FRANK DEFENDS STEPHENS

Jerome Frank, brilliant general

charges by other New Dealers that
Assistant Attorney General Harold
Stephens had bungled presentation o(
the "hot oil" case which the govern.

RumOred Death of an
Omahan Denied

1t was rumored on the streets
of maha and in the Pool Halls
and Cafes that Lester Price, a
former Central High school track
star, and a recent graduate Of
Omaha University, was lynched
in Omaha, Texas, or Paris, Texas.
Evidently Paris, considered the
inquiry an insult or of such little
consequence that it did not de-
serve and answer, for we have
had no answer from Paris. How
ever, Omaha, Texas, says, "No.
no. "Lester Price, nor any other
citizen has been lynched here"
Let us hope it is just a rumor.
However, we are still probibing
for facts. Watch this paper for

Alabama Bill Restricts
Jury Service to Voters

Montgomery, Ala, April IA bill
to restrict jury service in Alabama to
qualified voters will be introduced in
the state senate April 80 by Senator
Bonned of Camden, he announced
here this week.
The purpose of the bill is to attempt
to get around the United States Su-
preme Court decision in the Scots
boro case.
Observers were quick to see the
connection between the U. S. su-
preme courts decisions in the Texas
primary case and the Scottsboro case.
Although the Scottsboro decision was
a great victory, southerners immed-
lately ted it up with the Texas decis-
ion denying Negroes the right to vote
in the Democratic primaries and Sem
ator Bonner's proposed bill is the re-
suit of their study of ways and means
to still exclude Negroes from jury
service.
Senator Bonner's bill brings to the
front once more the great Importance
of the various primary fights which
have been carried on in the past ten
years and which on occasion have
been denounced as useless" by some
persons who did not. realize their i'm
portance.
Supported by a decision which eff
fectively DISTINGUISHES Negroes it is
possible that re~actionary elements in
the South will be able to base all sorts
of discrimination against the Negro
upon the requirement Of their being
qualified voters. This is what hap
pened in New Orleans in 1888 when
the city council attempted to pass a
resolution restricting employment on
q huge bridge, a public works project
to registered voters.
1t was announced in New York that
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People is MAX
ing a study of the recent Texas pri-
mary decision with a view to taking
whatever legal action is possible to
offset it.

Judge Raps Practice of
Dircrediting Testimony
of Race i'm Court Trials
By. S. B. Wallace

Augusta, Ga. April LAMP
Judge William HI. Barrett, in his
charge 10 the jury in the case Of
John 7. Witt, charged with the
theft of a mail pouch, that he
thought it was time for the court
to comment on the proposition
that a Negro should not be given
the same recognition in courts as
members of the Anglo-Saxon race.
Previously there had been an
argument Of the defense attorney,
in which the latter had contended
that this case was one in which
the United States had little real
interest-that it was a case be-
ween two races and that no one
should take the testimony. Of a
Negro against a white man.
He was referring to the testi-
mony offered by Robert Everson,
a colored man, who admitted the
theft of a mail pouch as well as
two mail sacks and implicated
Witt, a white man, through a
written confession.
The government position was
hat Witt and Everson planned
the felonies after holding a con-
versation on hard times and that
Everson snatched the bag from
the mail room of the Union Sta
ton, signalled Witt who drove
his taxi around the park in front
of the station, to a gas station
nearby where Everson joined
him.
The jury brought in a sealed
verdict in Wits case.
"Things have come to a pretty
pass" the court said, "when a
person was not believed on the
witness stand because of his
color. If the time ever comes
when a man is not believed be-
cause Of his race, we shall have
taken a long step toward destroy
ing our government. When
justice fails to come from the
jury box, it is high time to raze
our courthouses and abolish our
jury system"
He also referred to the practice
in slavery days Of rejecting the
testimony Of a slave. A man could
commit murder and get away
with it if the only witness was a
slave.
