Is beng declared by all who still believe that
this is not the civilized method of dealing with

that the same crime for which he was lvncbed

Broke" Municipalities

Many municipalities of the country
are in the same position as thou
sands of individuals these days
either they're broke or are going
broke-their credit is no good due to
too much public extravaganza and
debt. Conditions have reached the
point where Congress is considering
a Municipal Bankruptcy Relief Bill.
At last report, 2,019 municipal and
county governmental units were in
default on bonds debt certificates
against homes, farms and business
esq totaling $4,000, O0O, 900, which
they cannot pay. According to Repre-
sentative Wilcox Of Florida, more
than 100 additional units are going
into default monthly.
That is especially interesting at
this time, when a determined cam
paign is being carried on to put more
municipalities into business a n d
debt-usually with an electric light
and power plant. Every one of these
proposals entails a substantial bond
issue (debt certificate) which, to-
gether with interest, must be event
ually paid or defaulted by the tax
payers.
Practically all such proposals are
unnecessary Implications Of existing
power facilities and do not offer any
new or needed service.

municipal, state or federal plants
piles up tremendous obligations for
local taxpayers, and most Of all they
render no needed or additional sery-

oversupplied with electric power
more than there is any demand for.
1t is heartening to record in this

WILLIE PETERSON
AVE FROM A
FIGHT TO CONTINUE
Case Arose at Height of Bitterness
Over S%cOttsboro Trial and Once
Threatened to Develop Into
Race Riot; Efforts for Full
Freedom to Be Continued
By N. A. A. C. p.

Birmingham, Ala March 23.-Willie
Peterson, sentenced to death in the
electric chair for the murder of two
white society girls in August. 1881.
had his sentence committed to life i'm
prisonment Tuesday March 20 by
Governor B. NJ. Miller.
Thus ended another stage in the
two and a half year fight for Peter
sons freedom, which has been pack
ed with melodrama including attempt
ed murder of the defendant in Jail
and a near race riot, since Peterson's
arrest in the fall of 1881. Since his
arrest he has been defended by the
N. A. A. C. P.
Peterson was picked up off the
streets Of Birmingham when Miss
Nell Williams, the only surviving girl
of the trio that went for a drive in
the late afternoon of August a, 1881
to a park on the outskirts f the city,
saw him as she was driving down a
street. Peterson made no effort to
run away since he has steadfastIy
maintained he knows nothing of the
crime.
Shot Down in Jail.
His first trial resulted in a hung
jury. While confined in the Jail, the
mother Of Miss Williams and several
others visited him for a conference
and there before their eyes of the
sheriff, Williams shot Peterson down.
The latter recovered, however.
The second trial resulted in a ION
viction after the charge of rape had
been added to the original charge of
murder. Nothing had ever been said,
even in the very first newspaper re-
pots of the crime aout rape. The
brother of Miss Williams was thes
tried and acquitted Of attempted u
der.
Dean houston ASSISTS
The long, weary, difficult legal
battle was carried forward by the N.
A. A. G. p. up to the United States
supreme court, which declined to re-
view the case.
By the summer of 1888 the strategy
Of dividing Alabama white sentiment
was beginning to take effect. Hun
dreds Of influential people came for
ward and declared they did not be-
lieve Peterson guilty. The basis of
this activity was the memorandum
prepared by Dean Charles n. Has
ton and his associates following their
conference in Birmingham with white
and co1ored people.
Throughout the fight, the GOODNESS
and courage of the Birmingham
branch Of the N. A. A. c.. p. led
