Citizens Urge
Pardon Board
To Free McDuffie
PLEA FOR YOUTH WHO WAS
RAILROADED TO PRISON

A group of white and Negro citi-
zens appeared before the Minnesota
State Pardon Board Wednesday in be-
half of Ernest McDuffie, who was
convicted three years ago following
an alleged offense against a minor
child in Anoka. After his arrest in
Anoka he was brought to Minneapolis
to foil mob violence, since feeling was
reported to run high against him.
In Minneapolis he pied guilty to
the charge. He Afterwards Id Q fl
Gals of the International L. ( Na-
Tense, who investigated the case, hat
he Piled guilty because he vs. ID
by Anoka police authorities tina = -
did plead guilty he would get sAory
sentence.
McDuffie also said he was told that
if he did not plead guilty he would
be returned to Anoka where he would
surely be lynched. This is the reason
why he pied guilty according to his
claim.
McDuffie also claimed that labor
difficulties caused various prejudiced
whites in Anoka to seek to get him
out of the town and that the charges
against him were framed.
Monday committee of local citi-
zens requested Judge Matthias Bald
win, of the Hennepin County District
Court, to recommend communication Of
McDufie's sentence. Judge Baldwin
refused to make such a recommended
ton, stating that he made it a prac-
tice not to make recommendations to
the pardon board.
Those who made pleas for Nc
Duffie at the pardon meeting Wednes-
day, were Sam Borenstein of the In
ternational Labor Defense, Cecil E.
Newman, editor of the Herald, S. K.
Davis, Communist candidate for gov
ernor, and Asa Mitchell.
Chief Justice John j. Devaney as
sured the persons who spoke in Nc
DUTIES behalf, that the case would
be gone into thoroughly and that the
discrimination against colored inmates
at St. Cloud, charged by Mr.. Davis in
his plea to the board, would also be
investigated.

l, w. Squire Neal of the Neal Nor
tuary, make this statement to clarity
any misunderstanding that has been
brought on following the death CT one
Marie Edwards, who died on July 4th
from an injury received from sky
rocket while watching the celebration
of fireworks at Sumner Field.
Unfortunately, as it quite frequent
ly is the case, the deceased's mother,
who is her nearest relative, lived out
of the city, in Boley, Oklahoma, and
learning through some means of her
daughters misfortune, the mother
wired the Neal Funeral Home, of
which l am head, to embalm and pre-
pare the body Of Marie Edwards for
shipment to Boley, Oklahoma. Upon
receipt of this wire l made inquiry
and learned that the body was at the
County Morgue and that same was
being claimed by one Theo. Woodland,
who operates an undertaking estab-
lishment at 1926 9Th Ave. No., with A.
j. McGavock as embalmer, and in the
confusion the body was released to
Theo. Woodland, who claimed to have
received his authority from a sister
of the deceased, representing the
mother.
This fact was communicated to the
mother by me and I offered to with
draw from the case, but the mother
Immediately wired Mr.. Theo. Wood
ard demanding that he release the re-
mains of one Marie Edwards to w.
Squire Neal, and further informing
Mr.. Woodland that the daughter had
no authority to turn the body over
to him. Mr.. Woodland, on the advice
of Mr.. A. J. McGavock, contrary to
these instructions, refused to release
the remains. I then informed the
mother of this fact and again offered
to withdraw from the case, but the
mother insisted that I secure the re-
mains and prepare same and ship to
Oklahoma. Following these instruc-
lions l was left with no alternative
except to resort to legal action to Sc
cure possession of the body, which l
did, after all attempts at peaceable
and ethical negotiations had failed,
and at no time has anyone questioned
this authority.
All my actions were based upon
