THE RICHMOND PLANET NEWS-LEADER FLAYS 30-YR. SENTENCE CALLS FOR EQUITY AND JUSTICE. ALL CLASSES, WHITE AND COLORED, ASTOUND- ED AT THE UNUSUAL PENALTY. VOLUME XLIII. NO. 31 NEWS CA ALL CL "Severity MAY REOPEN CASE OF NEGRO WOMAN. Given Thirty Years on Forgery Charges—Counsel Files Petition A petition for permission to reopen the case of Susie Boyd, negress, who was sentenced to thirty years in the penitentiary after pleading guilty in Hustings Court last Wednesday to three indictments charging forgery was presented to Judge W. Kirk Mathews, of Hustings Court, today by H. W. Oppenheimer, as attorney for the woman. The matter was taken under advisement by the court. Supporting Mr. Oppenheimer in making the petition was T. L. Preston, who represented the bank on which the woman is alleged to have forged twenty-two checks, when the case was called in police court. The woman was not represented in court by an attorney on the day of her trial, Mr. Oppenheimer brought out in a three-and-a-quarter page petition, through a mistake which sent him to police court that day to represent her, instead of to Hustings Court, where she was tried. Is Mother of Infant. Mr. Oppenheimer also brought out that the woman is the sole support of her 6-months-old infant, and that this is the first time to his knowledge that she has ever been arrested or convicted of any offense. That the case be reopened and the woman be allowed to plead not guilty before a jury and that the sentence be suspended was the request of Mr. Oppenheimer. The petition states "the three checks upon which the sentences of ten years each were imposed were for the "sums of $12, $9 and $8 and that the aggregate amount of all the checks which the accused was alleged to have forged was $183." Considerable discussion arose from a passage of the petition which said that "the judge of the court asked her if she had a lawyer to defend her and she told him she had no lawyer, as she did not see Mr. Oppenheimer." Judge Mathews and Commonwealth's Attorney Satterfield both denied that the question was eaked or that the woman mentioned the absence of a lawyer. Another incident arose when Mr. Preston spoke of the woman as an "ignorant colored woman." Judge Mathews said: "She is not an ignorant colored woman. Forgery is one of the most subtle ways of stealing." Mr. Preston then amended his statement to the effect that she was ignorant of legal procedure. Grounds for Motions. The following grounds in support of the motions were mentioned in the pretition: "1. That the accused is an ignorant colored woman; that she has always worked as a domestic servant; that she is utterly unfamiliar with courts and criminal procedure; that this is the first time she has ever been arrested or convicted of any offense, and that she is the sole support of her child, an infant 6 months of age. "2. That on June 7 the accused directed a letter to Mr. 'Lee Mann,' a childhood name by which H. W. Oppenheimer, an attorney, was known by the members of his family and the name by which the accused as a family servant knew him, informing him that she was in jail; that she had worked for a member of his family and asking him 'to get her out,' and also telling him who she was and what were her conditions and circumstances. The said letter is herewith filed as art hereof. "The said letter was received by Mr. Oppenheimer on the following day, Tuesday, June 8, and at about 3 o'clock on that day he came to see the accused at the city jail. The accused then told him that she had been arrested on Saturday while on her way to work and that she had been charged with forging several checks on a Mrs. A. V. Houseworth, a lady for whom she had worked, but that she, the accused, was innocent. Not in Police Court "The accused further told Mr Oppenhimer that her case would come up for trial in police court on the following morning, Wednesday, June 9, and requested Mr. Oppenhimer to be there 'to help her out,' Mr. Oppenhimer told the accused he would be there. "That on the following morning Wednesday, June 9, the accused, instead of 'being taken to the police court, as she had expected, was brought to this court for trial. That the judge of this court asked her if she had a lawyer to defend her and she told him she had no lawyer, as she did not see Mr. Oppenhimer. "That the accused then pleaded guilty on the three charges against her and was tried by the honorable judge of this court, convicted and given the maximum sentence of ten years in each instance, making a total sentence of thirty years' imprisonment in the State penitentiary." TO THE HUSTINGS COURT: As the petition of H. W. Oppenheimer, attorney at law, for permission to reopen the case of Susie Boyd and the determination of Judge Mathews to take the petition under advisement constitute together a renewed pendency of the case, this newspaper will not place itself in the position of being guilty even of technical contempt—although it has not the slightest fear of proceedings on that count. But it respectfully asks leave of the Honorable W. Kirk Mathews, Judge of the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond, to join, as "amicus curiae," in the petition of H. W. Oppenheimer, an officer of the Hustings