having queerly. She was fidgetlng
around.

We suspected her because she
had wanted to sit in the back seat
of an open cockpit ship.
When noticed she was acting
quecrly. l headed the ship back
toward the airport and dove down
to the 3000-foot level.
At this point she started to get
out. She took off her helmet and
goggles and unbuckled her safety
belt.
| reached over and knocked her
back into the seat.
But that was just the begin
ming of tough struggle.
For the next Is minutes | had
about as much as l could handle,
She fought for all she was
worth. | had to stand up in the
cockpit. "
With one hand | struggled to
keep her in the plane. With the
other I hung onto the stick. b..
| couldn't touch the rudder at
all, so we flew all around over the
outer harbor. I kept trying to
head for the airport, but we'd get
off the course every time.
Once, at 5000 feet, she got one
leg over the side but | got her
back in again all right. Finally,
got ahold of her by the hair. That
seemed to be the best bet.
Then my left arm-the one
was holding her with-started ia
feel cramped and tired. She was
struggling all the time and | could
see I was going to lose her.
With my arm getting tired, she
was beginning to get a bit toe
strong for me. So l had to dc
something pretty fast. "
l managed to get the ship in 8
steep turn and the centrifugal
force threw her back into thu
seat.
That gave me chance tc
change my grip on her from m,
left hand to my right. Then 1 got
the plane down toward the air
port. Just as we reached the edge
of the field. she made last lunge
and started to bail out.
Then, as the wheels touched thu
ground. she stopped Struggling
and slumped. We had "a car come
out on the field and pick her up
then called the police.

Negro's Parents
Get Damages In
Lynching Death
Louisiana Award First of
Kind in Legal History
of the South

NEW ORLEANS, La, May %.
(UP).-The parents of a 16-year-
old negro boy lynched near Aba
dieville, La. in 1888, were award
ed $4,000 damages from Sheriff
Lezin H. Himel of Assumption
parish yesterday by a jury OF
white men in federal court.
1t was probably the first time in
the history of the South that ne
groes won personal damages for
a lynching.
Prosecution witnesses said two
deputy sheriffs delivered the boy
to the mob and that one deputy
abetted the lynchers. The boy,
Fred Moore, was suspected OF
numbering Miss Annie Mae La
Rose, who was found in a cane
field with her throat cut. Later,
the girls stepfather was said to
have confessed to the murder.
The money was awarded to
Louis and Lilly Moore, the par
ents. They sued for $4,000. The
jury deliberated one hour.
Johnston Armstrong, attorney
for the negro couple, told the jury
there was no similar case in Lou
isiana jurisprudence. R. B. Eleaz-
or, education secretary of the
Commission on Interracial Coop
Grafton at Atlanta, said that while
South. Carolina and probably one
or two more southern states had
laws automatically awarding So.
600 damages to the families of
lynched men, against the counties
involved. That he knew OF no
other case in which a negro had
collected damages.
Moore was taken from Jail and
hanged to bridge over Bayou La
Fourche on the night of Oct. IL.
