MaAilory mndo nn lntclll Kent tuid cniisorvntlvp pica for his rne, whllf Jud- Woffonl )ri?iit that tho negro had abused hl o?w tunltloM and hnd been i;lven n squaro deol In tills country, "flo ha always had an Impartial hearing In this lotirt." said tho JndKe. "Hut let mo toll ou aometlilnR, McAdory, when the IntolllROnt class of neRroes, sueli as you, y,o about shooting men on slight provocation what can yon ex pect of tho weak Individuals of the colored race?" McAdroy In oxplalnlnj? to the court why the sentence of twenty-five yea's In the penitentiary, which tho Jit'.v had prescribed In his case, Bhoulil not be passed said that ho bcllcvea racial prejudice controlled In tho do llboratlonB of tin: 'my.
