SATURDAY.JULY, 7 1923 Women take more pains to conceal the upper parts of their anatomy than they do to protect the lower part. Isn’t there a reason? Treat colored folks right and most of them will treat you right. Treat white folks right and most of them will treat you just as you treat them. THE SITUATION Gov. Alfred E. Smith has an nounced that he will not resign his position as Governor of New York State. Had he decided so to do, he would be succeeded by the Lieuten ant-Governor. who is a Republican, as the brilliant New Yorker was the only Democrat elected during that Republican landslide. He will make approximately twelve speeches dur ing the campaign. By his open dec laration upon the liquor question, he has made it the burning issue and has accordingly made a minor affair of the oil scandals on which Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, would have depended had he been chosen the standard bearer of the Demo-| cratic Party. The effect of inculcating by name and specification the 18th Amend ment in the Democratic platform was nullified when Governor Smith noti fied the Convention then in session in Houston that his position on this all importanf subject had not been changed and that he would seek to modify the drastic features of the V’olstead Act leaving to the States the right to determine the alcoholic contents of wine and beer. This an nouncement horrified the extreme dry element. which element claimed that Governor Smith had virtually bolted the platform, the expressed will of the Democratic National Convention and that the members of that Con vention had the right and were justi fied in bolting him as candidate of the party for the presidency. In retaliation, Hoover Democratic clubs are being organized throughout the country to encompass his defeat. As Governor Smith is being backed in States, which are antagonistic to, the equalization fee of the McNary Haugen farmers’ bill, the Democratic National Convention found itself m the same predicament as did the Re publicans at Kansas City and could only make vague promises “spoken to the ear to be broken to the hope.” Although a lynching greeted the delegates at Houston before the opening of that great organization, not one sentence appears in the plat form denunciatory Of this crowning infamy of the century. j No colored citizen appeared inside the convention hall either as a dele- J gate or as an alternate. They were | lucky enough to get ihaide as menial ser%*ants. As for GdvSrnor Smith, he and his managers ‘evidently scent ed danger and as a result, he re-| mained in New York, whereihe smil ingly enjoy-ed the convention exer cises over radio. There may also be some method and wisdom in the de termination not to have him travel over the country making speeches, where he is liable to come within the range of the anarchist or the Ku Kluxer. In view of present conditions, what are his handicaps and what are the obstructions to his success? He ha*! waged a spectacular contest for the nomination. He has won out with out any suspicion of fraud, deception or unfair dealing. He accepted the gauge of a two-thirds vote and al though he had the "power so to'do, he did not change t(e established rule to a majority rote in order to, se cure the nomination!' Hr has dissi- j pated the propagitfhdaHhat* 4‘inafKa, religion shall prove a bar to his dom ination as. candidate for President. | He is^ Roman Catholic'and he has > not made any Compromising remarks, with regard to his chosen religion, in ^ order to secure the honor which has come to him.

We shall see. Governor Smith will ' have opposing him, the prohibition J machine, which is drawing $40,000, 000 per year, with its army of work ers from the national government. ' He will have the open hostility of President Calvin Coolidge and trained ! lieutenants. He will have the money power of the “Soft Drink” people, the “Candy and Ice Cream” inter ests. The Grocery Combine, The De partment Store interests, all of whom claim that the whiskey interests di verted money from the legitimate ‘channels to the injury of the work ing mar.' family. He will have the church N-pk lined uy with the Tin x\iu\ Rian, with tne propaganda that the Pope of Rome and the Ro man Catholic Chuvch are behind this movement for the election of a Ro man Catholic President. He will have the opposition of the elements opposed to the Chief Sachem of Tam many Hall organization, the past rec ord of which has been a stench in the nostrils of the nation, even though it is claimed that