Court, that the case of Susie Boyd be reopened, that she be allowed to plead again and through her counsel, and that she be put on trial before a jury in the Hustings Court. It is respectfully submitted to the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond that after-discovered circumstances, as well as after-discovered evidence, may well constitute sufficient cause to impel the Judge of the Hustings Court to exercise that sound discretion which lodges in his breast. It is respectfully submitted that the circumstances in this case which lead the Times-Dispatch to join in the petition of Mr. Oppenhimer are these: That the convicted woman was without counsel during the hearing of her case, without fault on the part of her counsel or on her own part; that she was not tried by a jury, as was her right, because, while it is not questioned that the judge and the Commonwealth's Attorney informed her of her rights, it is gravely doubted if she understood the full meaning of the information thus imparted to her; that if she had been represented by counsel, she, through him, would have asked for trial by jury; that in all probability the jury, taking into account the accused woman's status in life and lack of education, would have imposed a lighter sentence which would, at the same RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1926 A Little Token of Love from the Corn Belt NOMINATION OF BROOKLAND IN IOWA CHEAP CORN GOP CAL time, have served the ends of justice. For these reasons, which, it is alleged, are equivalent to after-discovered circumstances, the Times-Dispatch, as a friend of the court, respectfully asks leave to join in the petition submitted by H. W. Oppenhimer, of the Richmond Bar, that the Honorable Judge of the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond reopen the case of Susie Boyd and permit Mr. Oppenhimer, as her counsel, to file such pleas as to him may seem fit.—Times-Dispatch, Richmond, Va., June 15, 1926. WILL ATTEMPT TO SAVE WOMAN IN CASE A white merchant of this city came into The Planet Office and wanted to know if the colored, people intended to let the outrageous thirty year sentence stand without making any effort to go to the relief of the colored woman. He stood ready to assist and to give a donation for this purpose Editor John Mitchell, Jr. assured him that steps would be taken for her relief. He took copies of The Planet "extra" containing extracts from the Richmond, Va. News Leader and the Richmond Times Dispatch to one of the leading white citizens in the city NEED NOT WORRY. He replied "You need not be worried over this outrageous miscar riage of justice. I shall take action tomorrow in the case to see to it that this sentence is set aside." He later called up The Planet Office and told Editor Mitchell that counsel had been secured. There was a specif provision in the statutes concerning forgery cases and that Judge Matthews could and would be asked to act in the matter and this failing, an appeal would be made to Governor Harry Flood Byrd for a commutation of the sentence. "Tell your people that the white people of this community will not stand for such an outrage." PRISONERS HELP. TOO Word was brought that the prisoners in the City Jail had placed in the hands of the jailer money to aid in the setting aside of this thirty year sentence. We have received fac simile copies of the book and page in the deposit book showing that Grand Treasurer James T. Carter did place the proceeds of the check given by him to the credit of the Grand Lodge of Elks. It is in this office subject to the inspection of any one who desire so to do. Rev. J. H.

RAY BUTTERBAUGH, of near North Marion, Ind., has a hobby, and her hobby is raising fat ducks for market "I started with only three duck hens and a drake." said Mrs. Butterbaugh "The first year these ducks laid more than 200 eggs and I placed 77 of the eggs under us for hatching. Sixty-nine ducks were hatched from these eggs and I .used them all except two "The 67 ducks were ready for market in eight weeks, and they wighed four and one-half to five pounds each." This year I have about 200 and they will be ready for market the last part of June Finds Ducks Easier "I find that ducks are more easily hatched and raised than chickens. A large percentage of the eggs will hatch and if you give them the right care, you can raise practically all of the ducklings. "Of course you must have a building that will protect them from rats while they are young, but as they grow older they need very little housing. "One must have a range for ducks and plenty of shade and fresh water. It is not entirely necessary that there be water for them to swim in, but it is very nice when you have it. We have a stream through our farm and we it very convenient. "We match the eggs in incubators and raise them in brooder houses just as you would raise chickens. They do not require us to be a head as chickens and we find that it harms them very little to become chilled. "We start the young ducklings by feeding them stale bread mixed in either sour or sweet milk. When they are two weeks old we start A woman kneeling on the ground, holding a shallow bowl, appears to be collecting water from a stream.

