Judge James E. Horton and twice by
the United States Supreme Court, ia
determined to push forward with the
persecution of the S~cottsbero BOYS.
whose innocence Of the crime for
which they were indicted and tried has
been overwhelmingly proved.
This information, given out BY Lieut.
Gov. Thomas Knight, Jr., who as at
torney general Of Alabama served as
chief prosecutor in the three trials
since 1881, comes on the heels of a de-
cision Monday Of the nations highest
court that Alabama erred when it
cluded members of the Race from the
jury panel in the Scottsboro cases,
and that trial of the cases, even in a
southern state, must conform with
the provision of the National Consti-
tuition.
The Judgment Of the Supreme
Court is an outstanding victory for the
Race and is being so hailed through
out the country.
-Four years of ~unceasing pounding Of
world protest by millions of workers.

paved the way for the liberation of

who has been active in support
ing the Costigan- Wagner anti.
lynching bill, sent an additional
check to the N. A. A. @. P. this
week along with the following
comment
Il am glad to learn that there
is likelihood that if the bill is
forced to a vote it will pass both
houses. Regardless Of what the
outcome may be, it seems to me
that every lover of orderly gov.
eminent is obligated to support
this effort for the outlawry of
mob violence. Such a bill of
course, will not of itself cure
lynching, but it will at least serve
notice to the world that the gov.
ernmen is opposed to such a
crime"
