1t was rOC GElal III Inc regal
sense of the word. Alabama simply
rushed through what was obviously
a pre-arranged determination to
place a Negro boy in the electric
chair at Kilby Prison in Montgom-
cry, Alabama.
Determined to Kill.
These are strong words. But I
have never been SO keenly aware
of the utter imposSibility of the
Scottsboro boys to get simple jus
tice as / am now that the Patterson
trial is over. Alabama is deter
mined to burn the Scottsboro boys
not only to teach "niggers" to stay
"in their place" but to teach the
North and the rest Of the country
that it inends to run its own state
as it pleases.
Just so long as miserable politicians
of the type of Judge Callahan and
Attorney General Thomas E. Knight,
Jr., and the ruling class inspired mob
clamor that they represent, are toler-
ated in Alabama or elsewhere in the
United States, justice will be mock
cry Callahan and Kr @'1t, as cam
didates Of the traditional lynch Party
the Democratic Party-deliberately
set out to send Patterson and the
other boys to their deaths for poll
tical advantage. They set out to
again ride into political power on
the arms of mob LISTING for the
blood Of the Scottsboro boys, which
they themselves inspired.
These statements are not the re-
suit of editorializing by an angry re-
porter disillusioned by the farce call
ed law in Alabama. They are the
mature convictions following the
hearing Of every bit of testimony in
the Patterson trial this Spring, and
again in the Patterson trial during
the past week, as well as personal
conversations with Attorney General
Knight, Judge Callahan, Judge Hor-
ton, who presided at the Spring trial,
and other Alabama officials. The
pertinent parts in these conversations
which have never been hitherto pub
lished will be given in these articles.
For a week before the first of the
Scottsboro cases came up before
Judge Callahan, I had been investi-
eating the reports that had seeped up
North, that the ScottSboro cases had
been set for conviction, so far as
the boys themselves were concerned,
and for q massacre Of the 1nterna-
tional Labor Defense attorneys, who
defended them, once they walked in
to the Morgan County courthouse. l
found plenty of circumstantial evil
dence that seemed to prove that the
whole case, including the reported
slaughter of defendants and their at
torneys, was set-up.
Liberal" Aids Prosecution
Some three or four days before the
case actually opened in Decatur. I
called upon a Mr.. Fidelson, associate
editor Of the Birmingham News Age
Herald, one of the influential dailies
in Alabama. I had learned that he,
Will Alexander of the Inter-racial
Commission with headquarters in
Atlanta, Bishop Mcdowell Of Ala
bama, and a number of influential"
citizens had been holding secret
meetings in an effort to persuade the
state to postpone the Patterson trial.
They were afraid that a slaughter
might result. The editorials in the
News Age Herald delicately said as
much.

stumbled into editorial writing from

On Eastern Shore

PRINCESS ANNE, Dec. 3.-Eastern
Shore lynchers celebrating the re-
lease of four arrested leaders of the
mob which lynched George Arlnwood,
Negro worker, shot William Jones,
Negro, in the leg, No arrests were
made.
Jones, one OF the few Negroes re-
naming in Princess Anne after We'd

gathered around a huge bonfire read
ing newspaper reports of the ten
minute hearing and release of the
four lynch leaders, when several Of
them fired at him. :
Gov. Ritchie yesterday announced
that he would take no further ac-
ton against the known lynchers of
Arnwood, whose arrest he was forced
to order by the mass pressure or
ganized by the League of Struggle
for Negro Rights, the International

