Pittsburg. Pa, Feb. 2.-Governor
John X Tener will make one more
attempt to bring to justice the men
who participated in the lynching Of
Jack Walker. the negro who was
burned at the stake in vacant lot
In CoatesvilIe. Pa last August. The
governor has instructed deputy at
tOrney general J. E. 3. Cunningham
Of Pittsburg. who is in charge Of the
prosecution. TO go before tie supreme
court Monday morning and present a
request that the lynching cases be
taken out Of the Chester courts and re-
moved to the courts OF some other
county for trial
In speaking OF this novel procedure,
Q cunningham said that the application
TO the supreme court Is not intended in
any way as a reflection upon the con
duct of the Judge of Chester county III
the previous trials. and continuing:
The race prejudice IS so strong in
Chester county that am confident that
If the recall were in force these judges
would be taken off the bench by the
electors because of their activities in
trying to put the guilty ones behind
the bars. There. seems to be a mutual
feeling in all classes Of society in
Chester county, from the highest TO the
lowest. that no white man will suffer
for the burning Of the negro"
The deputy attorney general went
on to say that it was only after a great
deal OF unnecessary delay that the
grand jury. called for the purpose OF
Investigating the crime, handed down
the indictments. He alleges the trial
