Cold hands. Penny-ante. Jackpots. Stud. Straight poker. DID YOU ever play one or all of them? Ever play a game for money? THIS MAN DID. Detected, he was arrested. Convicted in your Court, he heard this sentence: “Forty-five dollars or eight months in the chaingang.” Speaking for you, your judge said in effect: “Oh, moneyless man! “You may go free if you pay forty-five dollars. “You can not? You are poor? “And yet, charged with gaming, you dare to stand in a Court of Jus tice? “If you have not forty-five dollars— “A ring of steel shall be riveted on your leg. “A zebra suit upon your back shall proclaim your infamy. “For eight months, a striped thing of horror to women and children, you shall go publicly to and from your work, shackled to other men. “Since you do not pay— “You shall work in chains. “While others rest, when you try to sleep, you shall be chained in your bed to creatures as wretched and moneyless as yourself. “Your fetters shall gall your skin night after night. “And beware the guard! If you displease him, our lash is ready for your back. “POOR FOOL, PAY— “Forty-five dollars for the coffers of the great State of Georgia. “Miserable, moneyless, man. “Because of your poverty— “Suffer. “C-od may pity you. “We will not, since you have no money.” The man is dead. Stripes and chains were put upon him. In the quarry of the forty-nine-pound hammers you drove him in the frightful heat. There he fell. HE DIED THAT DAY. Remember— His offense was only this: he played a game for money. Nothing more. You condemned him. You demanded that he pay. He could not. You killed him; you did not intend it. But ignorance is no excuse. Paul wrote for you: “Thou art inexcusable, oh, man.” And Jesus said: “With what judgment you judge, you shall be judged, “And with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.” G-od wake you. Men, women and children are being destroyed in the name of law in Georgia. ’ , The guilt is yours and ours. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ot the Men and Religion Forward Movement I
