OPENS IN STRIKE
DEATH TRIAL
Entire Economic Struggle of

in Gastonia Case.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Aug. %. -
Sixteen textile strikers moved one
step nearer to the electric chair,
prison or freedom today as selection
Of the jury 10 try them in connec-
ton with the alleged murder Of
Chief of Police Aderholt of Cas-
tonia, vas begun.
The regular panel Of fifteen jury
men was exhausted before noon and
attorneys then will begin the ardu-
Gus task of questioning a special
panel Of 200 ordered drawn by the
court.
Defense counsel. who have 1853
challenges, expressed the opinion
the entire 200 names would be ex-
hausted and another panel drawn
before the twelve men, who are to
try the strikers have finally been
approved.
Long Fight Over jury
An interesting popularity of
southern court procedure is that
after counsel for both sides have
accepted the jury, each defendant
will be given an opportunity per-
sonalIy to express his likes or dis
likes to the men selected.
Should one Of the prisoners ex-
press a dislike for juror selected,
the juror is excused and by the same
token if juror expresses a dislike
for any defendant the juror is ex-
cused.
That the entire economic struggle
Of recent years in the south will be
injected into the trial .jecame
definite today.
By a ruling of Judge M. v. Barn
hill the state will be restricted to
presentation of evidence bearing on
the actual murder of Police Chief
Aderholt in GaStonia, for which
crime the prisoners are charged, and
on the charge that the strikers had
conspired to keep the police away
from their headquarters by force.
The defense, however, will be per-
mitted to show the state of mind OF
the workers that led them to Or
ganize and precipitate the strike at
the Loray mills in Gastonia, one
of the events leading up to the
Aderholt shooting, according to DR..
John R. Neal, chief defense attor-
ney.
Secrecy on Defense Plans
Defense counsel have maintained
strictest secrecy regarding their
plans, but Neal told the United Press
the human issue of the present case
would be one of the most vital in
the trial.
Defense attorneys spent most OF
Tuesday questioning state witnesses
"a court procedure permitted by
the laws of the state. Under these
laws the prosecution is obliged to
submit to the defense a complete
list of its witnesses, who, however,
are not compelled to answer leading
questions on advice of counsel.
Newspaper men are not permitted
TO be present when the witnesses
are questioned.

A NATURAL SEGREGATION.

"There is a natural segregation of
tho two races in their social and
racial integrity which we are com
mitted to preserve for what we De
lieye TO be the best interests OF hotn
races. That is a higher loyalty that
we do not argue-we simply assume.
II is the unwritten law or every
southern community and in the
main is carried out with splendlo
understanding on the part OF the
leaders and the members of both
races.
Where 1 believe We fail is IN
doing equal justice to the Negro
population in the provision Of the
public utilities of the community.
One has only to make a casual visit
to the sections of the city where
most of the colored population IS
naturally segregated to reach the
conclusion that we do not make an
equal provision in the way OF streets
and sidewalks, of sewerage and
lighting. 1t is inevitable under such
conditions that there should be a
gradual movement among the col
ored population to secure more
adequate housing in those sections
OF the city where better provision
has been made for the white popula
tion.

TWO SIDES TO QUESTION.

There is at present segregation
ordinance before the City Council
to regulate this situation. recog
nize that there are two sides to the
question and that much feeling has
been aroused on both sides. The
chief weakness of the ordinance is
that it only seeks to regulate a Sit
uation that has already arisen rather
than to provide a constructive solu
|tion of a condition that remains un
changed. The surest safeguard to
segregation would be to do plain
Justice by the Nerroes-clean up
the districts in which they live to
provide decent streets and sewer
age and then plan for their expan
sion into some new suhurha0 d'stricrs
