PUT TRUST IN THE LORD.
Wove! Defenie Made by a Colored Hm
Aaawerlng lo the Charge
of Theft.
Last winter when I went south for
ni} health,” said Col. L. S. Brown, of the
j railway, who, according to the
Washington Star, always has a good
•lory in stock, ”1 was told they were
going to try a colored man for stealing
a quantity of raw cotton, and when the
hour arrived I went up to the court
house to hear the case. The prisoner
was a man about 40 years of age, and
he had elected to plead his own case.
The prosecution proved that the bag
of cotton was found in the colored man’a
cabin, and the property wras fully Iden
tified as belonging to the owner of a
I compress. The prisoner asked no ques- i
' tlons, but said he wanted to make a
j statement and rest his case ‘wid de
Lawd.’ After awhile he was given an
opportunity to speak and said:
“‘I was gwlne by dat compress at
i ’leben o’clock last night when a voice
dun called out to me: 'Hold on, dar,
Abraham Jones. Yo’ was a pore man,
an’ ye’ Jest take 'long dis bag o’ cotton
to buy yo’ some shoes fur cold weath
er.’ Den de bag fell at my feet, an’ I
i dun took it home.’
" ‘Did you recognize the voice?’ said
the Judge.
“ ‘No, sah; but I reckon it waa an
j angel who spoke.’
“ 'Thea why did you hide the bag
when you got home?’
“ ‘Well, sah, jest as I got frew de gate
i another voice dun told me dat I’d bet
ter hide de cotton for a few days.’
“ ‘Did yo* recognize that voice?’
‘ 'No, sah; but I dun reckon it was a
voice from heben.'
" ‘And that’s your defense, is it?'
“‘Yes, sah. I’ze willin’to rest dis case
in de Lawd’s hands. De Lawd He dun
knows I nebber stole dat cotton.’
“ ‘Hadn’t you better have a lawyer?'
suggested the judge, with something
like a smile on his Pace.
“ ‘I reckon not, sah. I'ze been gwlne
to church fur de las fo’ty y’ars, an’ I’ze
rest!#’ dls case right in de hands ob de
Lawd.’
" ‘Then I shall have to give you four
months in jail, Abraham.’
" ‘Huh, what fur?’
“ ‘For stealing that cotton.’
"The prisoner received his sentence
* without a word, seeming to have ex-;
j pected it, and was presently led away,
i Two weeks later I met him on the streets
of a town 50 miles away and said to him:
"’Abraham, I thought you were in
Jail over at Selma?’
“ ‘Yes, 6ah, I was,’ he replied.
f ‘And I remember you put your casa
fn the hands of the Lord ?’
“ ‘ ’Deed, but I did, sah, an’ I cum out
all right.’
“ ‘But you got four months.’
“ ‘So I did, sah—so I did, but arter
serving nine days ob de time de Lawd
showed me how to dig outer dat jail,
an’ yer I jun an’ dey won’t nebber git
ne agin.’ _
