Aged Negro Ridd|ed With Bullets
WHEN JUSTICE
TRIukPHED

On cold windy day in January
1924. James Montgomery, a young
Negro of Waukegan, III, stood
silently before an Illinois Circuit
Court Judge, and heard himself
sentenced to life Imprisonment.
He had been accused Of raping a
82-year old woman. He went to
Statewide penitentiary at Joliet
protesting vigorously his innocence
and for % years, he lived in the
drab confines of prison.
The thought of innocence and
the fact that he had been rail
roaded burned feverishly in his
heart. He never gave up pleading
for chance to prove his in
nocence. neither did he for one
moment, quiet his anxiety by
keeping silent, but he let it be
known through his daily CONVEX
sations with his fellow prisoners
who were for the most part, SYM
pathetic to his story and believed
him.
In 1916, Louis Kutner, an at
torney had an occasion to talk
with some prisoners and heard "a
bout the Negro prisoner who was
continually pouring out his in
nocence about the prison yards
all these years, steadfastly hold
ing that he was serving life
sentence for a crime he never
committed.
Mr.. Kutner became interested
in the case, and made it his bus
mess to talk to Montgomery.
Montgomery told him the reason
he was in prison was because of
revenge. He related how the late
Prosecuting Attorney, Ashbel V.
Smith of Waukegan. had conduct
ed a raid on his home in search
of bootleg whiskey but had found
nothing. Believing his rights as a
law abiding citizen had been
violated, he sued the prosecutor
for damages and won the suit in
the amount of SIPS. When Smith
paid il. he remarked to Mont
gomery. "Ill get you" He said
that when he was accused of rape,
the Ku Klux Khan challenged him
to not try to defend himself. The
Prosecutor was member OF the
Khan.
Attorney Kutner studied this
information. II was quite possible
James Montgomery had been
falsely accused since revenge and
prejudice cou'a nave easily rem
dered him and unjust trial. He
took /, upon himself to initiate a
full scale investigation of the
case at his own expense. He be-
lieved Montgomery was innocent
and was now determined TO get
him freed. He made several at
temp,s to have the case reconsider
ed but all of them were unsuc-
cessful.
Finally, he appealed TO the Fed
eral District Court In Chicago
Judge Misheal L. 1goe studied
the voluminous evidence. The
Court found that Miss Mamie
