By MARIE BOYKIN

BY NlAfGlE 9A1 AAiS
PROVIDENCE, r. J. On
Sunday, February "a, Harriet A.
L. Jones passed her 92nd birth
day. On the 26th, 2 days later,
she died. On Friday, March /,
her funeral took place st Alex
andeg Bells Faalerai Home a
Providence.
Harriete Jones has been a
resident of Boston since June
1907 when she married the late
BENJAMIN T. Jones then a prom
inent undertaken of Shawmut
ave-, Boston.
Rev. Richardson, Pastor of
Bethel A.M.E. Church, Provid-
ence, r. l., of1ciated and Eulo-
gized the deceased. Miss Gladys
Holmes brought resolutions from
clubs and churches. Marie Boy
kin a friend of many years read
the obituary which had been
written by Mrs. Jones niece,
Mrs. Florine Wilson of Provid-
ence, mother Of Miss Janet
Childs of New York, last surviv-
ing members Of her family.
Harriette Jones was the dau-
ghter of Rev. E. williams the
first minister of Charles st.
church and became active in the
life of Charles st. as Sunday
School teacher and member of
the choir. She has recently been
considered the historian of this
grand old church; she had kept
many of her fathers sermons
and early conference minutes
dating back to 1852 and, In con-
troversial church matters her
minutes and journals are relied
upon for veritries.
But the church was not her
sole interest, she was an en-
balmer and assistant to her hus-
belonged to many fraternal or
ders. as worthy Past Matron,
order of O.E.S. Prince Hall
Masons, a daughter Elk, and a
member of several clubs under
the North Eastern jurisdiction
of Womens clubs. Once she
served as matron of the Harri-
etc Tubman House. In the clubs
at the quarterly and annual
conventions and the church con-
she took active part,
particularly in the Mite Mis-
sionary Society. The African
Church of N. e. has
lost an able worker but gave lis
hope that the torch she carried !
will to taken along by some |
other ardent worker.
From Boston: Mrs. Rosa
Mrs. Lucy Brown, Miss |
Holmes, Mrs. Rosa Peay, !
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Jones, /
Mrs. Elizabeth Carter Brooks

attendants.

torted, 'They know Sullivan.
They're all friends. Would he
have had chance? OF course
not"
The legal crux Of the case
turns on the point whether or
not the City Council has been
given the power by the Legis-
lature of being the judge Of the
RETURNS OF THE ELECTION
in the same manner that the
House of Representatives is. The
House derived its power from the
State Constitution, contends
Banks who is former Repre-
sentative of that Legislative
body. So 1t was argued Tuesday
that the Boston City Council does
not have that power because the
Legislature, years back, gave 1t
to the Mayor and the Board of
Aldermen but then took it away
and reposed it in the hands Of
the Board of Election Commits
sioners who now have not only
the machinery to count the votes,
which the Council has not, but
also the jurisdiction. And il
the Board does not count the
ballots correctly the Court has
the authority to review the
Boards count and make the
necessary corrections, exactly as
Superior Court Judge Baker did
over year ago.
In the Banks case, immediate.
~ after the conclusion Of tht
recount at City Hall, one mem.
ber of the Election Board it Il
stated was overheard to say
"Those ballots stinks because hi
saw with his own eyes, they haf
been tampered with and I'll
voters of Ward y thereby l1at
been disenfranchised.
Last Tuesday Banks attorneys
remarks on these tampered bal
lots before the high court sue
cinctly drove home this point
That the crosses made by an
election official after the ballots
were taken out of the box had
certain characteristics which
were pointed out to Judge Baker
a year ago January by Miss Nc
Carthy, the handwriting expert.
Black crosses were beside the
name of Banks and the other
candidates for other offices and
then a light mark with different
characteristics placed beside Sui
livan. That these marks were
made with different pencil than
that used by the voters.
Also the handwriting expert
pointed out to the Superior Court
Judge at that time that the light
mark was exactly the same on a
The guardian., 1951-03-10

series Of ballots; that the elec-
ton official who made these
marks had in his hand pencil.
against the election rules, and
was told to put it down three
times; on the third time another
election official grabbed the PEN
ell and threw it away. The for
mer election official had been
drinking, was nervous and on
three occasions was seen with
the pencil.
Also that the interviewer Sulli-
van had handwriting expert
present during the trial and dur
ing the inspection Of the ballots
at City Hall, who was present
during the examination of Miss
Mccarthy and cross examination.
In spite Of all this, Sullivan's
handwriting expert was not pro-
duced or put on the witness stand
to contradict Banks expert. Also
that this election official, identi-
fed by name, who had a record
and livind across the street from
Sullivan was accused, yet he was
| not produced in Court to contra
dict the evidence of the two other
election officials who Banks put
on the stand as witnesses.
Atty. Heaphy asserted that all
though the Superior Court Judge
found they (the ballots) were
tarnpered with, never before
since 1895 has this Courts iuris~
diction over such election cases,
been attacked. For all these
years amounting to over half a
century, this question was never
raised except in Banks case.
(Whyg)
The Supreme Judicial Court
cook the case Tor study and it il
expected that 1t will hand down
its decision in about months
time.
After fighting this case Of the
peoples disenfranchisement for
more than fourteen months, for
mer Representative Banks was
asked if he would finally take
his seat in the City Council.
Smilingly, he replied, "You know
I'm a lawyer and it may not be
proper for me TO make a COM
ment at this time while the case
is before the highest count in our
Commonwealth. have only the
highest confidence in and the
greatest respect for the Superior
Court where I originally placed
this case; the same goes for the