the Augean Stables I have since been cleaned and are sweet ; smelling and pure today. Last but j not ieast, he must face the bitter opposition of the wealthy “boot leggers” today, who do not want the country, other than bone dry. It keeps the price of the underground liquor up from 600 to 1,000 per cent. ; When you let in beer, it decreases ! the consumption of hard liquor. When you let in wine, it lessens the’ use of soft drinks. It is against this kind of hypocrisy that Gov. Alfred E. Smith, of New York, is arraying his battalions. In this contest, he has the enthusiastic support of Democrats and Republi cans under the organized name of Association against Prohibition. It . was this support, which he would have forfeited had he failed to em phasize his pre-convention position and announce that while he would en force the law as it now stands, he would insist upon a modification of the same. Can Alfred E. Smith and the rejuvenated Democratic Party , running on an anti-bone dry track , win the race to the White House? ) Herbert Hoover of California, Wm. I McAdoo of the same State, J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama, and hosts of others, including Bishop James A. Cannon, Say he chnnot. You have the facts. Ponder them and draw your own conclusion. i - ! THE STRANGE CASE OF SYL- j VESTER MEDLEY A colored youth, now a resident of this city, but born in Monroe, North Carolina, is in the Henrico County •Tail in this city charged with mur der. The case has some peculiar phases in that he is a minor and was in the custody of the Detention Home officials, which officials held him under orders of the Juvenile I Court, Judge J. Hoge Ricks, presid ing. Henry F. Grimmell, a retired business man (white) wanted a boy around his house and conceived the idea of securing one of these way ward youths to serve him and his associates. i Mrs. Nellie L. Haskins, who is dig -lilfled as the housekeeper of Mr. GFimmell’s home came in direct con tact with this peculiar product of the developing department of our crimi nal system. Sylvester Medley was nagged, abused, ordered and threat ened until he became not only unruly, but stubborn. His efforts- to leave the place were frustrated by the strong arm of the probation depart I merit in its effort • to make a good ' citizen of him. He nursed his grievances and: in j creased his hatred of the peopi^'.liv ing in this Grimmell home. Affipfit tedly, he got up early last Saturday morning an<LJaid..io,..\Yait..for Mis. J Haskins. "'When she came down, his pent-up feelings were-ift-evidehee and he shot her. He then proceeded to shoot and kill Samuel"'!;. .Grimme1!!. He fired and struck Henry F. Grim mell and fired at, -but missed Miss Nellie Haskins. Was Sylvester Med ley responsible for his acf!?' Does the fact that he is a minor and was (practically under the charge ' and supervision of the Juvenile Court of Richmond mean that the arm of the law governing minors can be exert ed In his behalf? * ’ 1 ‘ I His admitted crime was a plain;' case of first • degree murder, > ior. which the Virginia statute* provide death in the electric chair' di life itn pgri sun meat in -the .Virginia pemtqn tl*ry. ‘ Those, Who'-*eem> to'be'In* the belt 'position, tb -kho w: liaythat ffie ’is .crazy. tASSfiMfr »re i>e ones to de cide tiri$r question. The qrime, is so. f‘b#tnch» -ifnajOut Of the ordinary the average mind will hasten -to. the conclusion that he is a lunatic. If J he is, he will spend the remainder of his days behind the walls of an in sane asylum, now called hospitals in this State. If he is’of normal mind, his days _ ; t **o*t h"aie-^t3.^abng&$drartH-1 jrvouAty.

He must first'be dealt with as a minor and then this department can commit him to a re formatory 'br’tb'lari’- asylum or at'bah send him to a criminal court of .re<j vord to be tried^as a'mature citizen. In the meantime. Medley, is. the most unconcerned person in the world, al though his mother is apparently heart-broken. It may be well to state that not even a whisper of lynching lias been heard here and the white and colored people are going their vr.y with scarcely a thought as to what the outcome cf this peculiar case will be. The knowledge that the law is oper ating and that ail phases of the situ ation will be considered end the mat ter and bring about a feeling that full justice will be done all parties in the long run. When the full truth is brought out, it may be that Syl vester Medley, the boy murderer may appear in a more favorable light. | I j (Continued trom