MINISTER'S BAND TO RESIST l. L. D.

Tuscaloosa, Ala, Aug Is (ANP) Lo-
cal colored ministers and few other
leaders organized last week and issued
an appeal against outside influences
injecting themselves into the trial of
three colored men for the murder of
Vaudine Maddox, white.
A petition issued by the group here
bore twenty signatures, and read in part
1--WE feel that the fair indedness and
Christian integrity of citizens of this
community will see to it that justice is
given in these case and our conviction
is that the defense Of these cases ought
to be left in the hands of competent
lawyers"
This action followed circulation of a
report that the International Labor De-
Tense, defenders of the Scottsboro boys,
would intercede in behalf of the alleged
slayers of the Maddox woman and the
widelyhearlded accusation that the men
to be tried were framed.
Those on trail, defended by local
lawyers, are Daniel Pippen, Jr., Elmore
(Honey) Clark and A. T. Harden.
