Unfair Headlines

The screaming headline: MINNIE
APOLIS NEGRO ATTACKS WHITE
GIRL, greeted citizens of st. Paul on
downtown streets last Monday short
ly before noon. This headline was not
in southern daily paper or q So
called scandal sheet but in the noon
edition green sheet of the sedate st.
Paul Despatch.
The headline was q palpable appeal
to race hatred with only the excuse of
increasing street sales of that paper
to justify such fagrant poor taste.
Such headlines have been known to
start lynchings and race riots with
hundreds of innocent whites and
blacks being killed. This is not the
first time st. Paul papers have used
such headlines. They would not dare
play up the race of the criminal of any
other nationality over the actual of
fense. Such headlines might make
money but like blood-money it isn't

One headline Of this type can wreck
years of earnest effort By members of
the better classes Of each group to In
crease the good feelings between the
races.
IN Minneapolis. where the alleged
attack was supposed to have occurred,
the Minneapolis dailies carried the
story in q fair manner, making no
visible attempt to accentuate the ma
tionality of the criminal.
We do not believe that the editors
of the Despatch or the other st. Paul
dailies mean to be unfair TO any par
ticplar group but whenever they per-
mis such journalistic practices as ex-
hibited In Mondays Despatch. they
are being manifestly unfair to loyal
group of citizens who are no more
proud of their criminals than any 9TH

who subscribe to the daiiies should
protest against the re-occurrence of
such unfair news presentation.

Monday, and Thompson was released
on 5000 bail. Mrs. Thompson did not
appear.
Case Again Continued
Monday morning when the case was
called Mrs. Thompson accompanied by
her sister, stepped up before the
court followed by Thompson, who
asked that the case be continued until
Thursday to allow him to retain an
attorney. His request was granted.
It was evident from Thompson's re-
marks in court, both Saturday and
Monday, that he would fight the case
on the grounds that he was not mar
ried to the woman who had carried his
name for many years, and who most
Minneapolitans know only as Mrs.
Thompson.
Mrs. Thompson Tells Story
Thursday morning Mrs. Thompson
told a rather pathetic story of how
she had lived with Thompson since
1920 as his wife. She told the court
under questioning by Assistant City
Attorney Leo P. McHale. that
Thompson had promised to have a
legal ceremony performed, but that
he always seemed too busy. The rea-
son why she did not press him was be-
cause she thought he was what he
boasted, "a man of his word" She
told the court that he had introduced
her to people at Elk picnics as Mrs.
Thompson, and business meeting OF
corporation in which Mr.. Thompson
was interested. Under cross ex-
animation by Ernest Carey, high
priced attorney retained by Thomp-
son, she said she expected him to keep
his marriage promise.
Separated In 1929
The Thompsons separated in 1929
according to testimony brought out
at the trial. For about four years
Thompson paid the rent at 20S 18th
Ave. So., and allowed her to keep the
proceeds from roomers.
In October he moved some of his
belongings from that address to his
club next door. the woman told the
court. Since October, 1888, he had
refused to heat the building. She
lost all of her roomers because there
was no heat or water ii The building
since that time. For While before
the heat was of Mrs. Tho11rean testi-
fed that she "took in bachelor bundles