"I find one disadvantage in a woman raising ducks is that they consume a large quantity of feed, and it is heavy work. It is just like carrying feed out to a drove of hogs. "We use wooden troughs. These troughs must be near the water, for a duck's method of eating is to shovel up a mouthful of feed and run to the water "If you do not have a stream, be sure that your water fountain is deep enough to allow the duck to immerse its entire head. "We find that ducks require green stuff and also plenty of grit. I notice that some folks have bad luck with ducks because they do not let the young ducks get out where they can find greener food." "We feed our ducks all they will eat and aim to get them on the market when eight weeks old. I think it is best to have the ducklings hatch about the first of May; then they are ready for market the last week in June. We sell them to the local poultry buyers." --- SUMMER AUTOCASTER There is a Roman influence in this colorful summer frock—and our guess is that either Julius or Nero would have liked it as worn by this 1926 American Miss.

So many people are being trained these days in the school of selfishness that the fundamental principles for the good of the body politic is being undermined. It is useless to discuss State's Rights now after the Democrats themselves under the leadership of the late lamented President Woodrow Wilson destroyed those rights by constitutional enactments. Others had joined him in this crusade. The Constitution has been described as an instrument with checks and balances. The primary purpose of the average politician seems to be to remove the checks and thereby upset the balances. Even the Supreme Court of the United States is not without fault in this matter. Some colored folks hate white folks and some white folks hate colored folks. Both classes are wrong. They must learn to discriminate. A friendly white man is worth to the colored folks one hundred of the other kind and vice versa. A great howl for political purposes is being made over the cost of the primary campaign in Pennsylvania. Those who did not spend the money couldn't get it to spend and those, who did not get any money are grieving and fussing because they were not able to receive any of the money that was spent. It is time to be rid of this species of hypocrisy. The League of Nations which had for its purpose the promotion and maintenance of peace and the prevention of war has proven its insincerity by starting a squabble, which may be termed a disagreement among its own members. As a result, Brazil has temporarily, if not permanently withdrawn from the League and Spain threatens to do the same thing. This enables both countries to disregard the pact between the civilized nations of the earth. As a matter of fact, both biblical and profane, there will always be wars until the millennium. Delaying these methods of settling differences results in the most disastrous conflagrations when they do take ever known in the history of the world. Pent up feelings running through centuries assert themselves and civilization throws off the mask of and indulges in brutalities and excesses that surpass those of the most heathenish nations. The only remedy for this weakness is religion, the conversion of the masses in a true sense to the point where they will keep their inhuman passions under control and learn to love their neighbors as themselves. THE WELL SPRING OF SYMPATHY. "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." The case of Susie Boyd, colored, charged with forging twenty-two checks amounting in all to about $185.00, and who upon a plead of guilty was given thirty years in the Virginia penitentiary had roused a storm of protest from the white people of this, community and a feeling of indignation among the colored people that has never been equalled in this city. This feeling has been intensified by the statement that the woman was a mother nursing a six months old babe and appeared in the Hustings Court without counsel. It was some thirty-odd years ago that the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia in the celebrated Lunenburg Case set aside the sentence of death meted in Judge Orgain's court of Lunenburg County to Pokey Barnes and Mary Abernathy and remanded the case for a new trial and this was done while attorneys learned in the law had gravely previously nodded their heads and declared that as there had been no exceptions noted by counsel this could not be done. Attorney General Scott, father of the presiding jurist of the Circuit Court of this city, had announced that the primary purpose of all governments was the safe-guarding and the protection of human life and property, with human life first. The women were subsequently released from custody. Hon. George D. Wise, Judge Henry W. Flournoy and Captain A. B. Guigon were counsel in this case. They have "gone the way of all the earth." But this is beside the question. The gratifying part of the whole affair is the attitude of the Richmond, Va., News Leader, the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch and a host of other white people, both male and female, whose names do