SEP 10 19 STATE LIBRARY WILLIE JOHNSON KILLED HER Mrs. Georgie Pearson Fatally Injured by Ryland Hunter's Car Was Repairing Machine==Glass Broken in Door VOLUME XLIV, NO. 44 WILLIE KIL Mrs. George jured by Was Repairing The Police Department scored heavily in the arrest last Monday of W. McKinley Johnson, of 1010 William Street, upon the charge of reckless driving and the killing of Mrs. Georgia Pearson, of 1011 St. James Street. Mrs. Pearson was crossing St. James and Baker Streets when she was knocked down and fatally injured by a driver in an automobile. No one seemed to have taken the number of the car, although it was mid-day. The remains were placed in charge of Funeral Director B. Scott. Later Johnson was arrested by Sergeants Rice, Gice, Wills Cousins and William Grace. He admitted that he knocked Mrs. Pearson and exclaimed that he did not stop because he did not know that he had injured her. Johnson's Statement. The case was called in the Police Court, Judge John L. Ingram presiding. Later, a visit to the city jail brought out the following information: McKinley Johnson came to the gate and he proved to be a short, dark-skinned individual. He wore his hair in pompadour style and when questioned said: "I did not know that I hit her. I was driving west on Baker Street and just before I crossed the street I saw a woman crossing Baker Street at St. James Street with her head down, Taylor's wagon was on one side of the street and a car on the other and I swerved to keep from striking her with the front of the car and then I made another curve to keep from striking Taylor's wagon. Worked at Filling Station. I thought I had missed the woman. On last Saturday, a fellow named Hovey told me that the woman was dead. In reply to queries he said that he did not tell any one. "I did not think I had struck her until they told me" he said. Johnson worked for Mr. Vaughan as a filling station on Chamberlayne Avenue and Lombardy Street. Please tell him to come down here and see me. The car was a Chevrolet. It belonged to Mr. Humer, a grocer on Adams Street between Clay and Leigh. The way they found out about me must have been by Taylor's telling them. I worked at one time for J. W. Brown on Second Street. He knew me there. He put out the report that I hit her and ran. That Driving Permit. Asked about his not having a driving permit, he said, "I lost my permit. I had it in a pocketbook and lost it. I have no people. All are dead. Johnson said. He claims to be 19 years of age, but looks older. WORKED AS A MECHANIC. Questioning J. W. Brown at 741 N. 2nd St. at his auto repair shop, he said that Willie Johnson had worked for him. He was reluctant to talk more but stated that when he left his employ he did not quit on his own motion. Calling at Ryland Hunter's grocery at 517 Adams St. it was ascertained that Johnson had appeared there to repair the carburetor of the Convoyler car and it was not known that he had taken the car out of the yard. He had it cut an hour and a half and it was sometime afterwards upon a closer examination it was found that the glass in the left hand door had been shattered. NO INFORMATION GIVEN Hunter expected him to do the work on the car, to call the next morning for his money. The sur prise came when the officers came to locate the car. It was found out that Johnson had taken the car to W. I. Johnson's to be washed. This concluded the information concerning the car and sertied the question as to just how Willie MKinley Johnson who was employed at Vaughans Filling Station came in possession of this particular car. At Hunter's grocery he is said to have represented himself as a mechanic. DR PARHAM TO PREACH Dr. S. L. Parham, of High Point, N. C. will preach at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday morning and night, September 11, 1927. Wilson Justified in Killing Law Officer With Hooded Mob Protracted Hearing----Defense of Home and Family Plea Wins DANVILLE, VA., Aug. 31.—A four-hour hearing, held under an oak tree at Bachelors' Hall this afternoon, failed to determine the status of Charles W. Wilson, aged 60, who recently shot and killed J. Claiborne Sparrow, one of the group of men alleged to have been hooded. He is asking freedom on the claim of home defense. Fourteen witnesses were heard. Many of them were mercilessly cross-examined by the defense to show, if possible, some connection of the Klan with the visit. One of the three magistrates then said he would have to adjourn as he has a sick wife. It was decided to hear the final arguments at 4 o'clock Friday. Commonwealth's Attorney P. J. Hundley asked that the case be sent to the grand jury and waived argument. Defense counsel said they wished to be heard, "probably at length." The village has no hall and so a waw was stretched on open ground near a tobacco barn in which the witnesses were kept. A door across two benches was the desk of the three magistrates. About 500 persons were present. In the limbs of the trees many farmers were perched. They had called it a day to hear "Charlie Wilson's trial." Witnesses for the State, men declared to have been on a mission at the Wilson home