Rush to Adjourn May Sidetrack
Anti-Lynch bill Unless Senator'S
Hear from Home: Act Quickly

Washington, d. c., July %
The death of Senator Joseph
b. Robinson majority leader
of the Senate has thrown Wash
ington circles into a turmoil and
may result in grave danger to
the anti-lynehing bill.
The Senate was being dri-
ven through a hot summer ses-
sion by Senator Robinson, lead
er of the administration forces,
in an effort to get action on the
Presidents suprme court bill /:
With the death of the leader,
there is talk on all sides OF
dropping the court bill and GO
ing home speedily.
IL those opposed to the court
bill are able to have their way,
they will sidetrack it by recon-
hitting it to committee AMI
then dump overheard all con-
troverhial legislation, and drive
for a quick adjournment.
Unless the friends of the anti
iynching bin act with speed,
the measure will be pushed to
one side in the mad scramble
10 wind up Senate business and
adjourn.

Norris Is Convicted in Scottsboro Trial
N. A. A. C.. p. Holds
Meeting at Center

On Tuesday, July 18th, the
NAACP held a very interest
ing meeting at the Urban Lea
que Community Center at 8
p. m. with the president DR..
Wesley Jones, presiding and
secretary Charles 7. Davies
and a group Of citizens. A very
interesting meeting was held.
Mr.. Chester McDaniels filed a
a compliant with the Associa-
ton about an insult he reeeiv-
ed in the White Castle Ham
burger Stand on oath and Lea
venworth. Atty. Ralph Adams
registered a case with the local
branch about the Jones Bros,
junk dealers, and secondhand
automobile statesmen of Norfolk,
Nebr. Chairman of the Legal
Redress Committee Senator
John Adams, jr. made the fol
lowing statement concerning
the Jones Bros. case at Norfolk
"The Jones Bros. and their Sis
ter. who were born, reared and
educated at Norfolk, Nebr. had
built up a substantial worth
while business and seemingly
had a choice location. They
had made application for Ii
cense with the city council and
had been refused and the po-
lice department had ordered
thin to chose their business.
When they went to see the
city officials concerning their
case the chief of police had or
dered them out Of the city hall
and told them that if they were
seen around there again, they
would be thrown in JAIL,
A motion was made by Mr..
c.. c. Galloway, that the secre-
tary of the NAACP would be
instructed to write a letter in
forming the Jones Bros. that if
they would fray the expense,
the Omaha Local Branch would
make a thorough investigation
o f the status of their case.

Woman Eye Jumps Out

One Of the most extraordi-
nary eases in medical history
occurred Monday, June %,
when the left eye of Mrs. Sar-
all Mills Of 2029 N. 21st street,
completely jumped out of It's
socket and hung suspended by
a tiny particle of flesh on her
left cheek.
According to a statement by
Mrs. Mills, she started suffer
ing severe pains on the left side
Of her head and in her left eye
Monday morning at her home.
Later that day she went to the
home Of her daughter, Mrs.
Dora Brown, 2019 Grace St.,
where the latter applied ice to
relieve the pain. But nothing
seemed to offer any relief, and
at about midnight, unable to re-
tire, Mrs. Mills was sitting on
the porch, without any warn
ing, her eye jumped out.
Greatly alarmed, her daugh-
ter and son-in-law tried to sum-
mon a doctor, but owing to the
lateness Of the hour, were un-
able to do so and the police
were called. 1t took a great deal
of explaining to persuade them
that Mrs. Mills had not been as

81 will appeal the sentence to

That was the grim statement
of Chief Defense Counsel Sam
Liebowitz Of New York as
Clarence Norris first of the
eight Negroes to go on trial in
the lew chapter of the Scots
b0ro cases, was sentenced to
death Thursday afternoon by
an all-white jury in the court
of Judge W. w. ("Speed") Cal
lahan. M
Despite holes torn by the de-
tense in the testimony of Mrs.
Victoria Price, complaining
witness, Judge Callahan all but
asked the jury to bring in a
verdict Of guilty in his charge
to them Thursday afternoon.
He said "'the law would au-
thorize conviction on Victoria
Prices testimony alone"
However, he added, "This
suit is not Victoria Price YER
sus Clarence Norris, but the
State of Alabama versus Clar-
ence Norris Victoria Price has
no more to do with this case
than any other woman. She was
called and brought here by the

81 also want you to remem-
Der that where the woman is
white, there is a strong presum-
ption under the law that she
did not yield to the advances

This is the third time in
more than six years of the case
that Norris has heard himself
condemned to die in the electric
chair. Twice he has been saved
by the U. S. Supreme court. He
hopes that again the nations

Mitchell Loses Appeal
For New Hearing;
May Die August 10th

Clarksdale, Miss, July %
(ANP)-William Clark Nit
chell, 55-year-old white World
war veteran who burned a
Negro father and son to death
in a robbery, Tuesday, lost his
appeal for a new hearing ON
his mental condition before Cir
cult Court Judge j. M. Kuyen-
dali at Coffeyville and was
again sentenced to be hanged.
The date is August goth.
For the torch murder of
Louis and Coot Bryant in Yalo-
busha county during 1872, Nit
chell has been sentenced to die
six times and has been saved
five times. The state supreme
court upheld his death sentence
and the goyrnor refused to in
tervene after the slaye was
found sane in examination by
state doctors, but his life was
saved through a writ of error.
coram nobis issued on the
ground that questions of sanity
had not been properly brought
before the court.
Gaddis Williams, white, state
commander of Disabled Veter-
ans Of the World war, declared
after the hearing Tuesday that
he believed Mitchell would es-
cape the gallows since 1--WE do
not believe him sane" His at
torneys announced a new ap-
peal to the state supreme court.
There is considerable resent
ment in some circles against
breaking precedent and hangi-
ing a white man for the muir
der of colored people.

saulted by someone, as they
could not conceive the idea of
a PERSONS eye voluntarily jump
ing out of its socket.
She was rushed to the County
Hospital where the case was
met with even greater constern-
alton. DR.. Martin, the attend
ing physician, had no alterna-
tive, an operation was immed-
lately performed and the dan
Cling eye was removed. SO rare
was the case that physicians
from Omaha and various parts
of the state made studies of
the patient.
This case has been declared
by doctors as one OF the most
phenominol in their experience,
and the eye which is now pre-
served in alcohol at the hospi-
tai is one more puzzling factor
for medical science to solve.
Mrs. Mills, who can be seen
joyfully going about her daily
activities, is regarded by doc
tors as a person of unusual
physical stamina to have over
come such a rafety and to still
retain the sight of her other
eye.