not appear in public print, but who revolted at this astounding miscarriage of justice. There is another side to the picture of Southern life in the statement that when Susie got into trouble she did not send for colored friends. She thought of the white family here she had been formerly employed and she appealed to a young white lawyer to help her in her trouble. While she was being given a virtual life sentence in the higher court, he was seeking for his former family servant in the lower one. White people who owned slaves are well acquainted with this trait of the faithful blacks. When then Dr. Douglas Freeman told us to tell "your people" that the white people of this community will not stand for such an outrageous sentence, we took him at his word and within three hours afterwards had an "extra" edition of this journal in the hands of newsboys upon the streets of this city. He and those associated with him have kept their word. It brings to us again the feeling of security which had been rudely disturbed and caused us to realize that after all we may be best off below the "Mason and Dixon Line." Colored folks, let's respect the law. Let us do right, be honest amidst great temptations. Justice is at its worst, when it is not tempered by mercy. To those who are relentless in the prosecution of the unfortunate, it would be well to read John 8th chapter, 7th verse. "And the Scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They said unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned; but what sayest thou? * * * But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote upon the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again, he stooped, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last. and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her: Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, "No man, Lord." And Jesus said unto her: "Neither do I condemn thee; go, and sin no more." How to Gain 5 Pounds in 30 Days. If You Don't Do It, Get Your Money Back.

VA., June 18.—Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, delivered a stirring address at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute Wednesday. In part, Mr. Jones said: "Success in life calls for thorough preparation. Success in American life today is fraught with keen competition. The Negro must compete, not only with members of other races, but with those within his own race who have caught the vision of the new age and who are lured along by the attraction of success. The rank and file are dependent upon trained men and women for guidance and extraordinary service." Examples of signal success by members of the race in many diversified lines led Mr. Jones to the conclusion that there can be no generalization made of the Negro's capacity and outlook and therefore no generalization of the type of training Negroes should receive. "Mental tests," he declared, "whether of racial groups or of classes of persons, white or black from the north and from the south, have proven nothing except that environment and opportunity count most. Talent and bent should determine whether you should prepare to enter some lines of activity where Negroes have made no headway. Plan to make your contribution to the welfare of humanity in some definite line. Acchievement should be your watchword. The aggregate service of Negroes to our country's prosperity has been tremendous. This service could be even greater with a better type of leadership which you should help to develop." DISHOP J. A.

So I began, but in my first attempt I did not succeed, but being an oyster planner along the banks of the Rappahannock River, I had a chance to experience the suffering life of the human race. I began to think what service I could render to those home sufferers. Having succeeded in the year of 1924 with the seal of the Patent Office to make use and vend the said invention throughout the United States and the territories thereof therefore I am asking every American citizen who is interested in the welfare of the human race to help me use my brains for the good of those who live and are to live there. I offer a reward of $5.00 to $500.00 for improvement such as will appeal to the welfare of my business. Fried L. R DICKERSON, L R TAYLOR, Spluda, Va.

Now he has come to the front with his little oyster punch which has caused young and old to stand on their toes and push oysters into the crude little hole. This man with his hands has (By Mrs. Bessie L. J. Green.) There is many a man that finds little in life That's worth their time and ambition Dut it's not the case with our neighbor and friend, Who has given to the world this invention. He has taken the iron of the far-away lands, And mould it in shapes of his own. He grasped an idea of its figure and its form, And has set up a standard, for years. Do you want to know the name and will? Of our great inventor so dear? It's Leary, near Nesting by the side of a hill, Of a family of Dickerson, you may see. Go forth! And conquer the land and sea With a puncher that will open the pearls; You have set a standard for us all to live by, A standard for our boys and girls.

