Get NINETY
YEARS FOR
THEIR CRIME
Neither Eligible For
Parole In Less
Thirty Years

WETUMPKA, Ala-Two white
farmers, John G. Howard, 80 and
Jack Oliver, 20, were found guilty
OF the rape by force of two mar
ried Negro women by allwhite
juries this week here, and were
sntenced to imprisonment for
terms of As years each.
The history-making convictions
came in this backwoods south
ern community after the county
prosecutor, U. G. Jones, urged the
jury to bring in a verdict thar
will show the world that the
Negro can get justice in our
COURTS,
! His assistant, Winston Hud-
dleston, charged the jury to de-
eide the fate of the white defen-
dants fjust as you would a Ne
gro charged with raping a white
woman"
AT the end of both trials Circuit
Judge Oakley Melton cautioned
the jury to think of the victims
'jf the two white rapists "as just
women, not as either white OF
colored.'
The sentences in both cases
appeared to meet with full ap
prevail Of both white and color
ed citizens of the county, more
than 800 of whom attended the
trials.
At one point the foreman OF
the jury returned TO court to
ask the judge if their verdict
could be fixed SO that neither
man could qualify for parole. He
was told that tn could not be
done. Even without such rec
ommendation, neither man vii,
be eligible for parole for abodi
80 years.
Howard and Oliver were charg-
ed with staging a hold-up OF a
party of cOlored workers with
gun robbing several colored
men Of their monea and a truck
They drove off in the truck TAX
ing with them Mrs. Melinda Jack
son, %, and Mrs. Annie Grayson
| "a, both wives of two of the men
they had robbed.
In a deserted spot they raped
the two women, threatening their
lives. The attacks occurred asst
April, and both men were imme,
diately arrested and held without
bail for trial.

The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1948-09-09

MHEN BARNABAS had taken
w stock at Antioch he knew the
place needed man, and he knew
the man for the place. OFT he went
across the Taurus mountains to Tar
sus, where Saul was doing nothing
particular, and he brought Saul to
Tarsus and set him to work. Saul
turned out to be, as Barnabas ex-
pected, the round peg for the round
hole.
That team was a "natural'-but
only Barnabas would have thought
OF 1t. Paul fitted in with the church
too. A tireless worker, he was lust
the man for that vital growing con-
gregation. Getting the right people
for the right jobs is still one of the
big problems Of the Christian
church. Many q Sunday school
class, for instance, now is whitening
on the stalk, only because the Sum
day school superintendent has never
found the right teacher.