the night of the shooting, denied that they saw any hooded figures. Members of the police were ordered to the site and were terrorized by the late visit and said that all the visitors wore hoods and robes. Constable on Stand County Constable Oakes, who is said to have led the party, swore that none of the men wore hoods and that there were only six persons present. Oakes was on the stand nearly an hour. The burden of his story was that some one, he could not recall who, also the anonymous author of a letter, had made reference to visits by a Negro to the Wilson home. It was the plan to talk to Wilson about it and that was why he took along a group of men, none of them deputized. It was said that Oakes after seeing Sparrow shot and after aiding him to his brother's car, went home and to bed and made no effort to arrest Wilson until six hours later. Child Is Heard. Seven-year-old Jack Wilson, grandson of the accused, gave the most vivid testimony. After admitting that he knew that small boys who tell untruths burn up, he said: "Some men shouting outside woke me up. They opened the window and flashed a light in. They were old Ku-Klux with high white cans and all had on white. I counted five. They tried to bust in the window, didn't they granddaddy?" turning to the accused. Three hoods, two silk belts and a piece of white cloth were exhibited today, also revolver bullets found in the victim's pocket. Cornor Taylor testified that he had found a Klan membership card on the body. The fact that Sparrow was hattest was emphasized by the defense. Farmer Sees Crowd. Frank Sams, a young farmer, testified he saw at least twenty men gathered together, and eight or nine cars parked near the Wilson home. Paul Cross, with him in the car failed to appear when called. A deputy brought him from a tobacco field and Cross testified he was at the house at his house told him he "need not come." Cross was nervous and his memory seemed bad. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1927 Tom Davis, son-in-law of the accused, said he saw a white robed body being carried away. Wilson was on the stand for nearly an hour. He intended, it was said, to shoot the second barrel of his gun, but he did not have a cap. He said the men tried to force their way into the house. His wife testified that she urged her husband to "hold the other barrel until they came in," admitting that she was badly frightened and felt her husband had the right to defend himself. All the members of the household said that one of the party fired at Wilson. Nearly all the State witnesses said they heard two shots. The gun was produced from police custody; it was found that one barrel was still loaded. NEGRO YOUTH COVERS 93 MILES IN RUN NEWPORT NEWS, VA., Sept. 6. —What is believed to be a new record for marathon running in this State was set by Wesley Smith, diminutive Negro youth of this city, who states that he left Newport News at 5 o'clock Monday morning, ran to Richmond, a distance of approximately seventy-five miles, turned about without a halt and covered eighteen miles of the return journey before he was forced to stop because of exhaustion. Smith, according to his statement, was running exactly 12 hours and 52 minutes, and covered an approximate distance of ninety-two miles. The runner was paced by an automobile with official timers over the entire distance. His average speed was said to have been between seven and eight miles per hour. OPENING OF THE VIRGINIA SEMINARY.

Now for sensations and surprises. Present leaders must increase their vote totals mightily if they wish to finish in the prize winning class. As may be seen by glancing at the vote totals below all the leading candidates are entirely too close to be safe, so development are bound to happen. It is in you to win if you will. This is the final test. These are the days that test your resourcefulness. Here is where your courage upholds you, and keeps you from trailing in the dust. Sometimes, too, your supreme courage urges you on, even when you tie, but it is the gamest fight of all. 'Tis the coward who quits to mis-fortune 'Tis the knave who wins half the battle. 'Tis the fool who changes every day. Then throws his chances away. The time to succeed is when there, Discouraged, shows traces of tire. The battle is fought on the "home stretch." And won—twixt, the flag and the wire. The final vote scale is the one big opportunity for success for a motor car that holds treasures of happiness for you. Read the final instructions carefully if you would be a prize winner. Provisions that are absolutely vital to success. The present indications point to hairbreak finish and appears certain that the margin by which prizes will be won, occasion the greatest surprise. No candidate can feel certain of victory, and there is abundant room for speculation as to the outcome. The race is too close to bank on any possibilities as there are many people interested in each candidate to assure anyone an easy victory. Relaxation at this time is suicidal to success. Determination to win, and votes alone will win prizes for you. AL C. EDMUNDS GONE The funeral of Al. C.

