Knight Appeals To
High Court

William B. Price and Eugene B.
Wetherill, Kenton attorneys for
Richard Knight, said they have
petitioned the United States Supreme
Court to review Knights conviction
on first degree murder charge.
Knight was convicted of the kill
ing of Loyal Bean, Dunkirk grocer,
in 1884. The case was reheard by
the Common Pleas Court of Har-
din County in 1945 before a jury,
after Knight contended he was
sentenced without trial. He again
was sentenced to life Imprisonment
in Ohio Penitentiary.
The conviction was upheld by the
Third District Court of Appeals and
the Ohio Supreme Court despite
Knights contention that he had been
held without trial for more than two
consecutive terms of court.

WHERE is THE NEGRO'S PLACL!

W AAAANL ID ILL INLOROO La
We've got to put the n LIS AIS p.ace.7 are the words
that have echoed and re-echoed t1ro-a-o-. IAe Southland
since the war. A trail of bruia4 D---.,-, s..ooangs, lynch
ings and mob rule can be traced t-ro>.-n georgia. South Car
DINA, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, in an
attempt to put him in his place.
The 64-dollar question seems to be, where is the Negroes
place? That is the crux of the situation. There is a certain
element who seems to insist that the Negroes place is that of a
second-class citizen, with no rights to vote, work in decent
jobs, or hold his head up like the rest of the American citiz-
ems.
According to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Uni
ted Nations Charter, and the war we have just fought, there
is only one kind of citizen in these United States-an Amer
lean citizen, entitled to all the benefits, privileges, and pro-
tectiOns this country offers.
During the war, the Negro accepted his full share of re
sopnsibiity as a citizen of these United States. He pad H.
fair share of taxes, fought, bled and died in the armed fore
es. worked and sweated in the mines and war plants, sacr4-
feed to buy bonds and did all in his power to keep Old Glor.
flying high. He had faith in his country.
The current wave of mob rule isn't very inspiring to cit
ems of color here or elsewhere in the world to sacrifice an
aid their country. 1t is time for the federal govern1nens
step in and show a firm hand with these lawless cornmun4
les where crimes against citizens are allowd to go unpun
Where is the Negroes place? AT the end of a rope, ba-
letridden in a grave, bruised and beaten on the side Of ~
road, shivering and shaking in terror, hiding in a swamp
cropping in darkness, cowed and submissive? No, that is mo-
the place of any American citizen.
The Negroes place is at the side of the white citizen who
believes in democracy, fair play, equality of opportunity and
a better way of life. Those who oppose this doctrine have
no place in America and should be firmly dealt with before
they put this country in a condition of anarchy.
How can this ge done? 1t must be admitted that undo
the present setup it is difficult. Therefore new Legislation
is indicated. Attorney General Tom c. Clark announced
last week that he would ask for new legislation when Con-
gress convened, in order to protect every citizen from the
furies of racial and other hatreds. He stated that in most of
the aforementioned cases, Federal action hangs upon a very
thin thread of law. 1t is like trying to fight a modern a
tonic wal with a Civil War musket.
So, if state and federal governments, under existing legs-
lation, are unable to prevent further mob violence for Gods
sake let us have more and stronger legislation protecting
our citizens.-DetroitT Tribune.
