Dred Scott Decision Is
Revived BY Recent
Case In Michigan

(By The Associated Negro Press
New York, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Walter F.
White, assistant secretary of the N. A.
A. c. p, gave the following interview
for the Associated Negro Press on the
case of Tom Ray, colored, of Wilkin-
son county, Georgia, whose extradition
to Georgia for trial on a charge of
murder the association is fighting.
Ray is at present in custody in the
Wayne county Jail, Detroit, Michigan.
Tom Ray, in self defense killed a
white man named Faulkner" said Mr..
White, 'in Wilkinson county, Georgia,
after Faulkner had several times made
attempts on Rays life. Ray escaped
to Canada, later returning to Detroit,
where he was arrested.
Governor Sleeper of Michigan
granted extradition to the Georgia au-
thorities for Ray, although the last
Negro for whom he granted extradi.
ton was lynched twelve hours after
he had arrived in Kentucky
Attorneys Willis and Hinton and
Attorney w. Hayes Mckinney, acting
for the Detroit branch of the N. A. A.
c. P, Immediately applied for a writ
of habeas corpus. A hearing on this
was held before Judge Hunt in De-
troit on Wednesday, October 13.
Judge Hunt granted the writ, but Ray
was Immediately re-arrested when
Georgia officials wired that an indict-
ment was being forwarded.
"a new hearing was held before
Governor Sleeper on the Indictment
on Wednesday, October goth. | testi-
fed at that time as an investigator OF
lynchings and as one of the compilers
of Thirty Years of Lynching," show
ing that if Ray were taken back to
the state of Georgia he would not only
fail to receive a fair trial but would
very probably be lynched Immediately
upon his return.
In spite OF the facts presented Gov
ernor Sleeper said he saw no reason
why Ray should not lie returned The
attorneys for Ray Immediately ap-
piled for a new writ of habeas corpus
and in the event that that fails the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People will take the
case to the federal court.
''This case" said Mr.. White in con-
clusion, "ought to be of especial in
terest to eolored people of the United
States as it may establish precedent
in the denial of 'extradition to South
ern states where Negroes accused of
crime are lynched or denied justice. y

THE NEGRO
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
(Reprint from Chicago American)
Out of the wilderness, out of the night,
Has the black man crawled to the dawn of light;
Beaten by lashes and bound by chains,
A beast of burden with soul and brans
He has come thro' sorrow and need and woe,
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know.
You took his freedom and gave it again.
But grudged you gave it, ye white+faced
Not all of freedom is being free,
And dangerous plaything is liberty
For untaught children.
In vain do say
I'VE gave what he asked for-place and pay
And right of franchise" All wrong all wrong
He was but child to be led along
BY the hand of Love. Has he felt its touch?
Nay, you gave unwisely and gave too much,
But you gave not the things that his cropping mind
Was reaching up in the dark to find
They were Love and knowledge
Oh, infinite
Must be the patience that hopes to right
The wrongs that are heavy with age and brought
To the levels of virtues by mortal thought
And greater than patience must be the trust
In the ultimate outcome of what is just
And in and under and through and above
Must weave the warp of purpose-Love.
Red with anguish his way has been,
This suffering brother Of dusky skin,
For centuries fettered and bound to earth,
Slow his unfolding to freedoms birth,
Slow his rising from burden and ban
To fill the stature of normal man
You must give him his wings you tell him to fly,
You must set the example and bid him try.
Let the white man pay for the white mans crime
Let him work in patience and bide Gods time.
Out of the Wilderness out of the night
Has the black crawled to the dawn of light
He has COM through the valley of great despair
He has borne what white can bear.
He has come through and pain and woe,
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know.
