The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1936-08-08

NEW YORK-(Calvin Service
Flash)-Like a bombshell explod-
ing on the western front, the news
burst in Harlem Thursday morn
ing that Millionaire Bob Vann" Of
Pittsburgh had been left out of the
Democratic campaign set-up by
Chairman James A. Farley. Daz-
ed by the sock, Harlem at first
could hardly believe the news. But
when the cryptic statement from
Democratic headquarters in the
Biltmore hotel was read and re-
read, and nowhere in the state
ment appeared the name of Vann,
there was nothing else to do but
believe the impossible had happen
ed
In making the announcement,
which he reduced to writing so
there could be no mistake, Chair
man Farley said Julian d. Rainey
of Boston would head the Eastern
among colored voters,
with headquarters in New York,
an dCongressman Arthur w. Nit
chell would head the Western cam
paign, with headquarters in Chi
cago. Not even DR.. William j.

cally staying the execution.
Hearing on a permanent writ
was scheduled to be held Wednes-
day morning, Aug 8, one week af-
ter the temporary writ was grant
ed.
Bethea is charged with Grimm
ally assaulting and numbering
Mrs. Eliza Edwards, 20, white, al
greensboro on June Z. He was
convicted in the Daviess county
circuit court June 20 and sentenc
ed to die at sunrise Friday. He
was waiting at Jefferson county
Jail and Mrs. Florence Thompson,
Dayiess county sheriff and moth
er, was supervising construction
of the gallows when the writ was
granted.
torney's-all Negro firts appeared
Wednesday before Judge Gus
Thomas of the Kentucky appellate
court who declined to permit the
filing of an appeal on the ground
that the pleadings as presented
enough ground for a ruling either
were insufficient and did not give
way. His action, however, left the
ground open for filing further
pleadings and additional records.
In the petition presented to
Judge Hamilton, the attorneys
argued the defense counsel ap-
pointed by the Davies circuit
court amounted to no counsel at
all as they refused to let Bethea
or his witnesses take the stand and
advised him to plead guilty. Fear
of mob violence also caused the
youth to plead guilty, the petit
ton set forth, but since then Be-
thea has constantly proclaimed
his innocence.
AS soon as the writ was grant
ed, Judge Hamilton talked by
telephone with Gov. A. B. Chand-
Ter and Atty. Gen. Beverly w. iVn-
cent. A stay of execution was not
necessary as the writ ordered
Jailer Martin Connors to present
Bethea for the hearing Wednesday
which automatically prevented his
being turned over to Daviess coun-
ty officials and the possibility Of
a lynching by frustrated whites
of that area.
The writ was granted soon af-
ter construction of the gallows
was started in the yard of a gar
age a block from the county Jail.
Newspaper correspondents and
photographers arrived at Owens
boro by plane to witness the hang
ing and knowing of the postpone
ment. A crowd of 10000 whites
was expected to be on hand.
States Attorney Herman A.
Birkhead said Immediately after
wards that he will resist all eff
forts to obtain a retrial. Birkhead
prosecuted the case and obtained
passage of the death sentence. He
was due to appear at the hearing
for a permanent writ, taking with
him a transcript of the evidence.

get at and hadn't.
But when she started task she
soon found herself doing some
thing else. She was restless, un-
able to settle down to anything
1t was surely perverse fate that
for the first time in weeks she had
very little work. She didn't feel like
going CIT and calling at studios
where size wasn't known. She had
a list from the Models League and
there we're several on it that she
hadn't visited, but she hated to be
away from the apartment. She
thought possibly some word might
come from Tim.
He hadn't said anything about
calling her over long distance, but
still Toby thought he might. Not
that there was any reason for it
Just to assure her that he was all
right and would be home soon
Harriet's fiance, Clyde Sabin, often
called her when he was out Of
town.
Part of the time Toby argued with
herself that she was sure to hear
from Tim. At other times she made
excuses for him. Why should he
write or call when he was only to
be gone few days? He hadn't been
definite about it. She didn't know
If "a few days" meant two or three
or even four. Surely it couldn't be
more than that!
TIME first day dragged to close
Il and the second went even more
slowly. Harriet, coming in late in
the afternoon, saw Toby curled up
on the davenport, a discarded maya
zine at her feet.
Harriet knew that Tim was away,
though Toby hadn't told her where
he'd gone. She thought Harriet
might be inclined to criticise if she
knew. Harriet seemed to think Tim
should have a job.
Hello" Harriet said, taking off
her hat and tossing it on chair.
Whats new?"

Toby wasn't much interested, but
she waited for Harriet to go on.
"Well-?"

Tomatoes, elephants, and peppers
require the entire growing season to
develop. The seed must be sown and
the young plants started at least six
10 eight weeks before they are to be
planted in the garden.
Early cabbage, caulif1ower, broc-

that young plants will be available
in the early spring for outdoor
planting.
BY planting the seed of lettuce

starting cantaloupe, squash or GU
