Although when Harrison was ar
dested last January, he made a con

econfession during the trial and said
that he was confidenced into sign

‘ He made the claim on the stand
that George Williams, a white in
vestigator for the state's attorney
effice. had urged him to sign the
statement with the promise that
the state’s attorney would take care

A picture of Harrison's had been
found in the home of Mrs. Kath
erine Smolek, the white comyplain
ant against him. and Williams told
the “judge” that vnless he made a
eanfesion. it would go very bad for
him in court if it were brought out
that he had had a love affair with

Harrison therefore signed the
statement and threw himself on the

Convict J. Catone
NEGRO CONFESSED
MEMPHIS, Tennessee, Dec. 2.--
Charlie Collins, who pleaded
guilty to a series of spectacular
robberies, and pointed to John
Catone, white, proprietor of a gro
cery store, as the receiver of stolen
voods amounting to several hun.
dred dollars. was sentenced ¢
corve eight years in the state|
penitentiary. He was convicted unt
'three charges. housebreaking, lar
‘ceny, and receiving stolen pro
perty. The same jury that gave
Collins nearly the full extent of |
the penalty for his criminal acts!
returned on the very same d:n'v]
| Wednesday, December 2. a mistrial )
verdict in the case of John Catone |
indicted on a charge of receiving
the stolen property. The two mon
lwere indicted jointly several
lweeks ago by a Shelby County
Grand Jury.
- The white defendant was repre
sented by attorney R. R. Bond.
celebrated lawyer of this city. Un
able to secure a legal representa
tive, Collins received "the service
of a public defender. Attorney Ed
ward Burten, A fierce and un
merciful prosecution of both de
fendants came from Assistant At
ftm’ncy General Will Gerber and
| Attorney Campbell. Since Collins
‘'had already brought the wrath of
'the criminal law upon his head
through his confession, the two
state prosecutors blazed their fier:
‘attack at John Catone, who was
convicted on a similar charge sev
leral years ago. The last case wa¢
lheard in Judge Harsh's court
division No. 2.
The voung public defender Bur
ton realized that his client had
thrown himse!f on the merices of
‘court, and he merely pleaded that
‘the jury would deal gently with
‘him.
| “From the very beginning.” At
torney Burton declared. Collins
has co-operated with the police
*force.”” 'After his confession, he
took the officers immediately to
the place where the goods were
' stored. I realize that you are
| duty bound to sentence this Ne
'gro defendant, but do so wthout
prejudice and passion.”
Attorney Bond pointed out that
Collin’s confession was invalid so
far as Catone, his client, was con
cerned. The weight of evidence
must rest upon semething clse
rather than the confession of the
Negro defendant. The law does
not hold one accomplice account
'able on the strength of the evid
ence presented by another. “And|
without the confession of (_'n%'insj
Catone would have never been ar
rested.”
The defense counselor went far
ther and stated that the state
must prove that Catcne bought the
goods with the Kknowledge that
they were stolen goods and with
the fraudulent intention of d
priving the owner or owhers of
them. “The fact that Catone spent
sixty days in the county jail on a
like charge does not have any
bearing on the present case. At
torney Bond closed his summary
with the appeal that the defendant

$100.000 Budget |

committece were made to the con
vention at the Thursday afternoon
session. These reports were {o e
effect that the convention -carry
on a million dollar budget drive
next vear, and that a special com
mittee be selected te work out the
details by which this huge sum
mav be raised Dr. 1. K. Williams

million members of the National
Baptist Convention could raise one
million dollars. Next year in Feb
ruary the executive board will

plans.
(ioes on Record for Prohibition ]
After a stormy discussion about
the 13th, 14th, and 15th amend
ents to the federal constitution,
the convention went on record as
v supporter of prohibition. The
cuestion was raised that it would
te mockery for the convention to
rcrelvy custain the present 18th
mendment prohibiting the lega
ized sale of liquor when the three
endments dealing with the fun
vnental rights of the Negro are
e ng utterly disregarded. It was
‘nally decided that the prohibition
ne involved a great moral ques
tion on which the eyes of the coun
try are focused, and the conven
‘ion should take one solid stand
in support of means by which
America may keep dry. Dr. Jordan
advanced the suggestion on this
question,

His efforts to secure a writ ol
man began serving his sentence
Friday evening, Dec. 4, followiny
the completion of Clark's trial
habeascorpus were of no avail
Judge Laughlin of the Circut Cort
refuse to issue one. ‘
It was during the cross-examina
tion of a litle girl witness in the
case by Atlorney Friedman that
he (Friedman) and the assistant
attorney general Marion Bovd be
ran their verbal clash which led
to the contempt chiarge. General
Bpyd Interrupted the cross-exa- |
mination to explain to the judge
that Friedman was intimating that
he (Bovd) had instructed the little
sirl what to say before she came
to testify for the state.
“You don't need to go into that
Mr. Bovd. because there has been
no interference that you have
tried to coach the witnesses, “Judge
Wallace said”
Atorney Friedman then stood up,
and refuted the general's statement,
and Judge Wallace commanded
him to ‘sit down.” The defense
attorney refused to obey, and the
Judge fined him fifty dollars
“I simply disagreed with the at
torney general I meant no dis
resepeet to the court” Friedman
contended.
“That'll do,))! Judge Wallace
said . Y10 it wasn't for the state
of your health I would add a jail
sentence.”
The defense attorney continued
his back talk to the judge, declar
ng that #& was General Boyd and
not the ecourt that he was laking
issue with.
“You can go upstairs for 10 days
the judge told Friedman. He dis
missed the court until the foullow
