crime existed long before the muir
der of Mary Dalton; that the ac-
cidental nature of his crime took
the guise of a sudden and violent
rent in the veil behind which ne
lived, rent which allowed his
feelings of resentment and es-
arrangement to leap forth and find
objective and concrete form.
"Obsessed with guilt, we have
sought to thrust a corpse from be-
fore our eyes We have marked off
a little plot of ground and buried
it.. We tell our souls in the deep
of the black night that it is dead
and that we have no reason for
fear or uneasiness.
But the corpse returns and
raids our homes! We find our
daughters murdered and burnt!
And we say, KILL Kill!'
But, Your Honor, 1 say: Stop!
Let us look at what we are doing!
For the corpse is not deadi 1t still

in the wild forest of our great cit
les, amid the rank and choking
vegetation of slums 1t has forgot
ten our language! In order to live
it has sharpened our claws! 1t has
grown hard and calloused! 1t has
developed a capacity for hate and
fury which we cannot understand!
It's movements are unpredictable!
BY night its creeps from its lair
and steals toward the settlements
of civilization! And at the sight of
a kind face it does not lie down
upon its back and kick up it's heels
playfully to be tickled and stroked.
No; it leaps to kill!
"Yes, Mary Dalton, a Well-in-
tentioned white girl with a smile
upon her face, came to Bigger

feeling vaguely that a social wrong
existed, wanted to give him a Job
so that his family could eat and
his sister and brother could go to
school, Mrs Dalton, trying to grope
her way toward sense of decency,
wanted him to go to school and
learn trade But when they
stretched forth their helping hands,
death struck! Today they noun
