Ny dear Mr.. Murphy:
My attention has Just been CALI

lean for October IA. This refers
to a story in Pm Of October 8,
which states that, in discussing

of the Criminal Division of the
Department, and Mr.. Victor w.

papers as follows:
Il neither speak nor think in
the terms Of the language CHROME

LIBERTY, MISS. - The ANTE
County Grand Jury, breaking with
Southern tradition, has indicted
six white men for the murder of
a Negro.
The Grand Jury, which had been
expected to close the case with
Whitewash, apparently yielded to
The indirect pressure of Attorney
General Francis Biddle who had
denounced the staying of Isaac
Simmons, G6 year old preacher,
as particularly revolving crime.
Murder indictments against Har
per Dawson and his two sons,
Roger and Mann Dawson; Noble
and Norville Ryder, brothers, and
John Brown, a friend of the Daw-
sons and the Ryders, were handed
up Wednesday after a weeks i'm
eestigation. The men were ar
raignod yesterday, pleaded not
guilty.
$4,000 Bail
Judge r. L. Bennett accepted 3d.,
600 bail for each man, then grant
ed severances permitting each of
the six men to be tried separate
y, placing the case on the trial
docket for next Monday.
Brown explained that under
Mississippi law severances are
mandatory when asked for, and
that murder is not measured by
degree, but the punishment, life
imprisonment or death, is fixed
by the jury if 1t is unanimous in
its verdict of guilty.
Witnesses Disappear
Early last week, when the Grand
Jury took up the Simmons case
it appeared that the inquil Y woult
collapse hecarsc four key witness
es were missing, including Ed
ridge Simmons. son Of the ageC
victim, who had signed an aft
davit describing the murder Of his
| father and naming four Of the
accused men.
Sheriff Wiley Smith explained
| at the time that the missing Ne
groes had vanished from the com
munity for some reason he was
at a loss to explain. He said the
case might be shelved for lack Of
evidence, but Attorney General
| Biddle at Washington announc-
ed that report on an FBl in
vestigation of the crime was be
| ing given to the Amilite County
prosecutor with a request that il
be placed before the Grand Jury
| Biddle disclosed that he ordet
ed the FB probe in August wher
he learned that, although the mur
der occurred in March 26, no &C

shows that a particularly revolt
