against her, a death penalty was
pronounced upon my son.
The big lie that Ruby Bates had
been bribed. Who bribed her?
When and where was she bribed?
she has been trying to join the
defendants. from the first day she
was put in jail in Scottsboro. Who
bribed Lester Carter? Where did
he get this bribe? Why was Car
ter and Gilley not used on the trial
in Scottsboro, if they knew any
thing material?
"MY BOY SAVED GILLEY"
My boy pulled Gilley up on the
train to keep him from being
killed, while attempting to jump
off, Was Gilley afraid of him
then? Sure not.
DR.. Bridges testified that two
hours after Victoria Price was ar
rested and put in Jail he examined
her, that she was not even ner-
vous, hysterical, or that there were
any serious hurts, only a few
scratches, and no injury and his
testimony did not help her case.
Other medical testimony proved no
crime was committed.
Why did the jury convict Hay
wood Patterson in Alabama when
he is absolutely innocentP Be-
cause it was a white woman &C
cusing a Negro boy. If it had been
a Negro woman accusing a white
boy, he would never have been in
dicted, or if it had been two Ne
gro girls accusing seven white boys
and one Negro woman came up
confessing her lies, as Ruby Bates
has done. that would have been
the end of this litigation.
Haywoo6 Patterson was convicted
because he is black. No other
reason, no other excuse, no other
cause, none wanted, entirely limo

"THE LIFE OF
JIMMIE DOLANT

THERE is a type OF Hollywood
movie that simply defies serious
analysis. Adolph zukor, we'll
known film producer, once frankly
admitted that it would be bad bust
ness policy indeed to manufacture
movies that appeal to anything
above an average fourteen-year-old
intelligence. One would have to
be blessed with very charitable
nature to squeeze 'The Life Of JIM
mie Dolan" into even this category.
Under normal conditions I would
