Gov. Stays
Execution

PHILADELPHIA (ANP) Gov.
James H. Duff again pulled Aaron
(Treetop) Turner from possible
death last Wednesday when he or
dered the 26-year-old man a stay
of execution as he waited in the
death row for the murders of
Charles B. Simmons and Frank
Endres in 1916.
Turner, along with Jasper (Fate)
Johnson and Clarence Lotion, is
said to have beaten the victims
to death with a sashweight during
a robbery at the Ace Broom
company here. Lotion, who is 20,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to life Imprisonment in Eastern
penitentiary while Johnson's at
torney, Edwin P. Rome, has taken
the condemned mans case as high
as the U. S. Supreme court.
The high court decided in a 5
to a decision, which was written
by Justice Felix Frankfurter, that
Turner's confession should not
have been considered at his trial
in 1916 because he had been held
improperly for a long period with
out arraignment before a magis-
trate. This was considered by the
court a violation of Turner's con-
.stitutional right.
Rome fought against Turner.

Diplomat Speaks


STRASBOURG, France AMP
Any document of human rights ap-
proved by the new Council Of
Europe should apply to overseas
territories also, M. Senghor, Afri-
can deputy of France, told the
European assembly here last
week.
He gave his opinion after the
assembly had failed to pass a
measure which would have set up
a commission for overseas terri
tories. Most delegates void rather
have a document of human rights
to apply to Europe alone.
The following human rights are
listed in the proposed document:
Security of life and limb; free
dom from arbitrary arrest, deten-
ton, and exile; freedom from
slavery and servitude and from
compulsory labor of a discrimia-
tory kind: freedom of speech and
Of expression of opinion generally.
Freedom of religious beliefs,
practice, and teaching: freedom of
association and assembly: the ma
tural rights deriving from marri-
age and paternity and those per-
tanning to the family:
The sancity of the h m e,
equality before the law: freedom
from discrimination on accounts
of religion, race, national origin
and freedom from arbitrary depri-
walton of property.

the grounds that the admission
was obtained after Turner had
been confined and questioned
without a let up for five days
at the First Detective division.
In November, 1947, Judge Harry
S. McDevitt and Frank Smith dis
agreed with Judge Joseph Sloan
and denied Turner a new trial.
Now a new trial will be held al
though no. date has been set.
