Columbia Trial Judge
oQuiz Jurors onBias

LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn, Aug
ust-In a desperate fight against
the "steamroller" justice of Tenn.
which seems set to pick a hanging
jury OF hostile proponents of white
supremacy, NAACP lawyers lost
another round yesterday. On the
excuse that the attorneys for the
twenty-five Columbia Negroes
charged with attempted murder
were using more time than neces-
sary and were going too far afieId
Judge Joe M. Ingrahm handed
down an extraordinary ruling.
Hereafter, the Judge has decided
he will address all questions on
feelings of prejudice to prospec-
tive jurors from the bench. The
defense must submit all race ques-
tons to him, in writing, well in
advance of the days questioning,
and he will conduct the future ex-
animation of veniremen on that
point.
This ruling was vigorously con-
tested by NAACP attorneys z. A.
LOBBY, L.. A. Ransom and Haul
rice Weaver, since it makes it
impossible for the defense to de-
termine fairly what the true feel
ings of prospective juorors may be
on race prejudice and the legal
rights of Negroes.
In addition to denying &C the
defense lawyers their legal right
to examine thoroughly all pros
pective jurors on the question Of
race prejudice, Judge Ingram
fined n man $50 for contempt of
court because Of his statement
that he would not be able to be
on the jury because Of his preju-
dice against Negroes.
Attorneys LOBBY and Weaver
Immediately made motions for a
The Omaha guide., 1946-09-07

mistrial and for a change of ven
ue, on the grounds that the Judge
by ruling in this manner would
prevent the defense from getting
prospective jurors to admit their
feelings Of race prejudice and,
therefore, they would not get hon
est answers from the jurors on
this all-important question,
AS it is, over two weeks Of ques-
tioning have produced only five
jurors ever family acceptable, and
the defense lawyers have used up
SO of the 200 premptory challen-
ges they n allowed in blocking
the choice Of biased veniremen.
There are 120 left on the present
venire to be questioned. Of the 100
questioned so far, rs to eighty
have expressed a bias against the
Negroes.
DR.. Leon Ransom also charged
Judge Ingram had committed a
grievous r in ordering that
Clarence Brown, a defendant, for
felt his $1,000 bond for failure to
appear in court on August 22nd,
although the defendant was i'll and
a physicians certificate was shown
as reason for his absence. Never
the less, the Judge ordered that
Brown be brought into court from
his sickbed and raised his bond to
$4,000. Brown was kept in Jail
until a bond for that amount was
raised. The Judge refused to per-
nit acceptance Of a bond from
two other defendants, James Nor
ton and Julius Blair. U S War
Bonds we're also refused as secur-
ity. Five thousand dollars in cash
was raised locally, however, and
the NAACP contributed another
$4,000 for Browns release.
