AIR LYNCHINC
CASE IN COURT
Alabama Sheriff Testifies
He Tried To Save Life
OF Negro

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 5.
(UP)-Sheriff J. /. Corbitr of
Henry county, fighting impeach-
ment charges before the Alabama
Supreme Court, testified yester-
day that he did Everything pos
sible" to prevent the lynching of
Wesley Johnson.
johnson, a negro, was accused
of attacking Mrs. Rupert Bond,
wife of a Henry county farmer.
State officials instituted action
for impeachment of the sheriff,
charging he did not attempt to
save the negro who was taken
from the Henry county Jail this
spring.
Before Corbitt went to the
witness stand in his own behalf
today, Attorney General A. A.
Carmichael of Alabama charged
that "the wrong negro" had been
lynched by the mob.
Carmichael, leading the prose
cution, said the state could show
the sheriff knew Johnson was in
nocent and that public indigna-
ton had forced Corbitt to arrest
the wrong negro"
Corbitt forcefully denied a
charge of Capt. Potter Smith of
the State Highway patrol that he
went back to bed" after Johnson
had been taken by the mob.
eve did everything possible to
prevent them taking the priso-
ner," he said. "After they took
him, ] and a deputy, A. b. Roney,
rode al miles until daylight try
ing to find the mob"
The sheriff named nine men as
members Of the lynching party,
asked by Carmichael why he did
not swear out warrants for their
arrest, he said:
"The grand jury was going to
meet and | planned to testify be-
fore it."
For the record, he said he had
identified Robert Kirkland, Tom
Mccoy, Hes Bond, Nose Bond,
Rupert Bond, John White, Cratas
and Grant Written and Eek
Wood. He denied previous charg-
es, however, that OWE Wright had
been in the party.
With his testimony corroberat-
ed by Deputy Roney, Corbitt said
he resisted the mob when it came
to the Jail and demanded keys to
Johnson'S cell.
"I'll die before I'll give you
those keys" he said he told the
leaders.
Earlier today, Rupert Bond,
whose wife allegedly was the VIC
tim of the negro, denied he was a
member of the mob.
Corbitt'S statement completed
defense presentations. Reburtal
testimony and final arguments are
scheduled for tomorrow afternoon
and the case was expected to be
given to the court late in the day.

From the story "Toomai of the

"Toomai," a young Indian boy,
became an acclaimed elephant
hunter. This film is quite out of
the ordinary. My Lord, the Ele-
plant, his native habitat, capture

and what may be called his social
organization makes the basis of
the story. Sabu, the Indian boy,
who, himself descended from a
line of elephant mahouts, lives ra-
Their than acts the role of Toomai,
displays sincerity and rare charm
of personality. A worthwhile film
for all audiences.

Of Italy in Ethiopia

London.-The Christian Endeavor
Times, in an editorial headed THE
Adds Ababa Massacre" says: THE
reports of events in Adds Ababa
following the attempt on the life OF
Marshal GRAHAM have filled the
world with horror. A brutal indls-
criminate massacre of a large sec
ton of the inhabitants by Italian
forces let loose to kill by all bar
barous means took place.
THAT the reports are true is evil
dent from the cautious, reserved
statements of our own Foreign
Office on information that has come
to it, confirming in part the stories
circulated. Lord Cranborne, Under
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, reply
ing to Lt.-Commander Fletcher, in
the House of Commons, said it was
difficult to secure precise details, but
information received tended to show
that scenes of grave disorder oc-

prisals of a severe character were
taken by Italian soldiers, resulting
in a large number of deaths.
"Lt.-Commander Fletcher then
asked: is the Minister aware that
reports published by eye-witnesses
state that these reprisals were car
ried out with a savagery almost be-
yond description and represent the
worst atrocities in Africa since the
Congo atrocities?'
"Viscount Cranborne replied: l
am aware that there have been re-
ports, and I am sorry to say that
our reports tend partially to bear
them out.

is it to be supposed that the British
nation would acquiesce in Mussollms

Voice Of the Legion

Perhaps the greatest sufferers
from armed conflict, or the results
If armed conflicts are the mothers.
Sweethearts, while sorely dis
tressed at the loss of their lovers, are
Young and plant to the vicissitudes
of life, and find that time usually
heals the wounds, and often they
find other attractions, which almost
completely eradicate the memory OF
the boy who marched away.
This may be said too, of many
wives: for most of them are still
young, but this can never be said
of mothers.
The maternal instinct that makes
her feel that her boy is never quite
grown up, that he can never quite
take care of himself, helps to make
the loss of her boy, who has been
her life interest for probably twenty
years, more of a burden than the
hardships of the field, or the nostal-
gia, which is a part of every soldiers
lot.
Aside from the going away of her
boy, nothing is more poignant than
the return. The fear that he is
hiding an injury, that there is some
thing wrong which he does not real
ize, that hidden weaknesses will
develop, take away a great deal of
the joys of homecoming.
