the local branch, little concern was
felt over the statement of the red
auxiliary, discrediting it as mere
Communist propaganda and altogeth-
er extraneous to the procedure of
the case which has already been pre-
pared by the organization at a cost
upward of six hundred dollars.
In setting forth its evidence the
International Labor Defense offered
signed statements of the Scottsboro
relatives. The statement which is
stated to have been signed in good
faith by the boys and the parents
and guardians concerned was dated
October first and read:
eve employed Mr.. George W.
Chamlee, former Attorney General,
as attorney to defend the Scottsboro
boys and he has entire control of
that case, and the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Color
ed People has been advised to keep
out of the case as its services were
not desired. All the parents and next
to kin of the Scottsboro boys have
jointly employed Mr.. Chamlee and
we have not employed anyone con-
nected with the N. A. A. C. P. in this
case. Mr.. Chamlee's employment was
entirely ethical and legitimate and
he entered the case at our request
in April of this year and has been
in it ever since, and our boys have
on many occasions ratified his en-
ployment and they are minors and
under the law incapable of making
contracts or employing attorneys I'M
der the Alabama laws"

He is owner of a big plantation and

Some of those present who heard
him testify declared that it appear

said. The regular Tuskegee attor-

into her body. The killer fled before
anyone could reach the scene.
Despite the fact that Pinkerton de-

only arrest made was that of Harris.
Many rumors, some of which in

family, were circulated after the

at him. while he did their shopping.
On the tenth night the artist tried
unsuccesSfully to get the bandits so
drunk he might escape while they en-
tertained their sweethearts at q party

dashed to freedom For 10 minutes

The sympathy Of the people Of