delegation had been granted
full permission by the Secre-
tary of the Interior and War, Gui-
teras, to travel freely and to hold
meetings. The local military COM
mandant notified the delegation that
he had received instructions from
Elliteras to stop the meeting.
Sugar Workers Protest
In this counter-conlnnand, the
hand Of the U. S. Ambassador, Welles,
is clearly seen.
This action has aroused the strong
est indignation and protest among
the workers of Santa Clara, who i'm
mediately formed a joint delegation
with the members of the Delegation
to protest to the Grau government.
The workers of the Tanguaro Sugar
Mill met in protest. Vigorous pro-
tests will also be made to Roosevelt
and Welles against this attempt to
prevent the unity of the Cuban and
American masses against imperialism.
The Delegation was held for short
time under military detention, but
was later allowed to proceed.
Hold Scottsboro Meeting
1t was decided that part of the
Delegation, consisting of Shepard
and Runge, will proceed to the in
terror TO the Oriente Province to
meet the workers who seized the
Wall Street sugar mills, and to hold
solidarity Anti-Imperialist protest
meetings there.
The rest of the delegation is pro-
ceeding back to Havana, where a
huge Scottsboro protest meeting has
been arranged by the Negro Society.
The Delegation will speak at this
meeting.
The Delegation has arranged to
visit the families of victims of the
Machado regime as well as prisoners
still in Jail
In addition the delegates will adj
dress a mass meeting of the Havana
Trade Unions, protesting the Santa
Clara action of the Cuban troops at
the command of the Grau Minister
of the Interior.
The Delegation consists of Harry
Cannes, Chairman, of the AntiIm
perialist League and the Daily
Worker staff; J. B. Matthews, Chair
man OF the American Committee
Against War and Fascism; Henry
Sheppard, OF the Trade Union Unity
Council; Alfred Runge. of the Work
ers' Ex-Seryicemcn's League and a
veteran of the Spanish-American
War.

some $500 organized marchers in line,
white and Negro proletarians carry
ing the red banners Of their trade
unions, fraternal organizations and
Communist branches.
The parade wound In and out of
all the principal Harlem thorough
fares for four hours. BY the time 1t
ended in a mass meeting at Central
Park, the march was swollen to twice
its original number, by men and wo-
men, who stepped off the sidewalks.
Janitors left their Easements, mothers
left their kitchen stoves, kids forgot
their games, to march. Most of them,
it was obvious, had never been in a
demonstration before.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-12-04

Along the sidewlks other thou
sands cheered the demonstrators. At
every intersection the police used
their old petty provocation. They
would try to break up the parade
by signalling the traffic through. But
the parade closed ranks and resisted
this disruption. AT 135th st. and
Seventh Avenue there was typical
instance. A cop with an inflamed
face, red as tomato ketchup, started to
bust UP things. But several taxicab
drivers got off their cabs, and cursed
the cop. Don't break up that pa
rade, damn you'll" 1t was probably

of Prosecution on
First Day of Trial
Patterson's Sentence
Fixed for End of
Norris Trial

DECATUR, Ala, Dec. 5. -
Clarence Norris, who Friday
night heard the jury bring in
a death verdict against Hey
wood Patterson, after a rushed
three-day trial, went on trial here
yesterday, the second of the innocent
Scottsboro boys to face Judge Gala
hans lynch-court.
He faced the hostile frame-u court
under the same circumstances IN
which Patterson had found himself.
with Judge and jury and prosecut-
ing corps determined to railroad his
case through, despite all evidence
pointing to his undoubted Innocence,
to quick death verdict.
Nail Prosecution Lies
Under the vigorous cross examine
ton by the defense, the testimony Of
the prosecution witnesses crunbled
here as lie after lie was nailed. These
lies were exposed in spite of the eff
forts Of Callahan, who continually re-
fused to permit questions that would
have exposed even more fully the
frame-up nature Of the entire pro-
ceedings against the innocent boys.
Examined by Samuel s. Liebowitz,
defense attorney, two state witnesses
contradicted previous claims OF the
prosecution when they swore they saw
Victoria Price on the ground at q
spot $50 feet away from the place
where she had herself claimed she
tainted" on alighting from gon-
dola car.
Other state witnesses admitted,
under cross examination, that they
had seen group of Negroes stand
ing in one of the cars far behind the
car in which fighting between Negro
youths and group of white hoboes
was in progress.
Nero Worker Te<tifies
The growing fearlessness and soil
darity Of southern Negro workers with
the fro-ned Scottsboro boys was more
than ever before evident at yeSter-
days trial session.
Percy Kicks, Negro fireman of the
train in which the fight had occurred,
testified openly for the defense, stat

news came of the verdict in the

have learned grave lesson. For
every innocent boy they murder so
foully, there is an instant answer. A
