were quickly called up before the courts and fined or sent to jail upon
the statement of the police. Instances of Louisiana justice as it is
dispensed in New Orleans are here quoted from the _Times-Democrat_ of July

+Justice Dealt Out to Folk Who Talked Too Much+

All the Negroes and whites who were arrested in the vicinity of
Tuesday's tragedy had a hard time before Recorder Hughes yesterday. Lee
Jackson was the first prisoner, and the evidence established that he
made his way to the vicinity of the crime and told his Negro friends
that he thought a good many more policemen ought to be killed. Jackson
said he was drunk when he made the remark. He was fined $25 or thirty
days.

John Kennedy was found wandering about the street Tuesday night with an
open razor in his hand, and he was given $25 or thirty days.

considered a Negro as good as a white in body and soul. He was fined $25
or thirty days.

James Martin, Simon Montegut, Eddie McCall, Alex Washington and Henry
Turner were up for failing to move on. Martin proved that he was at the
scene to assist the police and was discharged. Montegut, being a
cripple, was also released, but the others were fined $25 or thirty days
each.

Eddie Williams for refusing to move on was given $25 or thirty days.

Matilda Gamble was arrested by the police for saying that two officers
were killed and it was a pity more were not shot. She was given $25 or
thirty days.

+INSOLENT BLACKS+

morning in a way that they will remember for a long time, and all of them
were before the magistrate for having caused trouble through incendiary
remarks concerning the death of Captain Day and Patrolman Lamb."

"Lee Jackson was before the recorder and was fined $25 or thirty days. He
was lippy around where the trouble happened Tuesday morning, and some
white men punched him good and hard and the police took him. Then the
recorder gave him a dose, and now he is in the parish prison."