Distributed from July 8, 1915 Richmond, Va., July 8, 1916. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitup thirteen years and have not suffered, from the horrible disease, gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve 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. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street, Richmond, Va.

I do not suffer with my pain as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine THE RICHMOND PLANET.

Pay for it before you read it and be happier. Going up to Heaven satisfies some people, but coming back to earth again is what is worrying most of the others. They do not figure out how they can ever get back should they be dissatisfied with conditions there. In view of the release of Warren T. McCray, former Governor of Indiana from the Atlanta Panitentary on parole, the same having been approved by Attorney General Sargent, the failure to accord the same favor to Marcus Garvey of New York is inexplicable. The former was given a ten year sentence for using the mails to defraud and the latter was given a five year sentence upon the same charge. McCray began serving his sentence May 1 1924 and about three years and four months of his time has expired. Marcus Garvey has served half of his time and all ap peals made in his behalf have fallen upain deef ears both at the Department of Justice and at the White House. It may be that Garvey's friends have made too much of an outside demonstration in striving to help him and not enough of silent effort to secure his release. Be thar as it may. It seems to us that something should be done to secure the release of this champion of African freedom. In many instances, he threw discretion to the wins and it may be that many of his friends are doing the same thing. Marcus Garvey should be released and this action in the McCray case establishes the fact beyond the shadow of a doubt. REV. SPRATLEY PREACHES Rev. W. E. Sprayley, the pastor, delivered a most impressive sermon at the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church at 11:30 A. M. to an appreciative congregation, from John 13:13. He discussed the attributes of the Christ. He summed it up in his declaration that the Christian world was looking now for the second coming of Christ. He wanted to know if those who were expecting Him were prepared to receive Him. He dwelt upon the story of the ten virgins. He urged all to be prepared and ready for the coming of the bride-groom. Rev. Sprayley did not speak from the sacred desk, but with a small Bible in his hand, together with notes, he made a powerful appeal to all. He could not tell how he became pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church. It was God's purpose and His way, and that was why he was pastor of the church. It was God's way. He urged that we were not to hear or modernist man cult. He just hear Jesus, Jesus came to the fulfilment of prophecy. He is the brother man. "Then, cometh Jesus, our brother man," he concluded as the amen corner, under E. J. Johnson joined in.

It had cost nearly $200.00 to make the trip to St. Mary's, Ga. She thought she would have died down there. They fed down there mostly rice and for drink, coffee, with no sugar in it. I arrived in West Point shortly before 10 A. M. and found Mr. Charles H. Clark and his father with a shop full of customers expected to return that same afternoon and told him so, but I overlooked the fact that I was going to a colored folks' meeting, set at 1 P. M. and which would take place at most any hour thereafter. As the bus made its return at 2:25 P. M. and I found the audience that I was expected to address slowly assembling at 3 P. M., I knew that my return ticket would be useless to me that day. Arriving at Saluda, I had pointed out to me the residence of Attorney General John R. Saunders and I hastened there to see him. The trim looking colored girl said he had left for Richmond the day before. I left a copy of the Planet and with the Mr. Kersey took a stand awaiting the arrival of Mr. L. R. Dickerson, who was to meet us there. When he arrived, we left for Nesting, and later he left us at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry A. Moody. Moody smiled greetedly, he saying that she hoped we would excuse her as she was washing. The residence was a model of neatness and cure. The porches was screened. Flowers were in the front yard and white-wash had done wuch to add to the beauty of the scene. Over in the distance could be seen the St. Paul's Baptist Church, where I was to speak. Mrs. Moody enquired if we wanted dinner. She could prepare a luncheon hastily. Mr. Dickerson had told us that dinner would be served at the church. We accepted Mrs. Moody's invitation. It was not long before we were ushered into the dining room and we enjoyed a most appetizing repast. The "moll in the bread" histrionic cause me to eat the meal and I have eaten at one meal in twenty years. Thanking her, I went to the church, where the "sisters" were there preparing for the meeting. This is a point on the Rappahannock river, where well-to-do white people have their "lodges" for fishing. This is a fish and oyster section. I left the party and strolled alone down toward the river. I was told that it was only two or three minutes' walk to that point. I had walked ten minutes with no river in sight. Just then Mr. Dickerson drove up in his car and I complained the distance much to my satisfaction. Upon the return to my station, after a few exercises commenced, Charley Morris lives at Nesting and owns a Hudson car. He stated that he had driven from Devan, Pa., 348 miles inine and arrived at Nesting in nine and one-half hours.

