SLAYER OF JAILER
IS LYNCHED

LAGRANGE, Ga, Nov. 16
(ANP) ).-Generally recorded here
by Negroes as another of the many
streamlined legal" lynchings re-
sorted to by Dixie mobs in recent
years was the fatal shooting near
Rock Mile, Ala, of Robert Lee,
wanted for the bludgeoning to
death of a white jailer, Arthur
Harris.
Harris died in a hospital from
blows about the head, allegedly ad-
ministered by Lee, who is from
Hogansville, Ga. Lee is said to have
taken the keys to the Jail and es-
capped. He had been arrested on a
burglary charge.
A few minutes after news of
Harris death spread throughout
the community, q large mob of an
CRY whites gathered and led by
Troupe County Sheriff E. V. Hill
yer began a search for Lee.
Lee was discovered lurking in
some woods at nearby Rock Mills,
Ala, and before he was summarily
shot and killed, allegedly confessed
his guilt. No one contended that
Lee was armed or had resisted cap
ture
Lees lynching was officially re-
corded as death at the hands of a
posse.

There is one slight possibility OF
reason in this medley Of medules.
1t is that the driving speed of pro-
duction has given rise to some form
of collective mental jitters.
If that is the reason, then it should
be brought forward and examined.
But it seems unlikely that such a
reason could prevail over SO large a
field.
Furthermore, if that could be the
reason, then the cure is not in strikes
We have had high pledges of nc
strikes, but such pledges are no bet

the men who man the machines. What
has gone wrong with those consciences
