The National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People sent
to Governor r. G. Pleasant OF Louis
lana q telegram OF protest against
tho lynching OF Negro In the Court
House yard at Monroe, La. on March
16. The Associations telegram calls
attention to the fact that this is the
third protest which 1t has been COM
PEELED to make against lynchings in
Louisiana within the last six weeks
involving altogether five Negroes
lynched on three separate occasions
and that no reply to the Associations
previous requests for information or
public statement as to Louisiana s
attitude toward these lynchings had
been made by Governor Pleasant.
Similar kilograms wore sent to the
Chambers OF Commerce Of Now Or
leans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and
Monroe.
Tho telegram follows:

Hon. II. G.. Pleasant, Governor,

Louisiana proposes to take to vindi-
cate her law.
On February sixth, we addressed
you concerning tho lynching OF one
Negro, on March sixth, concerning
tho lynching OF three Negroes. No
reply has boon made to us nor have
we seen any statement In the public
press which would indicate your ap-
probation as Governor Of the State
of tho position in which Louisiana S
mob actions place the nation at this
time when national prestige abroad
demands high regard for law and Or
der at home.
Does Louisiana wish the nation
and her own thousands of colorcd
soldiers now serving their country
in the battle for democracy, TO UNI
dcrstand that she will not protect
black men accused Of crime and that
mobs may visit their vengeance up
on Negroes without let or hindrancc
by the constituted authorities Of your
State? What shall we inform the
newspapers who receive our press
service regarding Louisana's atti-
tudc?

THE CAUSE OF HER DEATH.
All witnesses were excluded from
the court room. Coroner Whitfield
was on the stand for some time and
the question as to the cause of death
was debated. The Coroner would
state only what he knew and his no
pies were of a kind to leave it open
to conjecture as to just what was the
immediate cause Of death. The cause
of this was due to the fact that other
surgeons had charge Of the case after
the shooting. Ellen Graham was sub
jcctcd to a gruelling crOss-exam;na
ton.
A TALL DARK MAN.
The mysterious part OF the affair
is The identity Of the man in the case
the man that Chris Jackson declares
he saw in a compromising position
with his wife and on whose account
she went to her death. Outside OF the
fact that he was q tall, dark man the
name Of the individual remains mys
terry and counsel did not make too
great an effort to ascertain his identi
ty. Ellen Graham swore that she did
not know his name.
