Within the past two months there have been at least
two Negroes killed by the people who are sworn to protect
them as well as the rest of the populace. Innocent or guilty,
in either case witnesses state that neither of these men
should have been killed. They were killed by Policemen
and at the time of murders (that is the. name for it) neither
of the policemen’s life was in danger. But to add insult to
injury, official Portland exonerated the killers without a
coroners inquest or trial of any kind.
Needless to say that on no account would these mur­
ders not have been investigated had these men been white.
But, solely because they were Negroes nothing was said or
done about either killing. It is time for the Colored popu­
lation of Oregon to start action that will prevent a recur­
rence of this sort of thing. One minister, a Rev. George W.
Brown who was practically unknown hereabouts took it
upon himself to speak for the good of all Negroes. His
actions caused societies, organizations and clubs of the white
race to bring a demand for a coroner’s inquest into the
killing of Irwin Jones in Guilds Lake on August 21st. The
Negro Race in Portland has done almost nothing to help
this man in his endeavor to bring about some kind of
justice.
The members of the Police Department be they Regulars
or of the Guard and Patrol Unit who kill needlessly are
as much MURDERERS as anyone else who kills. They
should be tried and when found guilty given a sentence in
the Penitentiary or the Gas Chamber the same as any other
citizen. It is time to rid the community of these “Gun
Weilders”. You can do your part.
A committee visited the District Attorney to see if it
was possible to have the state pay the expenses of the re­
turn of Mrs. Jones and family from their home in Louis-
anna. Following the killing of her husband Mrs. Jones left
Oregon. It will be necessary to have Mrs. Jones here to
hold a coroner’s inquest. The District Attorney said that he
would put the m atter before the proper authorities. Write
to the Governor of this state, Governor Earl Snell and ask
him to authorize sending for these people. Write to Mayor
Earl Riley and ask him to interceed for the good of the
Negro population.
Now is the time to act before more innocent people are
killed, remember, YOU may be the next victim.
