Facing The Judge
By Isaac Janes
It's a long way from Detroit,
to Waycross, Georgia— and the
distance seems much longer
when the trip has to be made
by thumbing rides, or other
means.
That was the problem Howard
I). Countryman found himself
facing last week when he ap
pealed before Recorder's Judge
Frank G. Schemanske on the
charge of drunkenness.
Countryman plead not guilty
to the charge.
"lour Honor.” he explained,
I had just got out of jail where
1 served 30 days lor munkness,
Vwien 1 was arrested. 1 had a
dollai in my pocket, and 1 still
have .66 cents of that money—
money—so you see, I didn’t have
the time or money to get drunk.”
Couiiliyinan continued his de
fense. “Judge, and you'll give me
a oreak, I will go back to Geor
gia, and you’ll never see me again
hi Detroit.”
"Alnght,” asserted Judge Sclic
manske, “I will sentence you to
ijo nays in jail. 1 will suspend
sentence—and you must be out
ot Detroit, and starting back to
Georgia in the next six hours”
The courtroom was miked
with laughter, when Countryman
left at lull speed.

Woodie King Reviews:
If We Must Die
BY UNIUS EDWARDS
Doubltday, 137 pp>., $2.95
Junius Edwards begins his lit
tle powerful novelette in the
style of Hemingway and ends
it in the style of Faulkner. And
that isn’t bad for him since his
action between is so violent, yet
toiu so very sottly. It is a bit
ter little story told without bit
terness.
If We Must Die is an expansion
on a short story, Liars Don't;
Qualify (Urbanite, June 19(H).
The short story also won the
Writer’s Digest award (plus a
year’s subscription). It is now
chapter two of the short novel
It shows sketches of a younj
man trying to qualify to vote
in one of our American towns,
and here, where the dialogue
is simple, Edwards shows he can
stand next to Ellison in scene |
writing The style is simple. The
dialogue is Edwards' most power
ful asset. He knows dialogue, or
rathci, he knows how to use it.
One of the most brutal scenes
I •‘in thr book shows three men
kidnapping the young hero, beat
- ing him as they try to decide
whether to kill him or let him
go after a good beating. In this
scene, the irony is that one of
the ones beating him for try
ing to vote can’t read, doesn’t
even know why he, himself voted.
The other two men can’t decide
how to kill the young man. so
they argue with each other half
the night, often they stop long
enough to beat and kick the
young man (we presume he is
Negro, Edwards never tells us
his color. This alone makes the
book exciting reading) Finally,
when the three decide on a way
to kill the young man. each of
the three are frightened out of
their wits at the thought of doing
the murder. So they simply walk
oil, leaving the young man cut
and bleeding. This scene re
minds one of Haul Olsen’s Line
of Duty (Angry Black). Jumius
Edwards’ also appeared in the
collection with Mother Dear and
Daddy
If We Must Die should be in
climbed in every library. It shows
how people, suffer because of I
ingrown prejudices: innocent
people who might not be preju
dice go hand in hand
The ending of »V book is a
kind of Faulkner "As 1 Lay Dy-j
ing." Tho young man is found
by an old farmer who unknow j
ingly, trying to help, lets the
young man bleed to death trying
to get him to salety.