This Week By Arthur Brisbane ONE TON TOM NO CHURCH TO SUE THE JAIL COMPLAINS FILL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF Ancient rulers liked uncoath dwarfs and strangely deformed creatures about them. In that respect the human race is not entirely changed. In Los Angeles an undertaker builds an unusual coffin for Theodore Valenzuela, known to the circus as "One Ton Tom." He weighed 945 pounds. People paid to see him. If he had weighed only forty-five pounds they would have paid to see him, and if he had had two heads, fat or thin, they would have paid more. With "One Ton Tom" and everybody else too fat, the trouble is overeating or defective metabolism. Part of our energy creates new tissue. When old tissue stays, you get fat. Beware of fat after fifty. It shortens life. The good Bishop William Montgomery Brown, put out of the Episcopal Church for doing his own thinking, tried to compel the church by legal procedure to take him back. His lawyers sued "the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States of America." But the court says there is no such organization, no such thing for Bishop Brown to sue; so his suit falls to the ground. The aged bishop is puzzled to know how an organization could be real enough to throw him out and not real enough to stand a lawsuit. There are more mysterious things than that in religion. We are all influenced by others. Students have protested against "unfairness and cruelty" that formed human beings to be present at religious services every day.

Now the prisoners in jail at New Haven, Conn., say they also consider it "untain and cruel" to make them go to chapel every day. They want the same rights as Yale students. But they are willing to go to church once a week, whereas the Yale men demanded the right to stay away altogether. This shows how careful we should be to set a good example. The French Minister of Industry discovers that fashion can affect a nation's prosperity. France makes silks, velvets, feathers, rules fashion. Women have been using little material in their dresses, and French industries have suffered. That is to change. Soon American women will find themselves wearing longer skirts, fashions calling for many yards of goods. Secretary Hoover, in an able speech, worries about our national morals. "The moral and spiritual may be submerged by our great material success." He did not say whether submergence would come from the bootleggers, hijackers and night clubs or from high finance. In all ages good men have worried about the general condition of morals. $ \circled{1} $ fine Roman emperor had to discipline his own daughter. But somehow the human race manages to stagger along, gradually improving. Every new generation, new born baby, is a clean page on which a new story of progress can be written. The Treasury Department, Bureau of Efficiency, Crane and Company, currency paper manufacturers, and the Bureau of Standards combined, after long research, announce that the life of a one dollar bill is only six months. The average citizen can testify that in some cases the life of a one dollar bill is less than six minutes. James Brand, four years old, was disobedient. His father admits that he had threatened to cut the boy's head off, hoping the threat might frighten him into obedience. It had not that effect. On Monday James Brand got an axe and, trying to carry out his father's idea, cut off the head of his little brother, aged three. He killed the brother.

CUSTOM vs. COMMON-SENSE I saw a man suffering from sciatic neuritis, due to an injury to his hip. Somebody told him he had rheumatism, and that it was caused by defective teeth; he had eleven teeth extracted; did the neuritis get well promptly? No. If he had sold the car just before he cranked it, he might have escaped the neuritis which followed; but to extract teeth for an injury to the hip, well— Another patient suffered with a lame back for a number of months. "Rheumatism" of course. She submitted to a severe tonsil operation and, kept her backache until the real cause of it was discovered by a careful diagnostician. Parting with all of one's teeth is a grave matter; but the fact remains, that thousands of serviceable molars are sacrificed annually, in obedience to custom—to a fad. The tonsil may be diseased—many times they are; but, is the only remedy to be found in extirpation? We treat other infections successfully and preserve the infected organs, why not give the tonsil a chance? I believe that multiplied thousands of curable tonsils are "massacred" that should have been cured rationally, and this does not mean that the hopeless tonsil should not come out as soon as possible. It is so easy to go to extremes. Some day there may be a requirement that all high-school pupils shall have their appendices removed as a qualification for entry. Once we removed ovaries on the slightest pretext. Sanity is returning in this field, I am glad to say. Let us study how to preserve teeth and tonsils, before we become a nation of "plate-bearers" and tonsil fiends.

