.CCCBOyS, ONCE
SENTENCED To
GO FREE
Third Youth Given Short
Term In Georgia
Murder Case

MONTICELLO, Ga, April
2S-The full story of the
heroic defense OF three CCC
boys by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Ben
Warren, white, both lawyers,
has Just been made public.
The three boys. Nathaniel Wright,
/ Willie Richardson and William
Sneed. we're convicted last year Of
murder in the first degree without
a recommendation OF mercy in con-
nection with the death OF maa
named Scrap Gilstrap.
The Warrens defended the three
lads, filed notice OF appeal and
| fought the case through on a second
trial in which Wright received three
years, Richardson 20 years and
Sneed, life.
Still refusing to give up, and
convinced OF the absolute innocence
/ OF Wright ard Richardson, the
Warrens fought on for the boys
dom in a severely hostile atmos-
phere.
Just recently they secured full
pardon for Nathaniel Wright COM
mutation OF Richardson's sentence
from 20 years TO the time which
he has already served. Both have
:; been released. Sneed's sentence OF
life Imprisonment was commuted
by Governor Dixon 10 three years
[ in a prison camp.
Scrap" Picks Fight
Gilstrap became involved in an
alteration with some OF the CCC
boys, who were in the habit Of
coming to his home for a good time
on their off days He picked fight
with one OF the boys who bears a
striking-resernblance to Wright, but
Wright was not present.
In the midst OF the fight Sneed
admits that he drew knife and
Gilstrap was cut. Richardson ran
up to stop the fight but had nothing
whatsoever to do with it,
The Warrens we're determined to
free Richardson and Wright Their
task was made doubly difficult be
cause the county in which Monti-
cello is located is the county Of the
famous murder farm" Of the John
Williams peonage case years ago.
Also, Gilstrap was a day laborer
for white plantation owner who
is politically popular in the county
and his influence was with the
prosecution at all times.
Fight Case without Fee
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren fought the
case through for practically no fee,
They were assisted with expenses
by the Interracial commission OF
Atlanta and the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of Col
ored People in New York City.

Dual Job Holding

There seems to be a feeling that the 1889 Legislature will pass bill to end dual job holding in the Connecticut gov ernment. However, the present Legisla- ture will protect its members by exempt- ing from the bill's provisions now holding such offices. Tn short the bill won't apply until two years hence, At that time any body who might be holding state or county office that comes within the pre- scribed positions would not be eligible for either the House or Senate. This is con- cession to patronage purely,
 As we understand it many legislators now may seek state or county offices with the realization that they will be good for almost two years or perhaps longer if they care to sacrifice their legis- lative careers. And we don't imagir that there will be many who will regret losing the legislative jobs if they are assured of a choice state or county position .ich may last for four years and certainly will be more remunerative. All in all con- sessions made in effort to pass a dual job-holding bill prove conclusively that patronage still rules the roost at Hart ford.
 If this is the case what chance can there be for such important legislation as the court reform measure? How can various other governmental reforms be accomplished, notably departmental reor- ganization? A splendid opportunity to display courage has been offered by this dual job bill and we certainly don't think that concessions to party patronage prove that our legislators are overly anxious for the bill to pass at all. If they aren't, 1t would be far better for them to come right out and declare themselves than to sup port the theory and let it go at that.
