MISS MYRTISE L. JOHNSON of
The marriage of Miss G. Catherine
Moore to Leland D. Ewing, which took
place Wednesday evening at St.
Luke’s Episcopal Church was mark-
ed by unusual beauty and impressive-
ness.
The always beautiful and dignified
Episcopal double ring ceremony was
rendered even more so by the charm-
ing personalities of the youthful bride
and groom and the scene which took
place as they plighted their troth and
chanted the wedding psalm and hymns

mony was read amid softly glowing
candlelight by Father W. Bright Da-

Church, who wore the white cassock,
chasuble, and biretta which the High
Church prescribes for the wedding
service.

IN THE WILLIE C.
PETERSON CAUSE
torneys, 90 John Street, for Emmett
J. Scott of 1711 S Street, Northwest,
Washington, D. C., against W. E. B.
DuBois, editor of the Crisis, a maga-
zine publshed at 69 Fifth Avenue,
New York. This suit for libel and
slander follows the publication in The
Crisis Magazine of aa editorial sign-
ed by DuBois in April, in which in- |
sinuation and innuendo, it is alleged
libelous and slanderous statements
were made regarding the complainant,
who is the secretary-treasurer of
Howard University at Washington,
D. C.
In his complaint, as filed, Dr. Scott
charges that the defendant “malicious-
ly and wantonly composed and pub-
lished concerning the plaintiff in The
Crisis, n magazine of extensive cir-
culation throughout the United States
of America, false and defamatory
matter.”
Did Jim Watson, suicide of a few
days ago, lead a double life, maintain-
ing two homes and two wives at one
and the same time? This question
was raised following the inquest pro-
ceedings, which were held in Justice
Campbell R. Overstreet’s court after
the murder and suicide mystery.
Mrs. Lucy Watson, wife of Jim
Watson, who committed suicide here
last week and who was reported by
one of our newspapers as having kill-
ed his wife, vigorously denied at her
home yesterday that she had been kill-
ed and The Informer reporter was
forced to admit that the report of her
death did appear to be "very much ex-
aggerated.” Mrs. Watson is a quiet,
well built, and refined woman of mid-
dle age and appeared in the best of
health.
She also denied that her husband
TAXES :
NOW IN EFFECT
One of the most interesting pieces
of news to Houstonians and the rest
of the United States in general is the
fact that beginning with July 6, it
will cost 3c instead of 2c for every
letter sent through the mails; a five
per cent tax will be collected on all
radios, phonographs, or mechanical
refrigerators. Beginning June 21, 10
per cent of the cost will be added to
all cosmetics, jewelry, sporting goods,
cameras, fire arms, and furs.
Of special interest of car owners
and would be car owners is the news
that automobiles will be taxed three
per cent and accessories 2 per cent.
Four cents per gallon will be added to
oil and gasoline one cent a gallon. Al-
ready, gas in Houston is selling for
18e as compared to 10c and 11c last
summer. Tires and tubes will be pass-
from 21 to 4 cents a pound. Soft
drinks, chewing gum, and candy will
be taxed 2 per cent.
Ten cents to twenty cents will be
added to all long distance telephone
calls costing over 50c and five per
, cent will be added to telegrams. One
attending a show must pay ten per
cent extra on all tickets costing more
than 40c. All bank checks, regardless
of size, will cost 2c and an additional
ten per cent will be added to the rent
of safety deposit boxes. Three per
cent will be added to all light bills
and matches will cost 2c per thousand
extra.
The new taxes are to last at least
for the fiscal year 1932-1938 in an ef-
tort to balance the government bud-

family were marked by bands of wide
white satin ribbon.
The bride who entered on the arm
of her uncle, Geo. C. Harrison of Gal-
veston, was a picture of lovliness in
a Paris gown of heavy white satin.
The dress was cut on youthful girl-
ish lines snd was a poem of beauty
by its sheer simplicity. The dress
was made in princess fashion, semi-
fitted and featured the slime empire
waistline emphasized by a narrow belt
which ended in a small bow in the
back. The Deauville sleeves which
flared down to a very wide opening
at the wrists were trimmed with five-
inch bands of silver sequins. The
bride’s veil of fine tulle was fastened
to her head by a wreath of orange
blossoms and fell down the back form-
ing a train about four yards long.

