Green, the colored man convicted ot
Highway robbery by tlvo Chesterfield
Circuit Court under Judge Soutlu.ll,
has boon granted a new vriul by tho
Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia
and wil) not have to serve the is
year penitentiary sentence passed up
on 111iu by Judge Southall of tlie lower
court.
On May 14th, 1921 somebody attack
ed a white woman near Siop 17 of tho
Petersburg Electric Line and struck
her down with a stick, a cording to evt
deuce brought out at the trial Ov
Charles Green, and Green was apprw
bended near Stop 12 of the same car
lino that same day and haled betorv.-.
tlio court charged with highway robbery.
On June 2nd, 1921, Green was
tried in the Chesterfield Circuit Court
amid a scene of mixed feeling and rnes
Away out in the county secluded

whore, as the while newspapers arc <
want to say "feeling was running <
high." Under these untoward oircum- <
stances Charges Green faced his accus <
crs with the only protection ho could i
master, and thai was William P. Don- i
ny, noted criminal lawyer of th's <
place, who was assisted by another 1
and younger colored man of ability, C. I
A. McKenzie. 1
Lawyer Denny plunged into the de- <
fonso and stood by his man until lato i
In the night and it was near midnight 1
when the jury finally brought in the i
verdict of '"Guilty" and Judge South* 1
all pronounced sontcnco. Undismayed, t
Denny moved the Court to sot asido I
tlio verdict and a dato waS set for orgu i
meat. . \
Argument was had before Juagt ]
Southall who refused to interfere with i
the verdict of the jury and Green was i
"Forded" back to Richmond for safe 1
keeping, where ho has been "safe" i
over since. At the time of tho trial i
Prank Howard Hamilton was employed <
by the owners of the Richmond Daily <
Colored American to give a story ot ^
tho case, and with Lawyer Denny and 1
Lawyer McKenzie ho went out to tho i
pretty little court-house in the woods. ]
"Tl?o Colored American" took up tho <
fight to do what it. could for Green 1
and to help his attorneys in his do- i
fonso and created much public sentil 1
mont in his favor. Tho interest of <
Tho American caused the editor of the <
News Leader to make somo invcstlga- j
lions and the News Leader showed a j
kindly spirit of fairness toward tho ]
accused. Richmond people will rcmein <
bor tho sensational nrticlo in tho j
American which called upon the Com (
monwealth of Virginia to produce a ?
certain receipt which was taken oft
Charles Green's person at the timo o> ' ^
his arrest by tho authorities. This re- f
ceipt "disappeared" and the American J
accused the State of being negligent .
in its duty to help protect ils its prisoner.
The position taken by the Ameri j
can has been vindicative in the opin- j
ion 01 me supremo uourt as win no <

Possibly tho most spectacular inci- ?
dont connected with the whole affair ,
was the argument of lawyer Denny at j
tho trial, and his shrewd ability to ,
keep his head under trying circuni- ,
Btances and yot say to a; hostile onvif (
onment Just what he wanted to say. (
Pow men have that capacity. Denny j
captivated his jury and the spectators
in his opening remarks by a laudu*'
tory reference to the great Woodrow
Wilson, and the effect his compliment
to this Democrat had on tho entire ^
court room was at once perceptible.
This one incident made tho wholo
trial much easier and relieved a certain
tension which can bo imagine
much better than described. Then
Lawyer McKcnsvie looked square int<?
the faces of his jury and told that
grc/iip that ho had made it a custom t
of his practice not to defend a man in t
a capital charge unless he himself had 1
first been convinced of the man's in. <

PKUJAC1IEK TO IMMJONSK CIIOWDH
AT SIXTH SIT. ZION?SPECIAL
MEETING MONDAY NIGHT.
Indications That lie Will ftcmain
in Richmond.
Rev. Randolph V. Poyton has
como back to (his city for either u
brief stay or a long one. Interesting
information lion devolopcd. Ho
is only temporarily in charge of the
St. Pawl Baptist Church, of Montclair,
N. J. and arrangements for
tho installation will be mado after
ho finally loaves hero should ho bo
ablo to overcomo the heavy pressure
now being exerted to hold him in
Richmond.
lie officiated all day last Sunday
and, incidentally referred to his resignation.
ITe could not see why his
action should liavo caused'such a
sensation. All tho congregation bad
to do was to accept, it, bid him Godspeed
and let him go.
THAT SPECIAL MEETING.
But there are hundreds of mombors,
especially tho women, who are
unwilling to do this and tlioy aro
exerting ell (kinds of pressure to
have him remain here. A special
meeting of the Sixth Mount Zion
Baptist Church wil,l Ukj held next
Monday night to decide the question,
at which time a special committeo
which was named to confer with Dr.
Peyton and find out just what ho
will do, will make its report.
The indications are that if the
overwhelming vote of the members
of the church is in favor of his
remaining here, lie will give up the
call at Montclftiv, N. J. and if it is
simply a majority vote, ho will not
remain.
! KIND WORDS.
I Rev. Dr. Peyton has nothing but
the kindest words for the church. In
his resignation and a letter addressed
to the Doacon Board, he expressed
regret that the work had become too
heavy for him andt lie folt the need
of a charge that would not so heavily
tax his energies. I^argo crowds
packed tlio church nil day last Sunday
and tlio indications are that tliey
will be in evidenco again tomorrow.
