Senate Approves
Anil Lynch Bill

WASHINGTON, June = (CNA)
The Wagner-Van Mugs Anti-Lynch-
ing bill was approved last week by
Senate Judiciary Committee Sub
Committee. Chairman Van Nuys
(Dem., Ind of the subcommittee,
said he hoped to win approval OF the
bill by the full committee within few
days, thereby sending the measure to
the Senate.
The action of the subcommittee
followed on the heels of ruling by
the Alabama Supreme Court to the
effect that connivance of law officer
with a lynching mob is not negligence
or criminality in office. In four to
two decision, the Alabama court &C
Quilted Sheriff J. L. Corbitt on charg-
es of negligence, grave fault, conni-
vance and cowardice," filed by Attor-
ney General Albert A., Carmichael at
the request of Governor Bib Graves.
Witnesses testified that the Sheriff
had received ample warning of the
mob's intentions but refused to take
any measures for the protection of his
prisoner.
-Lynched wrong Man"
Carmichael told the court that Yves
Johnson, 20-year-old farmland, lynch
ed by the mob, was innocent of any
crime and was known by the Sheriff
to be innocent when he arrested him
on charge of attacking" a white
woman.
"We can show that Johnson was
four miles away at IL 80, (the time
of the alleged attack, and we car
show it by testimony unimpeachablt
in all southeast Alabama, Carmlchae
said.
No member of the mob that lynchet
young Johnson has been arrested, al
though the mob leaders are known
The Wagner-Van Mugs bill, lik'
the Gavagan measure recently passed
by the House, provides for the use o
federal power to force state prosecu
ton of lynchers. 1t would make ;
local peace officer guilty of felon,
and subject to a fine up to $4,000, OF
Imprisonment up to five years, or both
for failure to protect prisoner or tc
arrest a lynching mob. The U. 5
Attorney General would be given au
thority to prosecute failing action by
| the states.
The bill is backed by the Nationa
| Association for the Advancement o
Colored People, the National Negro
Congress and hundreds of labor un
ions, churches and civic groups.
