QUICK JUSTICE
SET FOR KILLER
District Attorney Promises
Action On Slayer
OF Children

BENFoRD CENTER, N. Y,
Sept. 16-tRE Reflecting the grim,
but "emotionally cold sober" at
titude of this grief-stricken town,
District Attorney Ebert Gallagher
tonight promised quick justice for
a youth accused as the kidnap-
murderer of two small sisters.
This gruesome case will go to
the Westchester County Grand
Jury as quickly as we can prepare
the necessary documents" Cal
lagher said, ''It's clear-cut case
of the most cruel sort of crime"
Edward Haight, 17-year-old
Stamford, Conn.,, laborer who con-
fessed binding, gagging and rap
ing Helen Lynch, 8, and Margaret,
7, after Turin them into a stolen
station wagon Monday night was
held without bail by justices of the
peace in two separate arraign-
ments, to await action of the Grand
Jury.
He was taken to the Eastview
County Jail, stones throw from
the Grasslands hospital where the
mother of the slain children has
been a tuberculosis patient for six
years If indicted and convicted
Haight faces the death penalty or
life Imprisonment.
Chief of Police Frank Mallette of
the town of bedford, where the
children lived and were criminally
attacked, said no fancy psycholo-
gical terms were needed to des-
cribe Haight.
'He's just a plain damned no.
good punk" Mallette said.
Mallette acting on police tele-
type report ''hunch'' at 8 a. m.
Tuesday morning alone was credit
ed for organizing an eight-state
hunt, which brought the cooperation
of city, county and state police and
drew suspicion to Haight in his
Stamford home, IA miles away.
Within II hours after this "coun-
try cop" started to draw the net
around the criminal, Haight had
been captured, and gave a full
confession to Connecticut State Po-
lice at Westport.
His confession was hatingly re-
peated to Is police, district at
torney attaches, local officials and
townspeople in the Bedford Hills
police station early this morning.
There was no third degree"
Chief Mallette said. 1--WE sat in the
upstairs court room In plain sight
of the crowds outside and drew the
story from him.
''Haight lied several times at
first. At one particularly crusome
admission about one of the girls,
their father, Patrick Lynch made
a lunge at him, but controlled him
self in time.
''He seemed rational enough in
his answers, but it was necessary
for priest, doctor and others
to join in the quests ming
way the fathers in that room went
was grim, decisiveness in the
about solving one of the most hei-
nous crimes ever committed here.
'"There is no doubt that many
good citizens thought in terms of
retaliation for this crime, but
everybody went about it's solution
in the civilized, legal way-emo-
tionally cold SOBER"

AT LEAST 3 Die
IN TRAIN WRECK
Passenger Limited Plows
Into Freight Train
In Illinois

CHARLESTON, ILL.,, Sept. 16-P
The Southwestern Limited, swift
passenger train on the New York.
st. Louis route, rammed head-on
into a standing oil freight train to
day at Ashmore, killing at least
three persons and injuring at least
seven others.
Coroner Horace Clark of Coles
county reported he was certain that
three persons, including the engl-
neer and fireman of the limited.
had lost their lives in the col
Ision.
Seven injured persons were rush
ed to hospitals here.
The limited was making its reg
ular run on the Big Four division
of the New York Central system
and was enroute to St. Louis from
New York via Buffalo, Cleveland
and Indianapolis when it plowed
into the freight.
John Rardin, published Of the
Charleston Daily News who hur-
ried to the site of the crash and
talked with members of the crew
and witnesses, related that the en-
g.nes were locked by the impact
and turned over on their sides.
He added that six passenger
cars were derailed, that one pitch
ed over on its side and that three
oil cars piled up and caught fire.
Ambulances were dispatches
from Charleston and NATION and
fire trucks from Charleston and
Kansas, Ill.
Rardin said the east-bound oil
freight was idle on siding at the
eastern edge of Ashmore, waiting
for the west-hound limited to pass.
He said the limited struck an open
automatic switch, veered from the
main line onto the siding and
crashed into the engine of the
freight train.
He said the engineer of the
freight was standing safely on the
right-of-way and that his fireman
leaped to safety. He reported the
passenger engineer perished in the
wreckage and that the fireman was
trapped and scalded to death in
his cab.

Ask Federal
Action on Attack
on Ministers

NEW YORK Federal action
is Imperative" to redress the beat
ing of Baptist ministers DR.. J. C.
Jackson, 76, Hartford, Conn.,, presi-
dent of the New England Baptist
conference, and Rev. S. A. Young,
Washington, D. c., on Sept. 8, the
N.A.A.C.P. told President Roose-
welt. The N.A.A.C.P. has offered
legal assistance to the ministers.
The N.A.A.C.P. wire told how
DR.. Jackson, passenger on a
Memphis-bound train, was struck
in the face, breaking his eye-glass-
es and cutting his eyes and lips,
because a white passenger objected
to the minister's passing through
the white coach on the way from
the dining car to his seat. Rev.
Young was also struck and his eye
glasses broken for the same reason.
Pointed out to the President was
similar attack on Prof. H. M.
Gloster of Morehouse college, who
was thrown off a train at Tupelo,
Miss, on Sept. 2 by policemen and
conductor, beaten, imprisoned and
fined, because he requested that
Negroes standing in the jim-crow
car be permitted to sit in an empty
white car adjoining.
''This association has presented
to the U. S. Attorney General and
the Office of Defense Transport
tation the facts in other brutal
assaults on Negro soldiers in
trains, buses and other public car
riers in the South" the wire stated.
'"This association has done all
within its limited power to secure
redress. But there is a limit to
human endurance. It is apparent
that subversive forces in the South
are deliberately provoking some
of these attacks, hoping that riots
and other clashes may occur" the
N.A.A.C.P. statement continued.
'"Those responsible for such at
tacks are destroying at a terrible
rate the already low morale of 10
million American Negroes. In do
ing so they injure Americas war
effort and effectively aid the cause
of the Axis. We submit that the
situation is so grave that federal
action is imperative"

Gavagan Anti
Lynch Bill Is
Shelved by Cong.

Washington, Sept. IA. - Anti
lynching legislation introduced by
Rep. Joseph Gavagan (D.-N.Y.) is
in the hands of the House Judiciary
Committee, headed by reactionary

stay there until forced out by a

A spokesman for the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People said that no cur
rent campaign was being waged to
force action on the bill, because
other problems produced by the
war-such as discrimination in in
dustry-seem more important and
demand immediate attention"
