:: “ Suppose that a sheriff were faced with the choice either of framing a Negro for a rape that had aroused hostility to the Negroes ( a particular Negro generally being believed to be guilty but whom the sheriff knows not to be guilty )— and thus preventing serious anti-Negro riots which would probably lead to some loss of life and increased hatred of each other by whites and Negroes — or of hunting for the guilty person and thereby allowing the anti-Negro riots to occur, while doing the best he can to combat them.
