SCOTTSBORO AND TUSCALOOSA

What the lynchers could not do at
Scottsboro-they did the othe day at
Tuscaloosa.
What the Alabama Judge Foster
and his white landlord masters had in
mind when they drove the |. L. D. law
yers out of Tuscaloosa is now all to ghast-
ly evident.
1--WE must not let this case become
another S%cottsboro case" said Judge
Foster at that time.
And in the bullet-riddled Of the
three Negro boys, the workers of this
country have proof of what that means.
1t was only by making Tuscaloosa
another S~cottsboro that the three Negro
lads could have been snatched from the
hands of the lynchers.
The presence Of the |. L. D. made
the lynching more difficult. There was
danger of world protest, danger of that
[. L. D. lawyers would tear away the
cloak from the Jimcrow foulness Of the
Alabama courts. There was danger in the
fearful words of the frightened Judge of
another Scottsboro case"
That is why the Sheriff and the
white landlord masters had to organize
a lynch gang to drive the I. L. D. away
Then the Tuscaloosa lynchings could 90
ahead without fear of interruption.
Tuscaloosa shows what would
have quickly happened in Sc~ottsboro had
the lynchers succeeded in their efforts.

ance that this code was not to be re-

THAT ALABAMA LYNCHING
(F'rOm The st. Louis Argus)

II Nv. dOO1O al y
Now that two Negroes have been
lynched in northern Alabama near Deca-
tur, we suppose that the white people Of
that community have had their thirst for
Negro blood satiated. 1t is not to be pre-
sumed that the people of the community
were moved to action by the Nervousness
OF the crime which had been committed.
but it is thorouhgly understood that these
people acted because Of the color of the
skin of those who were accused. There
could be no doubt in the minds of those
people but that, if the accused were found
guilty, proper punishment would be met
ed out to them because the accused were
Negroes who seldom, if ever, get Justice
in an Alabama court. There could be no
doubt in the minds of the mob but that
adequate punishment would be given the
victims by any judge in Alabama before
whom they were tried. The, why the
lycnhing? No body can say that the
courts in Alabama have ever been lax in
measuring out punishment to Negroes.
Then, why should these people take the
law in their hands? We have a suspicion.
we feel certain, in fact we almost know
that the leaders of the mob knew then.
just as they know now, that nothing
would be done about it.
One statement says that the
lynching of the two Negro youths was an
expression of resentment against the In
ternational Labor Defense. Why should
these people be angry or feel resentful
toward the International Labor Defense?
All the international Labor Defense has
lone in a legal way in connection with
the Scottsboro case was to show an Ala

Editorial from t h e Richmond
Times Dispatch, August 10)
Negroes on Grand Jury
Richmonders and Virginians gem
orally, we believe, will applaud the
determination of Judges John L. In
gram and Ernest III. Wells to place
the m of Negroes on grand jury
lists. 1t is a step forward which be-
speaks the proper spirit.
There is no sound reason why the
Negroes of Richmond should not par
ticipate in the administration of jus
tice. They are full-fledged citizens Of
the community, and, as such, have an
inherent right to have a hand in the
direction Of its affairs. They share in
the formulation of governmental
policies; by what course of reasoning
should they be denied a place in the
administration of laws under which
they, as citizens, live?
Richmond has a large Negro pop
ulation, yet there has never been the
slightest friction between them and
the white population. They have a
whole, have proved themselves to be
good, law-abiding citizens, ready
cause of government will not have
suffered by reason of their participa-
ton in it.
In the case of George Crawford,
whose ~extradition from Massachu-
sets to Virginia, to answer a charge
of murder, was denied by a Federal
judge on the ground that Negroes did
not serve on juries in Loudoun, al
though the legality Of such service
was never questioned, precipitated
the question of doubt as to the valid
ity Of trials under this system. That
doubt should be swept away, and
Judges Ingram and Wells are taking
the lead in that movement.

