FILL OF NEGROES
Mr. Ryrum Would Once Have Debat

Rev. H. C. Byrnra in AA'inston-Salem
Journal.
Tile Cole trial has ended so far as
the Rockingham scene goes. Some
are mad and some are glad. . How
else could it be? Bill Ormond is
dead and a million suns will never
bring him back to his old mother.
AA’. 11. Cole is yet a murderer anil
a million suns will never bleach from
his consciehee the stain of human
b'o d. The winters will slip by and
warm gentle spring wearier will bring
a green cover over the little mound
Wider which poor Itiil sleeps, and
men. women and children will march
by the grave and say. "This is Bill
Ormond's grave, who was killed by-
Cole."
AV. B, Cole will move among men.
bu: every turn of the way the enternal
law of jisychblogy will say in those
Wild know. "There goes I lie man who
killed Bill Ormond."
The closing of his eyes at the end
of each day will still leave lingering
in his soul the scene of a dying man.
The gray light of a new day .will
whisper to him. "You killed that
man." All tile opinions, all the esn
treverted ideas, all the laws, written
or unwritten, all the philosophy this
side of the rolling ages of eternity
will never change the fact”
I was in the hospital when the tfial
began and for days I could
not read the reports, neither could I
hear them read. The latter part of
the ease I gave some attention. Men
of my own native county had fie ter
rible responsibility of rendering a de
cision. I would not have been onft of
them for a thousand dollars.
At this distance I have mi criti
cism to make. 1 never saw Cole or.
Ormond either, so far as I know.
Tijey both seem to have been, prior
tb this men of good character.
I w-ish that my native county would
lets me make the following observa
tion in file fear yf God and ju-tiie.
These tilings grow Out of suggestion
from this memorable and regrettable
trial. Our state is rent aMimier over
the termination of tile ease and v ould
have been had tin* verdict been other
wise. They are discussing it from
where the, restless sea lashes itself
into a spray, to where the sun kisses
tli* towering peaks on the western
border at the close of the day . ’
Cities, towns, 'villages, hamlets and
Countrysides are wrangling with each
other as to what effect the trial will
have. But no one will settle the
question.-
The suggestions are self-defense. In
sanity. unwritten law, moral influence.
(Due miitister said in my presence a
month before the trial that he would
obligate himself tp go to the clcetrie
chair for the defendant for a thousand
dollars. The statement was made
without any reference to guilt or in
nocence, but based on the general
course of *ents.
I heard two women discuss the ease
before the decision. One said Cole
ouglit to be released, tile other said
he ouglit to go to the electric chair.
I heard one man say that nine out of
ten of ns would do as Cole did. This
was before the trial ended. One since
sqid in my presence that ninety-nine
out of a hundred would have done
this. Each based his statements on
the slander in the ease.
Well I wondered if I was one of
the nine or ninety-nine. I have three
grown daughters. If I am one of the!
ratio I am in favor of going to our
legislature and writing into onr stat
utes a law-allowing me to do it. If
written down in my nature by the
hand of an eternal God that it is
right to act thus, certainly there can
be nothing wring ip having it justi
fied by the will of njan. Yet 1 would
go slow on endorsing ouch action.
Capital punishment has been hor
rible to me since Childhood. AA’hen a
student at Marshvillc at the time the
illustrious John C. Sikes, who has
made a great lawyer, while I turned
out a scrub preacher, was a student
at Wingate. I would have been glad
to have debated with him that capital
fmnishm'ent should be abolished, and
I would have taken the affirmative.
Now what must I do after the go
ings of the years and those strong
convictions? Must I admit I have
been wrong?
The State board of health has tabn
■ lated for us the homicides of 1924 in
t our good old state. We lacked one of
getting” three hundred last year; 200
graves filled with perrons who died at
the hands of some one else; 235 were
shot down. 47 were cut to death.
I do pot know how these eases were
disposed of in cotfrt. but one day in
June. 1924. I walked down through
the jieniteniiary in Raleigh and look
ed over the electric chair, looked at
the metal caps that fits down over the
clean shaved head. Then I turned
and walked out, .saying to myself Jhat
is rather bad business for me to be
engaged in.
i Biit it's up to 'us. we are the state;
we can or we can't as we please. As
■ 1 walked along the side of the build
ing to my left I saw through the out
er windows into the inner prison. tile,
death row, nine men were standing
facing that electric chair. They were
all negroes. As those poor less for
tunate creatures marched on to their
awful doom, I was forced to say,
whai a sad misfortune that you poor
fellows haven't enough sense to go
crazy when you get out your knives,
razors and guns and start out kill
ing. Tien you could tell the courts
that you were crazy. \
Nearly forty years ago Baxter
Shemweli killed Dr. Payne, in Lex
ington. The story is told you fresh
in ahv part cf Davidson county yet.
The last few years have seen Shem
well stranded in his wealth, broken
in body and humiliated to a place on
the chain gang of his home county.
Dr. Peacock shot down a man in
tlie same county a few years ago and
was sentenced to the criminal insane
department of the state prison. He
now is practicing medicine in Cali
fornia. 1 knew him personally. 1
could not testify that he was a good'
man.
The Czar of Russia, a country civi
lized when red men roamed the wilds
of the western world, ten years ago,
was the richest man in the world.
He was placed against a wall, his
wife by his side and six children were
siood along side by side. Then the
horrible guns were fined and the eight
royalists fell dead in their own blood
like eight dogs. It i.s explained in
these words, “Disregard for author
ity.”
It might be a good time'for me so
change my mind and say, so it can
be heard, that. we had better tighten
up a little on this killing business as
I may not leave as great a heritage
for m.v children as 1 had hoped to
leave.

Medium Falls in Test.
Tin l Patlifimler.
Alice Dooley, pastor of the Church
of Divine Healing in Pittsburgh, fail
ed to prove hcrijplf a spiritualistic
medium to the satisfaction of Harry
Houdini. the noted magician who of
fers lio.ooo to any persop who will
perform a simple 'test. The test,
which was made on the stage of a
theatre in the presence of an audience,
wa- as follows: The magician plac
. cd three questions before the alleged
medium in sealed envelopes. If she
could answer them correctly it was to
be accepted as proof of her medium
ship.
She could not answer the questions.
“What was the name of the first chief
Os police from Pittsburgh, whom I
met in .Europe?” was the .first ques
tion put by Houdini. “Not quite
dear, but possibly March 30, 1804,”
was the reply. “Who taught me the
East Indian trick?” was the second
question. The medium replied; "Is it
possible?” She did not touch the cop
tents of the third envelope.
Mrs. Dooley, according to Houdini,
was not seeking the prize. She under
took the test in an effort to “prove
that there are honest mediums." Al
though the medium admitted that the
demonstration was “very unstftisfact
ory to me,” she asked that the niagi
rian might give her a chaucc to dem
; onstrate her powers in a private test.
Houdini suggested that he be permit
ted to submit her name to the Scien
tific American, offering himself to pay
her expenses in Xe\v York for a week
for that purpose. Mrs. JDooley ac
cepted the offer.
