and placed In tin rotary along with the confessed robber Charles Lade another colored man NO JUSTICE FOR COLORED MAN J Last night McGee wna visited In his cell at the prison and asked what he could cay about the case Ho arose and naked I < permlecibn to rend a communl cntlort trOth his wife that the visitor had and when he hud digested the contents con-tents of the note he said No sir I think they didnt give me a fair trial and they conked It to me Just because they had the power to I feel that there Is no justice for n colored man Jn Ulah I cannot believe It t cant believe it I would have been satisfied wth about one year In the pen because there may have been something wronp about my act In the taking of Johnsons life but every good man knows that I bad rufnclont provocation and I think tha nine years is too much fOI me I donw think we will appeal the case for my attorney says I got off all right and maybe I can get pardoned In three or four years If I Im good MGEES STORY OF SHOOTING Then too I dont understand why It was that the evidence about the axe was not used My friends said that would be against me because when Johnson had the thing he wa too faraway far-away from me for it i to be reasonably supposed he was going to slay me with It The truth about that Is that he had It nnd was coming for me about twenty feet away HP struck against a post and when he turned Again I shot him and he fcll Then his wife ran out and took the knife that he had first drawn upon me from his hip pocket and threw It as far as she could My little boy fbind the knife again still open He showed It to his mother and then put It lu Mrs Johnsons house We ought to have kept that for evidence SATS HE WAS THREATENED Johnson was not tryJiK 10 open the hen coop with the axe as testified to at the trial He threatened Snc when we met at the coop Just belore the fight After I told him he coul1 luive the shed when my hens had lishchedj he ald I dont care about your hens I or anything you got I said J pvpss IOU I-OU dont from the way my wife aava i you ran it over her while I ins away Wellk what can you do about that he says and if you say one big word Ill show you Im game Thenhe drew the Icnlfe I He w Cnl after his axe to kill me and his wife stood In the door and heard everything that passed between be-tween us Now she comes Into court and swears sIte never heard a word CLAIMS JUSTIFICATION As soon as he fell she ran and tooUt the knife out of his pocket I heard several good white people among tho spectators say after the verdict was announced Well Ill be 1 I think any good citizen ought to kill men like Johnson for they malce tliu trouble and are slick enough not to get caught at It and I tell you lots of nlggcrt have been lynched In the Soulh Just on account of such as ho wh nth n-th y were Innocent When he would act that way with my wife you hot hed treat a white woman just the same 3IRS MGEES LETTER Mrs McGee wife of time prisoner sent the
