mendous opportunities for the TUUL

Court Threatens Working Glass.

Court Threatens Working Class.
Chief Justice John G. Anderson
opened the hearing this morning with
the statement that for weeks the Su-
prenne Court had been bon1barded by
protest kilograms and resolutions
some revolutionary in character" He
stated that II he had senders Of the
kilograms and resolutions within the
jurisdiction OF the Alabama Supreme
Court he would cite them all for con-
tempt Of court. As the protests were
sent by organizations and mass meet
ings representing millions Of workers
the Alabama court would have rather
stiff job. The statement Of the
Chief Justice reflects the fear OF the
white ruling class In the face Of the
growing united front fight of white
and Negro workers against the lynch
terror.
Charnlee was the first OF the de-
fense attorneys to argue the appeals.
He read an article from the jackson
County Sentinel published in Scotts-
boro, Ala) of March 25 calling the
boys BLACK fiends" and Negro
brutes" and declaring that they were
"all identified" and "all guilty"
Chanlee then cited the court records
to prove that the Sentinel deliberately
engaged in vicious campaign Of
lynch Indictment against the boys and
that the boys were tried In lynching
atmosphere created by this and other
melting articles In the capitalist press.
Tells Of Confused Evidence by Girls,
Chamlee asked why the seven white
boys who were jailed with the Negro
lads and the two white girls were
not put on the stand in the Circuit
Court at Scottsboro. He brought out
how young Clarence Norris was
threatened with lynching and bru-
tally beaten to make him accuse the
other boys Of a crime none Of them
had committed.

To Spread Strike TO States.
The Spread the str1ke' conference
to be held Sunday in Pinevi1le, KY,
will have for its main objective the
spreading Of the strike in Harlan and
Bell Counties. However, the Execu-
tive Strike Committee Of the NEU
announced yesterday that IT IS con-
fidently expected that the conference
will result in the spreading Of the
strike into the other seven states as
well. Thousands Of leaflets calling
on the working miners Of Harlan and
Bel County to send delegates to the
conference are still being distributed
all over the two counties.
Despite the terror of the gun thugs
who raised the charge of criminal
syndicalism against any miner caught
distributing leaflets, a gigantic DEM
onstration of working and striking
miners of Kentucky and Tennessee
viii take place at Pineville Sunday
just before the conference. 1t is ex-
pected that hundreds o. miners will
leave their homes late Saturday
night and early Sunday morning in
order to get to the demonstration on

but no such crime took place on the
freight train. He showed in q clear
analysis how Ruby Bates and Vic
toria Price had contradicted time and
again their own testimony in the
lynch trials, and how no supporting
testimony was produced by the State
TO verify the stories of the girls.
Destroys Evidence of Victoria Price.
He declared the fifteen affidavits
obtained since the lynch trial at
Scottsboro throw new light on the
girls and the evidence they gave. He
read into the records the affidavit by
Percy Hicks, fireman of the freight
train, in which Hicks declares he saw
the girls in the box car and not in
the gondola in which the Negro boys
were travelling. He later saw the girls
running from the train, and saw the
Negro boys being taken from various
parts Of the train. He had seen the
two girls g week previous bunlning a
ride to Chattanooga. This testimony
destroys the entire story of Victoria
Price.
Schwab then read affidavits prov
ing that the girls were notorious pros
titutes. Even the counter affidavit by
the State says that the Bates girl was
a good girl until she met Victoria
Price.
Brodsky Electrifies Court.
The LID. attorneys demanded a
new trial for the boys on the new evi-
dence presented and on the charac-
ter of the two sole witnesses against
the boys.
Joseph Brodsky made a rnasterful
appeal. Those present in the court
were electrified as he told how the
boys were convicted while lynch gangs
packed the court, paraded outside
and cheered the first convictions.
Brodsky brought out the fact that
Negroes were excluded from the jury
and the jury panels. He told how four
jurymen admitted that they heard
the mob cheering and band playing
Hail, the Gangs All Here" in cele-
bration Of the first death verdict, and
while second trial was in progress.
He quoted the statement of Stephen
Roddy, N.A.A.C.P. attorney. who be-
trayed the boys, that Il am not pre-
pared. do not know laws down here.
1t would be better If stepped out"
Brodsky proved clearly that the boys
were denied the most elementary hui
man rights of legal counsel. advice
