they represented "a scheme to get
you back there to do violence to
you" Mr.. Southland volunteers to
come north and appear before Gov
ernor Smith of New York to argue
against extradition of Mr.. White
should extradition be demanded by
Governor Mcleod. Mr.. Southland
writes to Mr.. White: "You started
the work and that is what they do
not want and they know that the
world will know the guilty ones and
that is another thing that they do
not want"
2. A sworn affidavit has been sent
to the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, at
60 Fifth Ave-, signed by J. Murray
Lane, a white man who was in court
when Demon Lowman was acquitted
and Immediately afterward saw
claw enforcement" officers Juggling
around the JAIL" clearing away auto
mobiles. The affidavit in full reads
as follows:
South Carolina, Aiken County.
Personally appeared before me j.
MURRAY LANE, sworn says, That
on the afternoon and evening of Oc-
tober 7, 1925, Immediately after
Demon Lowman had been declared
Not Guilty in Court of General Ses-
sions at Aiken I was in and around
Aiken Court House at Aiken, S. c.,
That Policeman Jas. Woodward came
out and ordered all cars to move out
from around the Jail and school
house. I saw juggling around the
Jail by the officers, Nollie Robinson,
A. D. Sheppard, Pink Gaddy, Ed An
drews, and some others, some I did
not know. ALI of them appeared very
SORE and MAD. This was between
shutdown and dark, right after court
adjourned. I went on home and did
not know that the three Lowmans
had been taken from the Jail and
lynched until the next morning, but
sure was expecting to hear it, from
what I saw the evening before.
N. Y. World Active.
The four names mentioned in the
affidavit are among those sent to
Gov. Mcleod by Mr.. White.
8. The New York World, continu-
ing it's inquisition into the lynching,
in special dispatches published con-
spicuously on its front page, is arous-
ing the press and the entire state of
South Carolina.
In its issue of today, The World
prints kilograms from South Caro-
lima editors showing that most of the
white dailies condemn the lynching
and are demanding punishment of
the lynchers. AS sample of the
comments telegraphed to The World
by South Carolina editors, are the
following:
Pierre H. Fike, Editor Spartan
burg Journal: "The Aiken lynching
is one of the foulest blots on the
honor of South Carolina. Those
who participated in the Aiken lynch
ing know in their hearts that they
are cowardly, brutal murderers. . .
The punishment Of the guilty parties
ought to be the business of every
South Carolinian."
Charles o. Hearon, Editor Spartan
burg Herald: Every man who re-
spects law and order should demand
that the mob members be pun
ished."
R. Charlton Wright, Editor Colum-
bia Record: "The Aiken lynchings
stand out as the most ferocious and
abhorrent crimes committed in South
Carolina during the many years of
my residence here"
A number of editors, however, re-
sent "outside intrusion" and predict
there will be no convictions no mat
ter what the evidence uncovered.
