two white repairmen. They tried
to persuade her to allow them to
repair the radio as they wished
She refused and remarked that
her radio had been ruined and
that she would try to get it re-

and her son started to leave the
second floor of the establishment
they met white man who was
also registering a complain. about
the manner in which the men re-

shop. When they reached the

She succeeded in getting away
from her assailant and ran to the
nearby Stevenson (white) drug
store, where she asked relative
of her employer to stop the white
men from killing her SON when
she and the rescurer went back
on the Street they found that Co

The lynched man appeared to
be in his thirties and was tall and
we'll proportional IN build, the
witness estimated.
The informant said he would
have stopped at the scene, out
for his wife who reasoned that
since no Negro men were there,
his presence might cause more
trouble and jeopardy to his life.
Attempts to verify the lynching
from nearby South Carolina cities
failed Friday, but the New York
national office of the NAACP
was notified and urged to make
an Immediate investigation.
The South Carolinian, who
holds a responsible position In MS

that he saw Negro man hanging
