he was questioned. His life was put
in jeopardy, it was said. and choos
ing the leser of the two evils. he
made the confession rather than.

ments were not made under duress
or threat.

ent is the victim of a well-planned
frameup and that he expects to be
able to prove it before the conclu

Accuses Board Members -
“Judge” Harrison was arrested
Jan. 17 after a Mrs. aKtherine Smo
Jelk. who had been jailed on a
charge of operating a confidence
game, told the state attorney’s of
$ioe that she gave a part of the
money hes was accused of accept
ing to secure a prisoner's release
from Joliet to Harrison.
The defense claims that the
board is behind the charges against
the former member. It is further
claimed that Mrs. Smolek had been |
paying a sum of money at inter
vals to an alleged agent of the Chi- |
cago office of the parole depart
ment to prevent her husband. Sig- |
mund Smolek. a paroled convict. |
from being returned to prison for
violating his parole. When she be
came unable to make further pay
ments. it is said. she went to Su- |
perintendent Phillip Barry of the
local parole office and complained. |
Unable to obtain relief from Barry |
she went to the state welfare de- |
rartment nccording to information
“Judge” Harrison said Mrs. Smo
lek gave him later. {
May Call Governor |
Her hubasnd again facing prison |
Mrs. Smolek went to see Mr. Har
rison. He sair she told him aboy |
the money she had been paying out |
and what had finally' happened
and asked him to help her. Taking
the receipts of the alleged parole |
agen gave Mrs. Smolek for the%
money. “Judge” Harrison put the |
case up to the board, the defense!
asserts. The governor's attention |
was called to the matter and that |
js why Attorney Green said he may
call Governor Emmerson and cer
tain members of the board.
When he reported the matter to
the full board and demanded ac
tion. Harrison said he drew the ire
of certain ather members who tcld
him in suopstance that he maw- be
enmeshed in graft some day him
self. .
From the evidence brought out
Lv the state. Mrs. Smolek obtained
&800 from the family of one Wil
liam Ridarelli and promised to se
cure a parole for him from Jo
liet. where he was serving o term
for robbery. When she failed to
obtain his release Ridarelli's fam:
ily preferred charges of operating
a confidence game against Mrs
Smo’'ek.

When Is Murder Lynching?
| By JESSE O. TMOMAS
A few days ago a county police
man by the name L. T. Carroll of
Fuiton County was alleged to have
been shot by a Negro ex-convict by
the name of John Stokes.
Stokes was accused of stealing
some clothing and Lieut. Carroli
atetmpted to place him under ar
rest on Cascade road for this alleg
ed theft. According to the daily
papers, there was a hand to hand
struggle between the two men
which resulted in Stokes wresthing
the policeman's weapon from him
and shooting him with his own gun.
While Carroll was adjudged tatal
ly wounded, he lingered for more
than twenty-four hours. A posse ot
some three hundred or more men
was organized and a careful search
made which resulted in Stokes be
ing located at a colored woman's
house in East Point Tuesday morn
ing.
Burton Carrcll, twenty-three year
old brother of the officer, who was
evidently a member of the posse
is accredited with having killed
Stokes. When Stokes was discover
ed, he was in a colored woman'’s
house on Washington street in East
Point and according to the daily
papers, he had taken oft his clothes
which were drying by a fire and
he was eating his breakfast. When
Stokes saw the officers, according
to their own testimony, he started
taward them with a chair. It is o
little difficult to imagine how one
man, partly dressed, could so
threaten the puysical well being of
a posse of three hundred men, as to
justify his body being riddled witn
bullets. It is not reasonable that a
posse of three hundred men all
with guns would need to fire a
single shot at a half-naked man,
whose only weapon was a chair. I
don't think any right thinking per
son would condone Stokes for the
crime he committed, the one that
occasioned the attempt to arrest
him or the one that was responsible
for his death. I also doubt whether
there could be a jury panelled that
would convicet any member of this
posse for having participated in thes
legal lynching. f
From a layman's point of view.
there is no difference between ai
iynching done by members of a
posse in this fashion than a lynch
ing committed by a group of "Un—?
identitied Persons.” The physcho
logy of deputizing a large group of
unrestrai :d civilians to run down
a Negro who commits crime and|
who thereby becormes a ‘desperado.’
creates an atmosphere that makes
this type of lynching easy. News
papers, public officials and private
citizens must outlaw this type ol
murder in quite the sume fashion
that we condemn Stokes for steal
ing or for slaying instead of con
gratulating the perpetrators.
In other words, we can not build
up respectful law and stablize gov
ornment through legal or illegal
practice of mob violence and lyu(:h-i
g law. |
