Southern Press and the
Scottsboro Case

The Jackson County Sentinel published at
ScottSboro, reprinted the above article and in
the same issue protested in vigorous terms when
an attempt was made to remove the case from
that town into some other city. In an editorial
the Sentinel said;
"The editor Of the Sentinel is informed that
the attorneys will petition for Change of
venue" under the claim that newspaper stories
and other propaganda have made it impos-
sible to get fair and unprejudiced trial In
Jackson County for the Negroes. The claim
is without foundation. The Sentinel is not
prejudiced. The evidence against them is cor
roboratiye and witnessed. 1t hardly seems
possible that all evidence can be broken down.
We fail to see where a change of venue
could benefit the Negroes very much, If any,"
In the same town of Scottsboro there is pub
lished a paper called the Progressive Age 1t
prides itself on its liberalism On April 2, a few
days prior to the trial, it congratulated the
people of the county for not lynching the nine
Negroes and then added:
'"The people of Jackson County are to be
congratulated upon their conduct during the
past few days when their patience and chiv-
airy were severely taxed. IF EVER THERE
WAS AN EXCUSE FOR TAKING THE LAW
INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, SURELY THIS
The press during the trial perverted every bit
of testimony in the court room. When the two
physicians, Dr. r. r. Bridges and DR.. NJ. H.
Lynch, testified to the effect that the girls
showed no great mental or physical disturbance
Immediately after the incident and that one of
the girls had only slight marks upon her body
the size of dime the Sentinel reported that:
"The two physicians who made intimate
examinations of both white girls after the al
legged attack testified as To bruises and
scratches and that microscopic examination
showed evidence that was contended by the
state corroboratiye to the story told by the
girls"
This is an exact opposite to what the two
physicians had testified When the Interna-
tional Labor Defense stepped in, in defense of
the victimized Negroes, a barrage of attack
poured down on the workers defense organiza-
ton for daring to resist the attack of the ruling
class. The publicity issued by the T. L. D. was
not at all to the liking of the Southern press

torially that:

national Labor Defense of New Yawk and

Lows ROOM FOR THE GROWTH OF THE
THOUGHT THAT MAYBE AFTER ALL 'THE
SHORTEST WAY OUT" IN CASES LIKE
THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST
METHOD OF DISPoSING OF THEM
From an editorial in the Jackson County Sem
tinel of Scottsboro, Ala
TIE town OF Scottsboro turned into festival
ground in celebration of the legal lynching
of nine Negroes. Eight thousand people the
largest crowd ever assembled in that town.
storrned the square in and about the court
room The days were rather sunny and fair
for this holiday lynch mob, irked on by the
press and mill bosses. The local Hosiery Mill
land, furnished by one of the scabbiest open
shop outfits in the South, greeted every verdict
of guilty with an outburst of martial music.
A holiday spirit was in the air, created and
bolstered by the ruling class of that section.
And for period Of few days the workers and
farmers Of Jackson County forgot" their ram
shackle homes and empty stomachs. The work.
erS ana farmers OF JACKSON county were given
an enemy" to think about and fight. And with
this enemy-nine young Negro boys-came a
band, soldiers with their bright bayonets, young
girls dressed in their best calicoes A festival
at Scottsboro! And the merchants In the little
town were collecting the last pennies from the
assembled workers over their counters and soda
water fountains.
All seemed to be moving evenly and fair for
the executioners Of the nine Negroes. The en-
tire press Of that section in the South was like
a puppet responding to its masters strings
Only fifteen days passed between the supposed
rape" of those two girls on that moving freight
and the verdict of guilty, sentencing eight young
boys 10 the electric chair.
The press deliberately and consciously pre-
pared and preudiced the minds Of the prospec-
tive jurors. The Chattanooga News few days
prior to the trial burst into poetic prose against
the nine workers:
"How much farther apart than night and
day are the nine men who perpetrated those
fHghtful deeds and normal, kind hearted
man who guards his little family and tolls
through the day. going home to loved ones at
night with q song In his heart How is 1t pos
sible that In the vesture ef man can exist
souls like those nine, while Others in the YES
ture Of man can dream such beauty as Keats
dreamed, or can paint as did Raphael?'

Pan-Handling

A conraoe writes from Cleveland relating his
experiences, in Pittsburgh and expressing Diff
ference with recent articles about begging and
pan-handling. In essence he says What do
you expect workers to do If their stomschs are
empty?"
Naturally, we expect them to eat But hows
If it Is a matter of choice, as it appears to
the conrade, wechoose that they should remeni-

bound to take up the fight for them and compel
local authorities to furnish them food. More,

directly provide food themselves. relieving In

If the Unemployed Councils are not doing that,
they are not doing their work. But the COM
rade does not even mention this, and but bare

on to explain the need Of parl-handling OF
course, necessity knows no law. The worker
who is hungry will beg or steal when he sees no
other way out s
But it is different matter when regarded
as driven by necessity-iu the absence Of any

Which is an interesting revelation OF q nom
Communist attitude. Because Communist has
political duty among other workers in the

something better for himself, but for the
other workers he can find there and organize

BRADY SEEKING
NEW TRIAL

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 5.-At-
torneys for Leroy Brady, found
guilty of second degree murder
in the Seat Pleasant bombing in
which three persons were killed,
appeared before Circuit Judge
Robert Moss here today to argue
for new trial for their client.
Bomb Killed Three
The brothers were indicted
shortly after the bombing in
which Naomi Hall Brady. expec-
tant mother and bride of Herman;
Dorothy Hall, 4, and Samuel Hall,
10, her brother and sister, weI2
killed when the christmas pack
age" bomb exploded in their
home on Carmody Road on New
Year Day, 1880.
Under Maryland law, Leroy
faces a maximum sentence of 18
years in prison under his conVic-
ton.
Error Is Charged
His attorneys argued that the
prosecution erred in presenting
certain evidence which the judge
ordered ruled out, holding that
this will entitle their client to a
new trial.
Possibility that Herman Brady
will not be tried was seen when
the prosecution in presenting the
case claimed that the bomb was
made and planted by Leroy.
