enter three suits against Drlggs, one for the Blaclc star Llnajont
for the U. N. I. A., and one for himself. He says that Brings ha:

trueo ofcpuree the harn has b?sn done and Briggs can do lots mor<
stop Briggs and I would suggest that your office see that this

Eegardlng Carrey's trip to the V^est Indies d-uring 1921 , Crichlow states
that the fomer freely discussed it with hia prior to leavine the country, and .
rtille they were both travelling around the U.S. visitins different divisions of

financially for the Black Star Line at the tine and that a crash was Irainent.
that should anything happen he could claim ignorance hecause of his ahsence.
This is prohahly true, for I have received information from several sources durig
the past week that Garvey's defense in this case, so far as It refers to the
"Capt. Jorlma CockTram, '^ul 117, 12tf St, Very TalTtfibXo person,

so ouu of -cheir own kind. You say we all worsnip the sai:::e God. Thr.t
is true, out they have urou::,ht God down to look like zln.cz: and we are
ihR only fit to ta^ce on tne countenance or another God. God is a
spiritual oeinf:, you unaerstr.na tnat, out sooetiEes we nave to paint
objects to fit ourselves. xne wnite nian knows there is no wnite God
and the yellow E:an xnov.-s there is no yeliow God, but in order to focus
on their cental visions an iria/re of God, they imacrine him as looking
like tnen] and we ha.d no betier sense tnen to accept the otner feiiov;'s
physical God, Let us aake Goa wnite just for arr;iL-r,ent s sake, suppose
.
we liave a white God over tne millions of v/nite rolks over here, vhat
would oe uhat God's business out to look alter tne affairs or tnese
millions or white folks, so the best tning we could do would be to c^t
us a Dlack God to pray to. Of course we all know tnat God is not
physical, God is spiritual, we siirply want to acstroy tnat propaganda
that God is a v.hite v.p.rt, God is -a loving, merciful, spiritual beln,c,
loving black as well as white, tnat is the God we have "'accepted.

2305 Seventh Avenue
Dear Sir:
born, 7;ho ars r>:oved and actuated by intense hatred against the
white race. These undesirables continually proclaim that all
white people are enemies to the Negro, They have become so fan-
atical that they have threatened and attempted the death of their
opponents, actually assassinating in one instance.
Eason says he knew the men who shot him were directed to do
so. Insomuch, however, as the assassination of Mr. Eason removes
a federal witness, we suggest' that the Federal Goverr-ment probe
into the facts and ascertain v/nether Eason was assassinated as the
result of a.n interstate conspiracy emanating from fJew York.
For th'-3 uliove reas:in" v;e advocate that the Attorney General
use his full lr.""iuenc- completely to extirpate this vicious move-
ment, and that he vigoroi.TjIy and speedily push the Government's
case agairiot :.:arou:; Garvey for using the maila to defraud. When
convicu'od v;o ur,;,. th^'.t h:: '..: ::-evr:*cly punirhe:!. This last should
bo done in the interest of justice; even as a matter of practical
exx)ed:).cncy

The government should note that the Garvey follov/ers are for
the tr.ojt part votoles3--"being either largely unnaturalized or re-
fr-ainins from voting 'bGcaus'S Garvey teaches that they are citizen
of an African Republic. On the othor hand, hosts of citizen
votors, Tooth v/hite 3.n5. colored, earnestly desire the vigorous pro
ecution of this case.

ilorsover, since in its basic law the very Constitution of
the U. iT. I, A. --the organization condones and encourages crime,
its future i^^cetings should be carefully v;atched by officers of

Dear Sir:
"I had been speaking at Bethany and was on my vray home vihen
three men rushed out at me from an. alley. I saw their faces and
(pointins at Dyer and Shakespeare) I am positive that these tv/o
men here are t7/o of the three."
Eason says he know the men who shot him were directed to
do 60. Insomuch, however, as the assassination of Mr. Eason re-
moves a federal witness, we suggest that the Federal Government
probe into the facts and ascertain whether Eason was assassinated
as the result of an interstate conspiracy emanating from New
York. It is significant that the U. IT. I. A. has advertised in
Its organ, "The ITegro World/' the raising of a defense fvtnd for
those indicted for the murder, seemingly in accordance with its
constitution.
7 •- -- -
' -
—
For the above reasons 770 advocate that the Attorney Gcfneral
us© his full influsnce completely to disband and extirpate this
vicious movement, and that he vigorously and speedily push the
Government's case against Marcus Garvey for using the mails to
defraud. This should be done in the interest of justice; even as
a matter of practical expediency.
The Government should note that the Garvey followers are for
—
the most 'cart voteless being cither largely unnaturalized or re-
fraining from voting -because Garvey teaches that they are citizens
of an African Republic, He has f;!:reatly e::aggerated the actvial
membership of his organisation, 77hich is conservatively estiratad
to be much less than 20,000 in all countries, including the United
States and Africa, the west Indies, Central and South America.
(The analysis of Garvey's r:o:nfcership has been made by W. A.
Domingo, a highly intelligent \7est Indian from Jamaica, Garvey's
home, in "The Crusader" magazine, Nev7 Yorlc City; also by Dr,
V7. E. B. DuBois, a vrell knc7;n social statistician, in "The Century
Magazine," February, 1923, lle^ York City), On the other hand,
hosts of citizen voters, native born and naturalized, both white
and colored, earnestly desire the vigorous prosecution of this
case.
—
Moreover, since in its basic law the very Constitvition of
the U, JT. I, A. --the organization condones and encourages crime,
its future meetings should be carefully vratched by officers of the
law and infractions promptly and severely punished.

JaclcBon Ave. and freely mingled rlth aembers of the organization
talked of the murder of Eason and they all seem to thinK that a
good deed had been done. In discussing the case with Robinson,
who seems to b'* possessed of more facts than anyone el?e,h'=^ seI-?.,

Agent Amos and the writer went to Police Headquarters and talked
the natter over with ileut. Gegan and Inspector Coughlan. The
latter advised us that Ramus (or Jeffries) was indicted in New York
County during April, 1921 for Attempted Larceny in the 1st degree.

then ordered Xieut. Gegsa to communicate with the Detroit police end
have them pick Jeffries up on ^he Hew York charge and held for
extradition:.

man without hail. Certainly ilarcus Garvey would make every effort
to prevent the return of Jeffries to New York and Agents felt that

About beiiig unscrupulous -.-^-jid a demagogue, we need pay no
attention because the very villip ; who wrote such a letter are bet-
ter able to interpret unscrupuiiU aness and demagogy than anyone
else, in tli.it they seem to know nf'.n-i: about it, but when it romes to
the point of '"Marcus Garvey asjiduously ^seeking to spread among
KegvOi:s cli-triK-t jjud hatre.l foil al! white people," it is time for
the v.liitv anu black races to rej!i::c the truth about tliC Universal
Negro Improvcnien'L A~?OL-iatioii and its President.At no time has
the President of the Universal Xegro Improvement Ass^^ciation
preaclied h.rarca of liiu white pcoi;le. That in itself is a violation of
the cor.5titL:t;on of the organization, v.-hich teaches all its members
to love and respect the rights of r"= races, believing that by so doing,
other? will in turn love and respect our rights-
2yed that the Ku Kiux. Klan is a white organization and stands for
white supremacy, so tliat Garvey would be illogical and foolish if
on the, one hand lie [ireachcd ill feeling and hatred between the two
