ANOTHER SOUTHERN OUTRAGE.
A Negro Kicked From a Moving- Train
Gets Big: Damages.
Shreveport, La., March 7.—As
Senators Ingalls, Chandler and others
of their class seem to have devoted
their energies to the ferreting out of
“Southern outrages,” so called, apd
publishing to the world their miracu-lous
finds, I desire to report one of
the most aggravated outrages ever
perpetrated in the South.
In October, 1888, a conductor o.)
one of the railways entering Shreve-port,
La., kicked from a train moving
at the rate of 30 miles per hoar, a
young negro, who, the conductor
thought was trying to beat his way for
a few miles on” the line, but was wil-ling,
when detected in the attempt, to
pay his fare. In falling from the train
the negro sustained the fracture of a
leg and arm, and, being unable to walk,
laid where he had fallen from 8 o’clock
at night until 11 o’clock of the next
day, when a chance passer-by found
and took charge of him.
This is a genuine “Southern out-rage,”
but I fear Messrs. Ingalls,
Chandler et al. cannot make the use
of it which would serve their purpose
best when I state that the conductor
was a white republican from Chicago,
111. The victim of this “Sorthern out-rage,”
after lying for six months in
the Shreveport Charity Hospital, a
democratic institutian, free to white
and black alike, and after being at-tended
daily by democratic white
doctors, whose services are given free
of charge to the inmates thereof,
finally recovered sufficiently to “hob-ble
around” to the office of a demo-cratic
lawyer to seek legal aid and ad-vice
looking to the recovery of dam-ages
from the railway company. His
lawyers filed suit against the company,
claiming $15,000 for injuries sus-tained
by their client, and after the
delays incident to the law,a verdict was
had at the hands of a jury awarding
this republican negro $7,500. The
worst feature of tMs horribie outrage,
however, remains to be told, and I dis-like
very much to make the disclosure,
out of respect for the sensibilities of
the aforementioned “sentimentalists.”
But, fiat justitia, rua.t coelum! The
integrity of history must be maintain-ed
at whatever cost. The attorneys
for the railroad company, after enter-ing
a peremptory challenge to every
negro on the regular venire, and, mind
you, a venire one-half of which were
negroes, elected by democratic white
jury commissioners, finally succeeded
in securing a jury composed of twelve
good white democratic bulldozers. Af-ter
a mature consideration of the evi-dence,
elicited from the aforesaid dem-ocratic
doctors, and two or three com-panions
who were with the plaintiff at
the time the outrage was committed,
and after further hearing the law ap-plicable
to the case, as expounded by
a democratic judge, had the exceeding
bad taste to further contribute to the
consummation of the outrage by award-ing
the damages as above stated to
this republican negro plaintiff. Con-sidering
the fact that this particular
negro would have sold, in ante-bellum
times, for from $500 to $1500, it is a
little curious to know by what reason-ing
process those 12 bulldosers reach-ed
the conclusion that the loss of an
arm and leg in these latter days should
be worth $7500. The verdict of only
nine of the twelve jurors was neces-sary
to secure a judgment for the ne-gro,
and the attorneys for the railroad
company, thinking that probably a
mistake had been made, insisted on
having the jury “polled,” which Sc-tion
resulted in the further outrage,
that the sentiment of the entire 12
was unanimous in the assessment of
the injury done to plaintiff at $7,500.
I regret very much that this verdict
was rendered too late for Mr. Ingalls’
use in his celebrated speech in the
United States senate, but it may ad-dress
itself to Mr. Vest as being use-ful
in his contemplated reply to the
doughty senator from Kansas. The
statement of facts herein presented,
which so amply illustrates the charac-ter
of the outrages perpetrated on the
ignorant negro in the South, can be
verified by reference to the iecords of
the district court of Bossier parish, La.,
by application to Judge Boone, of the
district court, or to any reputable cit-izen
of that parish.—Correspondence