President's Outing Turns Nation's Eyes to Black Hills HE CRAUGHT EM WITH WORMS This Week By Arthur Brisbane SCIENCE AND RELIGION. GASOLINE AND RUBBER. CANCER NOT CONTAGIOUS. VANISHING BOB. The Rev. Dr. Shailer Mathews, Dean of the Divinity School in Chicago University, says philosophy is of no use in religion, because we cannot analyze our religion, "the greatest moments are felt, you cannot define them in words. There is not a philosophical term in the language or the intellectual processes by which we seek to grasp the meaning of religion." Philosophy has nothing to do with religion, and religion has nothing to do with philosophy. Philosophy deals with problems that can be solved, or may be solved, by proof, argument, thought. Religion deals with questions entirely beyond our reach, that can be answered only by faith. Two kinds of good news for automobile owners: First, you are told that if and when the natural supply of gasoline gives out, synthetic gasoline will be made to take its place. Second, scientists have discovered a system of bud grafting on rubber trees which should increase the yield of a tree 400 per cent. It is predicted that the cost of rubber delivered in this country will drop from twenty-five cents to less than ten cents a pound. Scientists say they can make synthetic rubber as well as synthetic gasoline, but that probably will be postponed, like artificial gasoline making, until natural supplies diminish. A French scientist proves by careful observation that cancer is NOT contagious. To do away with the false, persistent suspicion is a great blessing. Married couples living together, one the way of cancer, do not contract the case from each other, and cannot contract it. That is proved President's Outing IN THE BLACK HILLS CHICAGO — Peeking at President Coulde enjoy his vacation in the South Dakota Black Hills is the favorite sport of America's motor tourists this summer, according to a bulletin issued here by the recreation department of the Colonial Lamp Company of Wichita, Kans. Selection of the Black Hills as the summer White House has transformed the area into the most popular resort spot on the continent," says the bulletin. "Two thousand sand motorists, it is expected, will visit Custer National Park this summer for a possible sight of the nation's chief executive at play. "Caravans of cars loaded with tents, folding beds, gasoline pressure stoves and other camping equipment have filled the roads leading to Black Hills National Forest where President Coulde lived. These two parks comprising 1,135.167 acres of government-owned preserve are popular camping sites for the summer visitors." "Motorists who drive to the Black Hills will find many picturesque spots. There is the famous Hot Springs at the southern end of the Black Hills, Wind Cave National Park and Jewel Cave National Park. Harney Peak, the highest point in the United States east of the Rockies, Quarter Peak, the Woodland and river Lake are places of scenic interest as gold mine and Deadwood, the burial well as the old mine, town of Key place and stamping ground of Wille Paris dressers, realizing that long hair is "coming in," are buying stocks of "transformations," long hair arrangement for women to wear while waiting for bobbed hair to grow. Short hair is common sense, of course, and in time, long hair will be as obsolete as a veil over the face. Long after men had cut their hair, primitive women let their hair grow long, because, matted with grease, it was a good thing in cold weather. Long hair seems "feminine" to men. Women do what men want, and the long hair comes back. It will go away again. At San Toy, mining town in Ohio, Ray Wiggins, annoyed, bit off the ear of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Amanda Taylor. A mob around the courtroom wanted the man lashed, and the Mayor of San Toy told Wiggins he would quash the charge of "maiming and disfiguring" if he would take the lashing. Wiggins said "Yes. His back was stripped, he was lashed twenty-one times and everybody apparently was happy, including the mother-in-law. What is the difference between a man that bites off his mother-in-law's ear and a mob that insists on a public lashing? There is some mild government supervision of the radio. Do the supervisors consider it necessary or desirable that the details, bloody, or otherwise, of prize fights should be sent into homes and listened to by twenty millions of Americans, including children? Would you describe that as making an intellectual, "Christian" and elevated use of a great scientific discovery? We must have the prize ring, the bloody fights, of course, for those that can afford to pay $125 a ringside seat, just as we must have "speak-easies" for those that can pay $25 a bottle for champagne. But why carry the prize fighting into so many homes? Don't prize fight promoters realize that radio broadcasting will stop their prize fighting eventually? Clergymmen here and there will be aroused as they listen to the interesting fight news coming in over the radio and then there will be trouble. Many clergymmen, fortunately, are interested in things more important to human salvation than Darwin's monkey theory—which, by the wa) was never taught. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

