A pistol was found under the negro's right hand and blood boiled from a wound in his breast. On a casual ex amination it looked like a plain case of self-destruction. Chief Irwin heard the evidence of those who had reach ed the scene first, viewed the body, and told the wife to prepare the re mains for burial, saying that it would be needless to put the county to the expense of holding a coroner's In quest. ' Late that night an old negro man went to the police station and intl mated to officers that Mame Massey had killed her husband. As a result of a hurried investigation the woman was arrested and Imprisoned. The evi dence before the coroner Justified binding her over to court The case went to court and was not finally set tled until yesterday. This case bears on one point In the race problem. It illustrates the fact that the negro who, Js faithful to his white employer and shows a willing ness to work will have a friend in need. What Mr. Cave did for Mame Jordan many other men have done for their colored servants. She had a friend who stood by her and kept her out .of prison. There have been many similar cases in this county. It Is the negro's fault that there are not more of them. If the darkey la m dustrious, polite and faithful, he will find a backer when in distress. .t io i.:.ike BUTLER AND THE PARIIOT.