Page l) Wore a Blue Shirt “I noticed that this boy wore a blue shirt under the white one. He had two revolvers of 38-calibre. On Mon day, he came in again and I had to [ go to Churchhill. He got in my car and went over there with me. When , I turned into 34th and Marshall | Streets, Detective Sergeant Cousins: arrested him. Medley had plenty of I nerve. He did not have any of the pistols on him when he wa3 arrested. You understand my position. I have no desire to take away from Sergeant j Cousins any of the credit for the capture of Medley. Some one had called from below. W. H. Davis, Jr., answered. He had a youngster pre paring shrimps to fill several orders which ran up to five gallons. Brief Secaion “He was having a time to do this and I laughingly went down the steps, after thanking him for the in formation and was soon in the Po lice Court, which had adjourned after a few minutes sbSsion with only one lone colored man to be carried down to the City Jail' on this Fourth of July morning. As for Judge John L. Ingram, he was in good humor and 3ome others were in the lobby discussing T. Gray Haddon's chances to succeed the popular jurist as jus tice of this same police court. I did not linger long and after a brief visit to Coroner James M. Whitfield’s of fice, I was soon again in the Planet Office. Medley was docile and unconcerned. He had left the Haskins’ home after the crime and had ridden • on the horse to a spot about a mile away from the scene of the shooting, in a wood just above the Deep Run Hunt Club, on the Broad Street Road. There he had changed his clothing and tied his horse to a tree, long be fore this was discovered about 4 o’clock in the afternoon Saturday. Then Came to City After walking up the road some distance he caught a street car and came to the city, getting off at 7th and Main streets. Then he went to a fish market on 17th Street. He said a Negro by the the name of William H. Davis employed him to work for the day. He said he had known Davis some time. At no time during the time he was at the fish market, however, accord ing to his story, did he give any hint of what he had done. As for that matter, he did not volunteer the information to anyone he met or talked with until he was captured he said. But while he was working Satur day night about 8 o’clock, a friend, Reuben Scott. Negro, who lives near his home in the POO block of Mosby street, came to him. The friend, he said, had read an account of the shooting in the paper and came to see him about it. “You had b“tt*r give yourself up to the nolic*: they will eafch vou any way, he saiu the friend advised him. He «aid he ac read with Scott that he thought the police would get him eventually, and thought he would surrender. Scott also advised Medlev to go to his mother at the Mosby Street ad dress, according to the assailant. Then the friend said he would bring Medley’s mother down to the fish • market la^er. Medley? told different stories as to 1 where he spent the night. First, he said he caught a car and went out to the end of the Westhampton line, where he-’ spent the night in a wood. He said be came to Richmond in the morning at about 1 o’clock and went to the home of Davis, on 17th Street, near Grace. Then he went riding with Davis, he said. Asked whether he had planned to leave the city, the Negro replied that he had not. Planned to Surrender 4 “I was just going to stay here or give myself up,” he said. Interviewed at the jail, the Negro told the story as follows: “I got up about 5:30 o'clock and went to the kitchen to make the fire. I waited around in the room until Mts. Haskins came down. I was standing near the kitchen cabinet ;when 'she entered the room. I saw the gtei' standing against the cabinet dnd sbhtiithing told me to take it and ! shoot the woman. I don't know why ‘i'dfd ltf !I had not planned to shcot “‘Thetl* I walked out into the hall <nd siw tiie girl and the boy. I 9hot ‘at h8r first, but she ran upstairs. Theii I* Shot the boy. I did not try to’ jgo dpsjairs. I did not fear I would be shot by Mr. Grimmell. But, when Ifir* Ojlmmell appeared at the head of tbk stairs, I shot him. . “A$or that, I left the house. 11 .haarjjl ajaistol shot and I knew Mr. i 'Griramelf was trying to get some body's attention. So I got my clothes on ail fast as I could, then the horse and rode away. I saw a man come up in the yard, but I could not shoot | because I had left the gun in the house. • ,' “After changing my clothes and leaving the horse in the wood, I came :# re St. Bapt.