Man Stabbed To
Death Over Woman
Birmingham, Ala.—(CN8)—Judge
Heflin overruled an appeal against
the lynch verdict condemning Willie
Peterson, unemployed Negro miner
and war veteran to die in the electric
chair.
Peterson is charged with the mur-
der of two white women on August 4
last. He was "identified” by a sister
of one of the dead women who claim-
ed she recognized Peterson’s hat.
While held in jail Peterson was shot
down in his cell by Dent Williams,
white attorney and brother of one of
the dead women. Williams was ar-
rested and released without bait He
has never been brought to trial.
At Peterson’s trial Judge Heflin in
charging the jury stated: “It ought
to take you but a few minutes to
reach a verdict.” He also declared
in his charge that this “is the most
atrocious and inhuman crime” and “if
you fail to render a verdict in this
case you will not do your duty” and
“you’ve got no right to be chicken-
hearted in a case of this kind."

MAYOR TO SEEK
VOTE FOR NEGRO
AT CONVENTION
The following article appeared in
the San Antonio News, June 21, 1932:
A resolution to be submitted to the
democratic national convention in Chi-
cage next week “inviting every citizen,
regardless of color, creed or religion,
to take part in all elections, is plan-
ned by Mayor Chambers.
The mayor announced his intention
of submitting the resolution either in
committee or on the convention floor
in a brief statement this morning.
“If a few Texas politicians continue
to try to evade the decision of the
United States Supreme Court holding
that Negroes are entitled to vote in
all elections” he declared, "I shall sub-
mit to the democratic national con-
vention a resolution inviting every
citizen regardless of color, creed or re-
ligion to take part in all elections.

his country in time of war,” the may-
or continued, "pays his taxes and
After being held in the morgue here
for several days ,the body of an un-
identified colored man, about 28 years
of age, who was killed by a train
Monday, June 8, was buried in the
County Cemetery.
The dead man’s head had been burst
open by the train and his shoulders
mangled. The body was found near
Milepost 18 on the Santa Fe Railroad.
It is not known whether the man was
riding on the train and went to sleep
and fell off, or whether he was struck
by the train as he attempted to cross
the track or whether he was attempt-
ing to catch the train. The body was
found on the rightaway of the south-
bound train. It had apparently been
dragged about 15 feet before it fell
away from the train.
An inquest was conducted by Jus-
tice of the Pesce Campbell R. Over-
street. Nothing was found on the
body nor were there any papers or
other marks of identification.
BANDITS WITH SMUTTED
FACES KILL GROCERMAN
Fayetteville, N. C.—(CNS)—A. C.
Willis, 63, died in the Highsmith Hos-
pital here last week from wounds in-
flicted when his Ramsey Street gro-
cery store was held up Saturday by
three * sen with smutted faces.
Following the death of Ransom
Lewis in Jefferson Davis Hospital
Tuesday as a result of stab wounds, a
preliminary hearing was held before
Justice of the Peace Campbell R.
Overstreet and Dan Curtis, 3305 Clay
Avenue, was ordered held for murder.
Curtis was reported to police to have
been one of the last persons to see
Lewis alive before he entered the hos-
pital fatally cut.
Curtis readily admitted when ap-
prehended by Lieutenant Payne of
the homicide squad that he had struck
the dead man with a knife, but stated
that he was forced to do so in defense
of himself and that he did not know
that he had cut him so severely.*
Information gained by The Inform-
er reporter was to the effect that bad
blood had been brewing between Cur-
tis and Lewis, life long friends, for
the past six or seven months over the
attention of a woman, Miss Nee B.
Davis. Miss Davis and Curtis lived
together at 3305 Clay Avenue, and
this arrangement seemed to have dis-
pleased Lewis, who presisted in his
attentions to the woman, which dis-
pleased Curtis.
On the night of the fatal cutting,
Curtis and Miss Davis left their home
to attend a party at the home of Mrs.
Rachel Severe on Paige Street, be-
tween Dallas and Lamar. An argu-
ment ensued over a card game when
Lewis is said to have insisted that
Miss Davis be his partner instead of
Curtis’ partner. Lewis is said to have
been drinking heavily. Following the
words over the woman, Curtis left to
go home and Miss Davis accompanied
him.
She stated that as they walked
along, Curtis told her that all a man
needed to do was to get a little whis-
key in him and he would tell every-
thing he knew and that Lewis had
told him a plenty about her. By this
time, the couple had reached Dallas
Street. The woman turned around
and went back to the party saying
that she was going to get Lewis and
find out what he had said about her.
When she questioned Lewis, he denied
that he had said anything to Curtis
concerning the woman. Lewis and
the woman then left the house togeth-
er to catch up with Curtis and prove
whether anything had been said or
had not been said. They came up on

