Kettles Says He Was Taken From Ills Home By Black Man And
 Whipped By White

Mobile, Dec. 15--(Special) )--Sonny Kettles. a negro. residing at osierfield, in Conecuh county. told tale to United States District Attorney W. H. Armbrecht today that sounds like the night rider stories of Kentucky
 Kettles claims that he was decoyed away from his home last Friday night by a negro man to dark spot, where he was grabbed by three white men. who took off his clothes and whipped him with a blow line. The negro said that he was afterwards imprisoned In an old cotton house and only managed to escape through his alertness. He came on to Mobile and reported the case.
 The Federal official Informed the negro who was accompanied by three of his relatives that he had no juris- diction and referred him to the sheriff of Conecuh county.
 Kettles claims that he was whipped because he did not pay for some pic lures of les relatives that he had enlarged. They gave the name of the negro who they claim was used as the decoy to get sonny Kettles out of the house as Jesse Starks and also claimed that they knew the names or the three white men.
 Calvin Kettles, who was with Net ties on his visit to the district attor- ney's, office said that Sam Kettles. another brother. when he went to the men to pay them for the pictures, was struck in the head and guns placed fD his face and told that 1t was not money that was wanted, but the negro.
 The Kettles family left the city this afternoon for Evergreen, supposedly to report the case to the sheriff.