Freedom Can't be BOUGHT

Perhaps it is because / have en-
erged from prison under such spec
tactular circumstances that readers
all over the country are, in every
mail, flooding me with queries con-
corning methods of obtaining free
dom for friends and kinsmen. At
first / promised to give all such let
tiers my personal attention but after
two months of freedom l find myself
unable to maintain the enormous ex-
pense Of handling all these letters
and to such readers who have written
me and perhaps have received no
reply | want you to know that your
letters have been received, contents
duly noted and filed according to the
content classification, and each week.
through this column, 1 shall write an
article designed particularly to cover
the majority of the unanswered let
tiers on hand, and through this same
medium your future letters will be
treated.
IN the majority Of letters received
| an told Of various sums which have
been paid lawyers who have intimated
that they could obtain the freedom of
certain prisoners. Other letters tell
me of the offers made by othr law
yers who are seeking funds for this
same purpose. And in still other let
ters my advice is being asked as to
the best lawyers to obtain and a fair
price to pay for such services.
Some of the stories written to me,
and told to me, are pitiful indeed
wherein devoted and loving relatives
have mortgaged their personal pos
sessions to obtain money to give law
yers who have promised things that
they were positively not in position
to promise and although they duly
received the money the prisoners are
still in prison.
My advice, in general, to all friends
and relatives of prisoners, in view of
my own personal experiences and OBJ
servations, is that no money whatso-
ever should be paid any attorneys
who promise to obtain certain results
after SO much cash has been paid
them. And this not only applies to at
torneys but to all classes of persons
One case is before me of a preacher
who obtained two hundred and thirty
dollars from a prisoner two years
ago and he has not even yet called on

bama judge that the State was wrong in
its endeavor to railroad nine innocent
boys to the electric chair; thus possibly
saving the State from a great irrepar-
able wrong against a weaker people.
Wasn't that the proper thing to do? Was
MT that something for which the people
Of the State should be proud? If the boys
are finally saved and released and set
free hasn't the State been saved a terrible
disgrace? Then, why should these peo-
ple.b be resetful? Why so bloodthirsty? Let
the people Of Alabama answer. Let the
Attorney-Genera of the State of Ala

even get the preacher to write to
him. So, it is obvious that MONEY paid
in advance to any type of person for
the promise of freedom is an absolute
waste.
There are legitimate instances of
where a lawyer could be well retain
where a lawyer could be well retain
ed, even after all court methods have
been exhausted, but such services are,
more or less, for those cases where
many outside contacts are necessary
to be made in order to attempt to
establish additional facts evidence
than what could be procured at the
trial, for new facts and new evidence
will be considered at all times by the
various Pardon Boards and Govern
ors.
Advising people what not to dc
without offering some alternative
suggestions rs of little value so my
advice would include personal cor
respondence contact, first, with the
P~ardoning Official to obtain the ex-
act status of the prisoner in question
From the answer received there
usually will be sufficient leads to in
innate what the future contacts
should be and usually these include
an attempt to secure the favorable
recommendation of the sentencing
judge; a confidential statement from
the prison official; and perhaps q
few recommendations from respon-
slble people who know the prisoner
With these letters, if favorable, a
home provided for, as well as a job
it is possible then to present the case
to the Pardoning Official, sponsored
perhaps by some responsible individ-
uals known to all concerned, and the
chances of securing favorable con.
sideration for the prisoner are much
greater, and at considerably less ex.
pense, than by paying some fabulous
price to persons who positively lacl

Based upon our limited informa-
ton, it looks as though the Judge and
the Sheriff were in collision or con-
spiracy with the leaders of the mob to
lynch these boys. Everything seemed to
have bee timed. And like the clock strikes
at a given time, the mob swoops down on
the Sheriff, takes the prisoners, and
pulls off the dirty work. What is the At
torney-General going to do about that?
Will he prosecute the leaders and the
members of the mob? Attorney-General