Enroute his companion speaker of going to Nan, and by careful information that he is the man who breaking Nan's heart. As the taxi arrives at the station Peter turns to the young woman beside him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I DON'T know in the least who you are." Peter said rapidly. "and I dare say you will think I am mad when I ask you—when I beg of you—to let me speak to you for a moment. Please don't be afraid." he broke out agitatedly as Joan shrank back from him in ovid alarm. "I'm not going to hurt you or frighten you. I just want you to help me—I just beg of you to be kind and help me." It was impossible not to believe in his agitation; Joan stared at him with fascinated eyes. "But—but I don't even know who you are." she said in a frightened voice. "I've never seen you until today—oh . . . oh, I don't know who you are," she said again. Then he told her: he blurred out he needed with the desperation of necessity. "I'm Peter Lester." "Peter Lyster" she echoed his name with a little cry—the color rushed to her face "Peter—then then . . . oh I don't believe it." she said indignantly. "It's the truth—I swear it's the truth . . . look—I can show you half a dozen letters to prove it." He searched through his tunic pocket agitatedly. "I am Peter Lyster—you—you've done me the greatest kindness one human being could have done to another by telling me what—what you did just now. But I want to know more—I must know all the truth. I've been down at Levenden—I only came up to town morning—it was Fate that threw us together. I can't leave you like this—I've got to know more. Surely you can have a little pity—a little sympathy. "But—but I’m—I’m full of it," Joan told him, her pretty eyes were round and amazed; she stared at him as if he were some extraordinary specimen of manhood who she had never seen before. "I—I’ve always bugged to see you—Nan will tell you, ‘It’s all so strange—I just can’t believe’ Her brows bucked. ‘If you’ve forgotten things,’ she said in perplexity, “how it it you can talk about Nan now? oh, I don’t understand.” "A man named Arnott introduced her to me in town a few weeks ago." "But," said Joan—"but . . . oh, if you’ve forgotten all about Nan, what is the good of going back to her now? You—oh, surely you can’t really—for her—if you’ve forgotten her?" Peter looked away; he could not explain his own feelings; he did not know what he felt; he tried to think of Nan, but his thoughts were confused; he was relieved when the stopping of the cat put an end to the conversation for the moment; he followed Joan eagerly into the station. "I'll come back with you to Leave-enden—I can explain there; and I must talk to you; there are so many things you've got to tell me." "But—but I don't know if I ought to." Joan was smoothed in tears. "Nan made me swear never to speak of you again—never to tell anyone what had happened—and I swore I never would—and now—look what I've done now . . . "Everything is different—it's like a death to me . . . I beg of you . . ." She sated at him sympathetically. "Very well," she said at least. "But if Man knows she will kill me, that's all." "She never will know—at least." C. 24 "Nan wrote to you for months from my flat." not yet. I don't want her to know yet—" He broke off. For a moment his heart seemed to stand still as be thought of Nan's engagement. Had she done this because of him? The train started slowly out of the station. "Tell me who you are," Peter said. She smiled. "I'm Joan Endicott. Nan and I have lived together for ever so long—ever since you and Tim went to the war; she must have told you about me—she wrote to you for months from my flat—" "Did she?" said Peter; his voice sounded humiliated. "I can't remember having any letters. . . . I can't remember your name, or ever writing to a woman at all. . . ." He brought his clenched fist down on his knee heavily. "My God, it's hard!" he said, with sudden passion. "It's not fair—I ought to have been told—I ought to have been stopped from hurting anyone as—as I must have hurt her." "It nearly broke her heart," Joan said. She was enjoying herself now; this was better than all the novels she had read—she meant to let Peter know exactly what Nan had suffered. He moved restlessly. "Go on—tell me all about it." "There isn't much to tell . . . it was after you were wounded. Wounded had been so patient and plucky—they told her she mustn't expect any letters from you as you were not well enough to write; and she said she didn't mind, that she was conjoined to her then—one evening Mr. Arnott came to the flat—neither of us knew him, but Nana, the letter from him once from France—he wrote to her when you were wounded and told her all about it. He was very kind—he told her that you were in town, but that you had lost your memory, and could not remember her, or anything about her—or that you were engaged, or—or anything. Nan wouldn't believe it—she lagged at him; she said that she was sure that you could never forget her. She went with him, back the hotel where you were staying; she said she must see you for her self. she said that she was sure when you saw her it would be all right." "She stopped with sudden tactic of how Nan had looked that night when she came back. "Yes—go on, please." "She wasn't gone very long," Joan said somewhat. "She came back quite