Five Mississ ippians
Cleared In Lynching

HATTIESBURG, Miss.-lSNS)-
Five white men, indicted under
federal civil rights statutes in the
lynching last year of Howard
Wash, stood acquitted Sunday.
A federal court jury, Saturday
freed Luther Holder, Jones county
deputy sheriff and jailer; Barney
Jones, factory worker, and Allen
Pryor, also factory worker, whose
signed confession as to his part
in the atrocity was admitted as evil
dence over the protests of defense
counsel.
Earlier in the week, William Os-
car Johnson, farmer, and, Nathan
lei Shots, clerk, were set free on
directed verdicts by U. S. District
Judge Sidney Mize on motion by
the government that it had failed
TO produce any evidence connect
ing them with the crime.
Thus ended the first federal ac-
ton taken against white men in
a southern lynching in 40 years.
Federal Judge Mize polled the jury
and found the verdict was unani-
nous. The defendants thanked the
jurors for granting them freedom
and said they had been given a
fair trial
The trial created one of the big
gest sensations ever witnessed in
this section of the South.
Sheriff j. Pross Reddock gave
testimony identifying members of
the mob and against Holder, the
iaiier, who failed 70 foley orders
laid down by the cneriff in the
event a lynching attempt was made.
