TEXAS GOVERNOR Commended
FOR ACTION IN AKINS CASE

In letter to Governor r.
Coke r. Stevenson of Texas, the
Southern Negro Youth Congress
expressed approval of the ex-
ecutive's action in committing
the death sentence of l.. c.
Atkins, Dallas Negro youth, to
life Imprisonment. The letter,
signed by organizational secre-
tary Louis Z. Burnham, also
called for further action which
will lead to full justice" and
declared that "all evidence avail
able to the public" points to
the fact Atkins should be free"
Atkins was sentenced as re-
suit of fight with white man
in Dallas in 1912. Claiming that
Atkins brushed against his wife
while boarding a street car, the
white man, policeman off
duty and in plain clothes, drag
ged the youth from the car, at
tackled and shot him. In the
seuffle, Atkins won the gun and,
though wounded shot and kill
ed his assailant.
Texas law provides that a man
can only be sentenced to the
death penalty for murder with
malice. As a result of the ac-
ton Of the Dallas Branch N. A..
A. G. P, and hundreds Of wires
initiated by the Southern Negro
Youth Congress and other or
CARNATIONS, the condemned man
has been spared the chair in ac-
cordance with this provision of
the Texas code. The opinion
has been expressed widely by
politicians in the state that a
white man would not even have
been brought to trial under SINH
lar circumstances. The Youth
Congress is urging that wire
and communications be sent to
the Governor Immediately call
ing for a new trial, in the be-
lief that a fair hearing cannot
but lead to the freedom Of A
kins, who acted in self defense.
