Mississippi
Lynch Trial
Is Started

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (ANP) -
Five white men. one of them dep
uty sheriff. went on trial Monday
in federal court for violation OF U.
S. Civil Rights statutes in connec-
ton with the lynching last October
of Howard Wash, 40. following his
conviction and mandatory life sem
tence for Staying Clint Welborn,
white, SIS, his dairy farm employer.
This is the first case Of its type
since 1903 when similar action was
taken in Alabama courts, and fol-
lows arraignment of the five de-
PENDANTS Monday. April IL. before
Federal Judge Sidney Mize.
The five defendants. all OF whom
pleaded rot guilty. are: Luther
Holder. As, deputy sheriff and jailer;
Nathaniel T. Shots. %, grocery
clerk; Allen Pryor, "a, pipe filter;
Barney Jones, 3S. plant employee
and William Oscar johnson. 81,
farmer.
The indictment charges all five
with conspiring to deprive Wash OF
his life without due process OF law.
and a separate count charges Hold
er with refusing to protect the vic
tim from a mob of white men who
took Wash from the Jones county
jail the night OF last October i6
and left his body hanging from
bridge. All five defendants are
from Laurel. Miss. or vicinity.
The trial was expected to con-
sumo considerable time because OF
the large number OF witnesses,
Those who were to testify for the
government included Circuit Judge
E. Burkett Collins. Dist. Atty. Alex
ander Currie. Miss Alice Carter,
Jones county circuit court clerk.
and 1t. Col. James L. Davis. former
state adjutant general in charge
Of troops which Gov. Paul B. John
son called out upon being advised
Of the violence.
Earl Wingo of the defense coun-
sci said rs witnesses had been SUBJ
penaed by the defense.
The case came under federal jur-
isdiction when a state court grand
jury failed to take action in the
lynching despite the pleas OF Gov
ernor Johnson. U S. action removes
the site Of the trial from the To-
cality Of the lyrching and permits
the use Of jurors from the entire
federal district instead Of just from
Jones county. The district includes
so counties.

the government attorneys expressed
surprise at failure Of the defense to
demur TO indictments Frank Cole

means freedom for all people Many
Negro soldiers, sailors. and airmen

I. We note that there are forces
abroad which seek to capitalize on
the new and progressive militancy
OF the Negro. which stresses equal

TO divert this militancy into anti

noisy and alarming. it is our con-

used for the purchase of War
bonds.
When the war is over and
peace comes, Mrs. Ferguson
would like to play again for the
same group of service men she
has met in the camps. She would
like to see whether they will want
the same music then as they do
now; or if their overseas expert
ences will give them a global out
look toward music.
Like many present-day musi-
clans she foresees a great era of
melodic music in the years that
will follow the close of the war,
and she would like more than
anything else to have a part in
writing and playing the music of
a country at peace.
Mrs. Ferguson is a quiet sort of
person, almost shy, and she
doesn't take herself too seriously.
At her home in Kenwood she
works in the garden a little,
makes a dress now and then for
her 8-year-old daughter, Lucille,
now in Somerset School and, of
course, keeps up her study of
music.
The fact that she has two
small children does not keep her
from carrying on her camp-en-
tertainment activities. Instead of
leaving them at home with a
nurse when she started Oh her
first tour she packed. their bags
and took Them along; and she is
probably one Of the few profess
sional women who has taken her
children with her on her concert
