accepted the challenge of the
American Civil Liberties Union
to pardon Anthony Cataldi. IS,
year-old self-styled Paul Revere
of the San Jose lynchings, if the
youth is convicted of participant
ing in mob violence. Cataldi was
arrested on information laid be-
fore the Santa Clara county au-
thorities by the organization.
Identification and prosecution of
others was promised.
Rolph promptly replied that he
had not changed his mind about
pardoning any one convicted in
the affair.
SAN JOSE, Calf, Dec. 13.-
(UP).-Anthony CataAdi, an 49,
year-old farmer who allegedly
boosted that he led mob which
lynched two kidnap-slayers, was
incarcerated last night in the
same Jail from which the lynch
victims were taken. Cataldi was
charged in warrant issued by
District Attorney Fred l.. Thomas

Conviction under the state law
would bring n sentence of from
one to 20 wears in prison.

arrested the youth at his fathers
ranch, said evidence against Ca
taldi would be presented to the
grand jury which will be called
soon in special session, The
youth was released several hours
after his arrest on a $4,000
bond obtained by his father, j.
T. Calaldi.
"A. l.. Wirin and Ellis C. Jones,
who represented the American
Civil Liberties Union, presented
evidence to District Attorney
Thomas that brought issuance OF
the warrant.
They indicated that they could
identify other leaders of the mob
that took Thomas N. Thurmond
and ]. H. Holmes from the Santa
Clara county Jail, after a stiff
battle with officers, and hanged
them in St. James park.
They said that Governor James
Rolph, Jr., might be given an OPP
portunity to stand by his asser-
ton that he would pardon any
one convicted of participating in
the lynching of Brooke L. Harris
slayers.
In a statement last night,