YOU ARE WELCOME. to town on a street car and went down to the fish market, where I . went to work. I did not tell anybody ’ what I had done. I stopped work at about 11 o’clock Saturday night. “That night I rented a room on 17th Street, where I spent the night. The father of the man I worked for that day, William H. Davis, Jr., lived in the same house.” I Medley then was asked if he had any motive for the shooting. His j story concerning this point follows: Flashes Across Mind i “I don’t know. It just flashed across my mind to shoot when Mrs. j Haskins came downstairs. I did not hear them getting out of bed. “The older folks were all the time after me about something. I could never have any peace around them. It was first one thing and then an other, and I just got tired of it. I wanted to get work somewhere else, and several times I left them. Every time I left them they came and got me and there was no way of getting away from them. I wa3 only making $5 working for them. What's *5? That wasn t enough, and I couldn’t get away to make more. I didn’t know how to get away; they wouldn’t let me go. Medley slept in servants’ quarters on the Haskins’ place. The police said that, usually, he was called by some-j one at the house in the morning. But Friday morning, he. had gone to the house before being called a*nd before members of the household had arisen. . J* ‘ *.T O Medley was born at Monroe, N. C. He came to Richmond with his mother when he was 2 years old and has lived at the Mosby street ad dress since. The police said Medley has been arrested before on liquor charges. The man, whose name is not known, who drove up to the house as Medley was leaving, spread the alarm of the shooting to the police. After finding the wounded people, he drove to the Second Police Station, and police soon followed him to the scene. . . , ; i With the aid of neighbors, the wounded were taken to the hospital. Samuel E. Grimmell, 16-year-old John Marshall High School student, died a short time after reaching Johnston-Willis hospital, where he was rushed after the fatal shooting. His mother, Mrs. Nellie L. Haskins, is in the hospital shot through the stomach and expected to die, while Henry H. Grimmell, 60, retired Rich mond’ plumber, is in a serious con dition. 1 Armed with riot guns and aided by bloodhounds, police of Richmond and Henrico county are searching: for the assailant.

When 1 started down the steps, he opened the door and fired at ipe. “He hit me in the right side. I fired at him. I don’t know whether I hit him. I crawled up the steps and got to jny room. I fired my pis tol out of" the window to get the neighbors’ attention. When they came I asked them to telephone to Richmond for the officers and the ambulance. The police came prompt ly. “They took Mrs. Haskins and the boy to the hospital in the ambu lance. I came after in a car. The! Negro’s name is Sylvester, about 18 or 19 years old. I can’t give any1 reason at all for what he did. No word's passed. He must have been CF He seemed all right last night. He most have come in the house, got the double-barrel shotgun and a box of cartridges and laid in wait for us. ! He ’had been employed on the place a bo tit two years.” The Negro was calm after his ar rest and not reluctant to talk. Yet, he told varying stories as * to the reason for the shooting. Apparent ly, there was none, unless the Negro 1 had been brooding over some minor differences with his employer and Mrs. Haskins. At first hr* said he had lain in his bed during Friday night and planned the murder. Then, he said, he was seized with an impulse to use the gun, just as Mrs. Haskins entered the kitchen of the home, where he was waiting for the fire to burn up. Another story he told was that he had become dissatisfied with work ing at the place, but, though he had threatened several times to seek other employment, was always “forced" by his employer to return. This last story he told his counsel, Charles W. Moss, who visited him at the jail yes terday. i To Sergeant Cousins the Negro told the story as follows: j Story of Shooting j “I got up yesterday morning at’ 5:30 A. M. and went to the kitchen j to make a fire. I pulled all the cur-| tains down in the kitchen. I got, behind the kitchen cabinet and wait ed for Mrs. Haskins to come down! stairs. When she came down I shot' her. Then I ran around in the front | of the house and shot the rest of them. I don’t know whether I hit them or not. I had three shells in the gun. “One Sunday in May Mrs. Haskins had a man at the house whose name was Miller. She cooked some meat that day. Later members of the fam ily left the house, leaving me there to wash the dishes, and put things away. Before leaving Mrt. Haskins told me not to eat any of the meat I washed the dishes and read the ’ pafier after they had gone. Then I went out in the yard and left the door open. 1 Two dogs got in the kitchen and' ate the meat. I wanted to show it to j Mrs. Haskins when she came back, but Miller (the other man who had come to the house) insisted on cut-1 ting the meat. He said h<* would tell • 1 her how it disappeared when she re turned. t “When Mrs. Haskins came back she jumped on me about the meat. • Shf» also jumped on me about not pay’ng a bill. ' “That morning (the morning of the shooting) I lay in wait for her, and something told me to kill her. I shot Mrs. Haskins first, then I shot at her daughter and son next, and then I shot Mr. Grimmell. “A man came up in a car after the shooting, but I did not shoot him. I left the gun in the kitchen. Later I cot my c'.othe3 and rode away on a horse. “Sometime later I caught a street car and came to Richmond, going down tr 17i:h Street ” (Continued on page 8) ! _ i . 1 ' Rev. George L. Rollins. D.
