NEW YORK Henry Wallace
last week wired Georgia's Gov
ernor Melvin E. Thompson de-
handing a new trial for Mrs.
Rosa Lee Ingram and her two
minor sons who, he charged,
have been sentenced TO death
under circumstances which
would clearly indicate a gross
miscarriage Of justice
Wallace wired Thompson:
II have been deeply shocked
by the death sentence imposed
upon Mrs Rosa Lee Ingram and
her two minor sons under cir

indicate a gross miscarriage Of
justice II is apparent that no
adequate opportunity was given
to prepare the case for the de-

showing that Mrs. Ingram and
her sons were forced to act in
self-defense.
In addition. the indications
are that Negroes were syste-
maticallv excluded from the Jury
notwithstanding numerous de-
cisions OF the United States SUI
preme Court which dcnounce
this practice as unconstitutional.
Considerations Of simple hui
man justice require that the