lived on Liberty Road, where he shot
himself as had been reported, but de-
clared that he had lived with her dur-
ing all their married life which be-
gan some years ago and that they
have lived at her present residence,
1403 O'Neil, for several years.
Later it was pointed out that the
woman whom Watson killed just be-
| fore he shot himself was Mrs. Cealie
McDonald, wife of John McDonald,
who resided at 4718 Liberty Road.
Mrs. Watson said that she did not
know of Mrs. McDonald and had never
heard of her before, and that Jim
Watson had always been kind and du- .
tiful to her. She was almost pros-
trate over his tragic death.
However, Mrs. Velma Smith, Mrs.
McDonald’s niece, who lived near her,
stated that Watson and Mrs. McDon-
ald had been living together as man
and wife for more than ten years, but
that she did not know whether they
were lawfully married or not.
Mrs. Watson stated that on the
night of the murder and suicide, her
husband came to her after supper
and told her he had to go out for a
little while, but would be back before
late. He kissed her and left the house
and she never saw him alive again.
However, according to Ambros and
Velma Smith, the dead man was with
their aunt as much as he would be ex-
pected to be at home. They both
stated that they thought nothing un-
usual as Jim Watson started down the
road with their aunt, who was crying
and who told him: “I won’t do it.
You’ll just have to kill me, that’s all.”
What was it that Jim Watson want-
ed Mrs. McDonald to do that was so
distasteful that she refused, choosing
desth instead?
That question will never be answer-
ed for the two bullets which Watson
fired shortly after he left his friends
did their work well.
Did Watson ask Mrs. McDonald to
give him up so that he could spend
the rest of his life in peace with his
wife? No one knows.
Meanwhile, in widely separated
spots, Watson’s in Trinity, Texas, and
Mrs. McDonald’s in Oak Park Ceme-
tery, the bodies of these two were
being consigned at the same time to
the healing arms of Mother Earth,

TO DAYS OUTING
The Houston chapter of Omega Psi
Phi fraternity very lavishly and de-
lightfully entertained their wives,
families and guests on “Juneteenth”
with a picnic at the ranch of Hon. Y.
U. Jones, near Thompson.
At 8 o’clock, the main motocade
moved off from Jack Yates High
School, a long line of cars filled with
a jolly, happy bunch. However, un-
til the end of the picnic day was
reached, about 6:30, every few min-
utes brought additional guests eager
to partake of Omega hospitality.
Everyone found something to his
liking for amusement. A full fledged
baseball team was organized while the
day was young and it proved its worth
by playing standard, nine-inning base-
ball. Swimming, fishing and rowing
were also enjoyed by the nautically
inclined.
At 2:30 o'clock, an old fashioned
barbecue dinner was served, consist-
of barbecued chicken and barbecued
beef, potato salad and pickles, lemon-
ade, ice cream and cake. This was
perhaps the most popular event of the
day, no one but Misses Lillian Meeks
and Signora Jane Howard expressing
their regrets and refusing to partake
because they were on a diet.
After dinner, the various activities
were resumed, and when the picnic
finally ended, everyone had enjoyed
a very pleasant "Juneteenth.”
