RIGHTING A SERIOUS WRONG
It is pretty serious business to ac
cuse a man, white or black, of deliber
ately refusing to save a human life.
The coroner’s jury which recently
brought in a verdict censuring Fire
Company No. 11 for the part it
played—or did not play, as was al
leged—in the tragic blaze which
caused the death of Mrs. Malmberg,
apparently acted far too hastily or
else with some animus.
In either case this jury would ap
pear to be at fault for something
more than snap judgment or racial
prejudice should certainly be back of
such an accusation.
The witnesses who testified be
fore the coroner’s jury also testified
before the city commission Monday
afternoon, in the official investigation
of the conduct of the boys of No. 11.
Not, one iota of evidence was found
to support the assertions that the
Colored firemen refused to attempt to
rescue the unfortunate woman who
lost her life in the Evans street con
flagration.
It was freely stated in the course
of this official investigation, and by
the white captain of another com
pany, that certain members of the
coroner’s jury were professed enemies
of the Colored company.
The Colored firemen were quickly
exonerated, but it is unfortunate that
Commissioner Butler could not legal
ly have his wish gratified, that the
members of the coroner’s jury be
asked to explain how they arrived at
their verdict.—Editorial, World-Her
ald, Sept. 27.