ROBERT K. RAMBO, GEORGIA CHAIRMAN MRS. HENRY B. JOY, MICHIGAN CHAIRMAN CARRIE JACOBS BOARD SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAIRMAN. PHOTO BY KEVYSTONE FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA. — The named New River where Grover Cleveland and Joseph Jefferson used to ash, is the deepest river in the United States, attaining a depth of 92 feet. It is a fisherman's Paradise. Even at eight tarpons have been caught in the low River while scores of people thronged its banks in the heart of the city, to watch the thrilling conests. The flash of spray under the brilliant tropical moon, the struggles of the giant Silver King leaping to hurry the books from his great maw are among the spectacular annals of New River. But the greatest surprise was the capture of a tarpon weighing 165 lb., the largest ever caught in land and waters, by two fishermen who had never fished for tarpons before. Old sportsmen grush their teeth in rage that such luck should attend more novices. The lucky fisheries were W. H. Debold and Harold Ryder. They had taken a row boat to try their luck, when along came Mr. Tarpon and his wife, running up from the Atlantic Ocean to start housing, as tarpon, which is really b herrings, by the stream streams to spawn. Mr. Tarpon desiring to provide his fair lady with a bit bt, used the hook. The line held. And that tells the story. Commodore A. H. B. of the Rock of Ft. Frederale's Ingles' Club promptly went out to the Gulf Stream and caught a sail fish as a reprisal against his cruel old Lusty Dog 'knot. MRS. THOMAS O'BERRY, NORTH CAROLINA CHAIRMAN Mrs. GEORGE W. FOENGER, NEW MEXICO CHAIRMAN Leaders of state participation in seas PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 8—The Atwater Kent Foundation of Philadelphia to-day announced the completion of strong sponsorship committees more than half of the states of the Union, to supervise state and community participation in the national Radio Audition being conducted by the Foundation in its nation-wide search for young men and to women singers, now unknown committees to train university Of these committees in twenty-siates, nine are led by the wives of the governors; four are musicists of the State Federation of Music Clubs, and three are members of State Federations of Music Clubs. One governor and one United States Senator are chairmen and the wife of one Secretary of state is serving in her state. One anonymous composer of music is a state chairman and one cartoonist of international reputation is acting in another state. Five women, nationally known as civic and cultural leaders, have accepted chairmanship in their states. The governor who is officially sponsoring the auditions is John E. Martineau of Arkansas. The United States Senator is Harry B. Hawes of Missouri. Mrs. James H. Kerby, wife of the Secretary of State is chief of the state committee in Arizona. Carrie Jacobs Bond of Los Angeles, popular composer of "A Perfect Lay," is chairman for the Southern California committee. J. N. (Daring) Ding of Des Moines, widely-known caricaturist, is head of the Iowa committee The authorities who are giving ing and information and advice to us are very much needed. New River not only teens with giant bass and blue cats, but the ocean waters, reached from the river in a half hour, abound in game fish. The New River is one of the most beautiful streams in the world. Its surface is as glassy as a mirror, and reflects the luxuriant tropical shrubery, which borders its banks. Commodore Brook, formerly one of New York's leading advertising men, lives on its banks. He is raising beautiful tropical shrubs and palms for the market, and has won health and vigor in Ft. Lauderdale. Now comes forward Commodore Brook, will cavitate fisherman, and says "Ft. Lauderdale is a prescription recommended by fishermen and doctors and I maintain that anyone who will work can make twice as much here in the same time for the same effort that he would back in the land of ice and snow that I came from. Winter is a succession of beautiful spring and summer days." MRS. EDWARD FRANKLIN WHITE, (INDIANA CHAIRMAN) MEDILL CORMICK, NOIS CHAIRMAN MRS. RODD RAMBO, G. CHAIRMAN MRS. HENRY B.
