you to be assured of the present

hope that no shortcoming which you
observed and against which you must

Citizens were admonished to use

urged all candidates be forced to make

Delegates were urged to return to

New Deal devices. They were told
first to get the facts on discrimina-

Sounding a final fighting note in a
speech which bristled with a slashing
attack on injustices inflicted upon

Negroes Thrice Convicted
Three times the Negroes have be n
convicted by the lower courts since
they were pulled from a f, light train
in the mountain town Of Paint Rock
in 1881 and charged with a massed
criminal assault on Ruby Bates and
Mrs. Price.
At their first trials both women
hoboes described how nine Negroes
threw their white men companions
from the train and then in turn par
ticipated in the attack.
Eight were convicted, the Supreme
Court later ruling one Of them was a
juvenile. The international Labor De
Tense interviewed and the most bitter
legal fight in the states history was
on. New trials denied, the cases went
to the Alabama Supreme Court,
which confirmed seven of the death
sentences.
The United States Supreme Court
set tn seven death sentences aside
on November 8, 1882, holding the
Negroes had not had the benefit of
proper counsel, and remanded the
cases for retrial. The highest court
did not go into the merits of the
case. Last Spring Patterson was re-
tried, the jury convicted Patterson at
his second trial and Judge Horton
pronounced the death sentence April
9, only to set it aside on June %,
1888, holding the evidence was in
sufficient to warrant the verdict.
Shortly before the retrials, Ruby
Bats disappeared from her home in
Huntsville and a widespread search
failed to reveal her.
Just before the defense rested in
tbs Patterson case in April, 1888,
Samuel S. Leibowitz of New York,
chief Of counsel Retained by the II
ternational Labor Defense, asked for
a brief recess, and at its conclusion
Ruby Bates walked into the court
room and repudiated her testimony
in the original trials.
Her appearance created a sensa-
ton. She said DIR. Harry Emerson
Fosdick, pastor of the fashionable
Riverside Baptist Church in New
York, had advised her to return to
"tell the truth" after she had gone
to him with her story hat Mrs.
Price had concocted the attack story
to prevent arrest as a vagrant.
A mild sensation was caused when
the names Of Negroes wene found on
the jury rolls. Leibowitz charged
they were forgeries, and called a
hand writing expert, who testified
they had been added to the list.

back from Arizona to face trial on
bank robbery charges and murder
count.
Today Mrs. Holley was PROSTATE
in her living quarters at the county
Jail, due to excitement over the
escape of the notorious criminal.
She refused to answer her tele-
phone or reply to any queries from
press representatives.
Mrs. Holley was not disturbed
when Dillinger escaped Today. She
was in her living quarters and was
not locked up with the rest Of the
jail attaches.
At the time Mrs. Holley became
the legal custodian of Dillinger, she
said that outside guards would be
placed around the Jail to prevent a
of his Lima co. escape.
The guards were placed.
Today, not one of these guards
could be found who saw Dillinger
and the Negro accompanying him
escape through the garage door at
the rear of the jail.
In her preparations for caring for
Dillinger, the woman sheriff said
that he would be kept in a solitary
cell and that at all times an armed
guard would watch his cell.

band, Sheriff Roy Holley, who was
