Bridge at half cent a point. 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.

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.” God 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 of the Men and Religion Forward Movement *1
