CITIZENS PLAN
TESTIMONIAL TO
MAYOR MURPHY
Tentative Date Set
For Next Saturday
At Y. w. G. A.
To Present Murphy
With Bronze Plaque

A committee of citizens, seek
ing to show their appreciation
of the many fine contributions
made by Mayor Frank Murphy,
decided that it would be fitting
to give a testimonial tea at the
Lucy Thurman branch of the Y.
w. c. A. before the executive
leaves Detroit for Manila to be-
come Governor of the Philip
pines.
The tentative date for the tes-
timonial was set at April %. AS
the Mayor was in Washington
Thursday, the day of the meet
ing, 1t could not be determined
whether the executive would be
able TO attend at that time. The
testimonial will be from four to
six.

Mr.. Nose l.. Walker, president
of the local branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
and one of the moving spirits in
the group which met at the ST.

general chairman of the COM
mittee Mr.. Louis c. Blount was
elected secretary.
1t was decided by the commit
tee to present the mayor with a
bronze plaque with an inscrip-
ton on 1t expressing the deep
appreciation of his past kind
deeds. DR.. Rupert G. Markoe,
Rev. William II. Peck and John

There was considerable dis
cussion at the meeting Wednes-
day regarding the possible length
of the inscription. Many were
of the opinion that it should be
brief and to the point, while 9TH
esr thought that it would be
more fitting TO go more into de-
tails. 1t was finally decided to
use no more than so words.
The committee on arrange
ments and program will make
final arrangements for the testi-
monial at the meeting Saturday

NJ UGH DRAMA
IN NOTED CASE
Defense Produces a
Picture to Prove
Intimacy
Case Unfolds Much
Drama for Spectators

When Ruby Bates, missing
states witness, made her reap
pearance in the "Scottsboro
Case" Thursday afternoon to re-
cant all her testimony given at
the first trial two years ago and
swear that Vicoria Price had
framed" the nine boys, she
climaxed what is probably the
greatest drama which has un-
folded itself since the war.
Nor. since the Civil War, has
the residents of Decatur, located
on the banks Of the Tennessee
river in the northern part of Al
ALBANIA, been so reused with the
international attention this lit
tie city is receiving because of
the horde of people crowding
into the city to hear the case
against the nine boys.
Much Drama in Case
There were other dramatic in
cidents attached to this world
far1kIs case Moro might be
presented at the coming trlals
but it is hardly probable that
any will equal those Of the first
trial.
Ruby Bates disappeared from
her home February 20. and had
been missing since. The prose-
cution hao made desperate eff
forts to locate her in order Go
strengthen the web which had
been woven around the defend
ants.
When Samuel Lebrowitz, chief
counsel for the defense, called
Ruby Bates name in the crowd
ed court room, CONSERVATION
reigned supreme. 1t was appar-
ent from the action of the pros
ecuting attorneys that they had
been caught unaware.
Surprise Is Great
The surprise was so great that
Judge James S. Horton, before
whom the trial was held, moved
down from his dignified seat and
took a position in the rallied in
closure and fastened his eyes on
the single entrance to the court
room.
