Brothers of Officers Slayer Lynohed

Boyce, La, June 2.-Mob fury
aroused three weeks ago with the
Shaving of Deputy Sheriff j. Frank
Phillips by William 'Blackman,, Ne
gro, who in turn was slain by. a
squad of officers accompanying
Phillips, broke loose anew today, re-
sulting in Lee and Dave, brothers
of Blackman, being seized from the
custody of Rapides Parish officers
and their bodies riddled with bull

The lynching occurred five miles

the Vernon Parish Jail at Leesvllle

Negroes Leave Jail.
Anticipating that the Leesville
Jail would be stormed, Sheriff Turn,

ouested Sheriff Downs to send Tor
his prisoners and move them to a
safer place. Three Rapides OFFICERS
Immediately were dispatched to
Leesville and left with the Black
man brothers for Shreveport short

The deputies reported to Sheriff
Downs today that as they nearea
Boyce, en- route to Shreveport with
their prisoners, the road was block
ed by an automobile and their car
was surrounded by more than. a
score of armed men who demanded
custody of the prisoners. After tax
ing the Negroes from the car, the
deputies said they were told TO
drive on. They were less than 5OO
yards away when a volley of shots
was fired into the Negroes bodies:
From Boyce, the deputies summoned
Sheriff Downs and the coroner, both
of whom announced a vigorous In,
vestigation into the case would
be made.
Search For Liquor.
Deputy Phillips was a member OF
a squad sent to search the Black
man premises for liquor when he
was slain. Hardly had William
Blackman fired the fatal shot at
the officer from the doorway of his
residence before he was mortally

"The evil incident to invasion OF

Brandeis held, sis far greater than
that involved in tampering with the
mails. AS a means of espionage

Justice Holmes, after saying that
Justice Brandeis had exhaustively
covered the case, added:
at is desirable that criminals
should be detected, and to that end
all available evidence should be used.
1t also is desirable that the Govern
ment should not itself foster and pay
for other crimes, when they are the

Government should play an ignoble

In his dissent Justice Butler con-
tended:
"This Court has always construed
the Constitution in the light of the
principles upon which it was found

We have no doubt that Chief JUS

live long enough to rue the day that
he wrote that opinion and urged his
associates to join with him in up
setting one of the most sacred rights
conferred upon American citizens by
that beacon star, the lighthouse OF
hope, the fundamental rock upon
which the Republic was founded and
is supposed to be as sacred in legls

the Negroes had been spirited away.
Seven houses on the Blackman farm
were burned during the night.
Sheriff Downs said he would center
his investigation into the lynching
on the manner in which members
of the mob obtained their informa-
ton that the Negroes were to be
transferred from Leesville to Shreve-
port, the message having come by
telephone from Sheriff Turner to
the Rapides Parish Jail.