soon. She didn't say much, but I just knew he was right, again. She told me afterwards that she waked into the room where you were and you didn't know her, that you looked at her as if you had never seen her in all your life before. . . Oh, poor, poor Nani!" she added. There was a bitter silence. "And I think that's all," she said. "Her stepmother died the day after," I think it was, and she had to go home to look after the little boys at Leavendon, and she's been there ever since." "And—and she never wished me to be told—"? Peter asked huskily. "She wouldn't hear of it. I know Mr. Arnott wanted to tell you, but Nan said she would never forgive him if he did. She made us all promise." Peter looked up. "Do you know that she is engaged to another man now?" he asked suddenly. Joan stared; then she laughed. when she laughed. "Nan engaged to another man! Rubbish!" she said. "Why—why, she was ever so much too for you to ever look at anyone else. She just lived for the time when you would come back. She had made all her clothes to be married in. She was so happy. Why, you were to have been married when you got your next leave!" she added thoughtlessly. Peter flushed to the roots of his hair. It was an intolerable situation. "She is engaged to another man, all the same," he said constrainedly. "A man named Harley Sefton. He has plenty of money and a fine place down at Gadsen." Joan smiled incredulously. "Somebody has just made it up and told you," she said, scornfully. "Nan would never do such a thing. I know—" He sat staring down at the dusty floor of the carriage; Joan watched him intently. She was not quite sure of him yet; it all seemed strange and unbelievable to her. Suddenly she moved a little along the seat towards him. "What are you going to do?" she asked, gently. "What do you want me to do?" He raised his unhappy eyes to heels. "What can I do?" he asked. "I's all so impossible." Joan considered for a moment. "I should like to help you," she said, frankly. "I should like to help Nan, too—if there is anything I can do—anything—I will, I promise you." "Thank you—I am sure you will. And there is something—will you find out why she is going to marry that fellow Sefton?" "If I can—and if you are sure that she is. But Nan is so reserved when she wants to be; perhaps she won't tell me. And, Mr. Lyster—may I ask you a question?" Her voice was a little shy and uncertain. "Please," said Peter. "Well—perhaps I shouldn't ask, but Nan is my best friend—and so you see—what I mean is— supposing she—she was free today, would you . . . "she broke off, not liking to continue, but her meaning was obvious. Peter did not look up.

A Convict's Graphic Recital. Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. RIGHT By An Insider (Reprint and publishing rights re- served exclusively by the author.) (Continued from last week.) Fate had certainly played a strange trick on me. Here I found myself, thousands of miles from home, a prisoner in a State's prison, not knowing a soul in the entire State and while but three weeks in the prison, I find myself, during working hours, outside the prison walls, in the front office with a desk and regular work allotted to me and being addressed by my name and not number. The most strange part, however, was the fact that they accepted me, in spite of what I was, because I could do the necessary work. Such an opportunity, I, as a colored man was unable to obtain readily in the free world. I put my entire heart and soul into my work which at that time included the billing and handling of all correspondence relative to the sales of the prison's industries, principally binder twine. Highly Complimented. I was highly complimented by all the officials in the office and each compliment but spurred me on to do more and better work. It was not long before I was doing more than the original amount of work allotted to me and my desk soon came to be the dumping ground for work from everyone, some of which I already knew how to do and others that I had to learn. One day the chief clerk, who was a native of Kentucky and fully embellished with Kebntuckian ideas, had some special correspondence he wished to dictate. There were but two other typists, one of whom was also a stenographer, in the office, and the latter, the Warden's Secretary, did not have time to take the chie flerk's dictation when the sales manager for whom I was directly working suggested that he give his dictation to me. The Kentuckian was very frank. He stated that he had never before been in an office where a colored men was employed in a clerical capacity and doubted whether I could take his rapid dictation, but would try me once. I strained every mental faculty and with rapt attention concentrated on the chief clerk's dictation for several hours. After the work had been wholly transcribed and returned to the chief clerk's desk he was so pleased with same that he immediately asked my employed if he couldn't arrange my work so that I could handle his correspondence daily. This was done. (The finest unsolicited recommend that I have ever known was given to me by this same Kentuckian when he left the prison for a better position and incidentally I was the only person in the office who received any recommend whatever.) Spare Time Work. In the meantime the cashier of the prison, who later became