Lithuanians We Ought to Help Each Other (Trial)

Lietuva, Dec. 17, 1892

In two weeks there will be a trial of a good Lithuanian, Mr. Blauzda. Blauzda got into trouble through the hoodlums of this city.

It is known countrymen, that the law of this land is such, that a poor man without protection, even if not guilty, will rot in jail.

For this reason we are calling a mass meeting at the Hall, 634 South Canal St., at 7 P.M. We will make a protest against this trial, we will make and sign an affidavit by our good citizens, to prove that Blauzda was morally good, this will be a good weapon to his lawyer, who can help us. We have among us no rich lawyers, nor rich judges, who would protect and help us.

Let us have a big mass meeting, let us show to the world that we are people of one nation, that we understand the statutes - trials of this land.

Brothers, listen to the appeal of this innocent man, come and extend your hand to our sinking brother.

The editor of "Lietuva" cordially invites all brother Lithuanians to help us, by giving us your brotherly love, which in the near future will prevail among us.
