the two kidnapers was criticized by
six pastors during church services
here Sunday.
"The governor insults the pio-

Lawrence Wilson, pastor of the
Pioneer Congregational church.
Never in the darkest days of mob
violence has governor of the
United States come out for lynch
law.

worst characters their chance Let
us call them by their right names;
not 'red-blooded Americans. but

S. Leibowitz, chief defense lawyer
in the Scottsboro case, tried at
Decatur, Alabama, recently, made
stirring appeal to 1900 or more
persons that crowded into the As
bury Methodist Church here Sun
day, April 80, to strike a definite
and powerful blow at intolerance,
hypocrisy, and the damnable con-
ditions prevailing throughout the
entire South. by aiding the Inter
national Labor Defense to appeal
the conviction of Haywood Pat
tersOn.
Last January, Mr.. Leibowitz
said n committee from the Inter
national Labor Defense came to
his office in New York.. He said
he had never heard of the organi-
zation before. They asked him TO
take up the Scottsboro case. He
told the committee he was a
Democrat. Now. if you want me
TO go down there, / will, provided
you do not require me in the
slightest degree TO use the court
room as a public forum for the
purpose Of spreading radical
propaganda, because if you have
that in mind, count me out.

IT,. And to the credit thus far of
the |. l.. d.. they have kept their
word.
After a detailed account of all
his moyemcnts.a and methods in the
trial Of he case Mr.. Leibowitz
said;
Il think in my own heart and
soul that nobody down there IS
very eager 20 try another case
after that first verdict. If they
have one spoonful Of brains in
their csaniums. they must realize