and is today one of my very best friends, asked me to do spare time work for him as he stated all of his reports, etc., had to go in to the State Capitol and my work was neater than the typist who was officially assigned to him. Naturally I assented with the result that every evening, every Sunday, every holiday found me out of my cell doing front office clerical work. The War Broke Out. After I had been in the front office for a few weeks the war broke out and the Warden's Secretary was called in the first draft. Attempts were made to secure another, but young men possessing the necessary qualifications were at that time finding better money elsewhere and I was asked to handle the Warden's personal work until a permanent secretary could be secured. Of course I was only too glad to have this honor and every piece of work I turned out for the Warden I made it a masterpiece with the result that they never secured anyone else to handle his work and I continued in the dual capacity of Warden's Secretary, and general office clerk for a period of nearly a year when fate opened up other avenues. An Inside Story. It might be interesting here to detail and relate the inside story of the big prison and its daily life, etc., which information is seldom correctly revealed. It was during this period that I wrote a special feature article, using a nom de plume and under the guise of a special writer, for The Chicago Defender, describing conditions that then existed within the big prison as far as the colored race was concerned. A Michigan Prison. As every narrative of this article is true, and while it is obvious that the writer who now has his freedom does not care to have his name broadcasted it would do no harm to disclose the prison and the State about which we have been writing. The State is Michigan and the prison is at Jackson, one of the largest in the country, situated about seventy-five miles west of Detroit, the fastest growing city in America. At the time I first entered Jackson, Col. Brice P. Disoue, on a leave of absence from the regular army was warden and neither he or his wife would permit any prejudice within the institution. It was Col. Disque who gave his assent for a colored man to work in the prison office in the capacity as clerk, something that other wardens have been narrow-minded enough to forbid! Wonderful Ideas. Col. Disque had wonderful original ideas for the up-building of character, etc., within his prison and it was unfortunate that almost at his inception of office the regular army called him and it is in keeping with his wonderful ability in the handling of men that at the close of war, he had become a brigadier-general and is now holding down a $30,000 executive position in private life. Warden Disque was granted a year's leave of absence by the prison board of control and Mr. Edward Frensdorf, chairman of the board, volunteered to serve as Acting Warden during Col. Disque's leave. It was under Mr. Frensdorf that I acted in the dual capacity of general office clerk and attending to the secretarial duties of the warden. Mr. Frensdorf was a real man's man with an outstanding liberal leaning towards leniency and during his reign of nearly one year the prison took on added life. Not a Front Office Warden. He was not a front office warden, but a man who had the respect of all the inmates and he mingled freely with them in the yard and more than any other of the seven wardens whom I have served under, Mr. Frensdorf favored the colored man to the extent that at the time I wrote that special article which was run in the Chicago Defender a colored man held every kind of a job within the prison that he was capable of. They were in the office, residence, garage, hospital, dining room, etc., all of which places are generally filled by "politicians" only, not to mention good jobs in the various shops. At a later period in this story I will contrast these conditions under a different type of warden. Prison Amusements. Life in prison at that time depended entirely upon the degree that the inmate could divorce his mind from outside conditions, affairs and loved ones. Unless you deliberately set out to seek trouble life certainly was bearable. Each week in winter months a late moving picture would be seen in the chapel. Every second week a prison forum or literary club would hold its meetings (the writer was its publicity man) and at these meetings learned men throughout the State would come and lecture to the boys. At intervals shows would be held in the chapel, which not only used inmate talent in producing but in some instances in creating as well. Usually when such shows would be given the public would come for one or two nights to witness same, paying a small admission fee which went into the entertainment committee funds. Ball games were held four times a week. An Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays the prison league clubs, composed of a club representing each shop, would play, while on Sundays and holidays the best teams in the State would come in and play and get beat, too.

After waitinp thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago we twoe leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J.

The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said: "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.
