NAMES OF NEAL LYNCHERS KNOWN

New York-Three of the alleged
lynchers OF Claude Neal. young
Mariana. Florida Negro who was
tortured twelve hours on October
26. for the murder of white girl
before being finally lynched, are
known by name. Attorney General
Homer s. Cummings and Governor
Sholtz OF Florida and Miller OF
Alabama were sent this informa-
ton today by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People whose Investigator has
just rendered a 500-word report
OF the gruesome proceedings.
One OF the ringleaders Is said to
have arranged with friends in Pen
sacola to have word sent TO him
when Neal was removed from the
Jail there to the Brewton, Ala. jail.
Another rIngleader is prominent In
local civic bodies. A clerk in a fill
Ing station who admittedly attend
ed the lynching has identified the
woman who rushed out Of the Can
nidy house and plunged a butcher
knife into the heart OF the Neal
corpse when II was thrown by the
mob into the Cannidy front yard.
The association submits that
these leads will give operatives OF
the Bureau OF Investigation clues
as to where information sufficient
to indict and convict the kdnapers
may be secured. The two governors
have been asked 10 use this infor-
nation in whatever efforts they
may put forth to apprebend and
punish the kidnapers and lynchers.
