Each year they parade the city

banned by order of the war de-
partment.
The club acquitted itself with
glory hare one carnival season
when due to the cold weather on
Mardi Gras dai, the white parades
scheduled to appear refused the
issue and threw hundreds of thou
sands of carnival into the quag-
mire of disgust.
Zulu club members paraded as
scheduled thereby saving the city
from national embarrassment. The
local dailies were loud in their
praise of the African-dressed mer-
rymakers.

WHITE MEN FREED I'M MALLARD CASE
AS JURORS TESTIFY in THEIR FAVOR:
MRS. MALLARD BREAKS DOWN ON STAND

LYONS, Ga. - (ANP) = Geor-
gia Justice" was demonstrated
here last week when the white
farmers accused of Staying Ne
gro, Robert Mallard last November
10, were set free after two white
Jurors testified in their defense.
Freed in the action were Will
liam L. (Spud) Howell, 80, and
Roderick Clifton 80. The jury de-
liberated only rs minutes before
setting Howell free. Prosecuting
attorney w. III. Lanier, state sol.
icitor general, then asked that
charges against Clifton be drop
ped
In this unusual case, two jur-
ors, L. ]. Usher and James w.
Currie, got up out of the jury
box to speak for the defense in
Howells case. They told the court
that Howell had a good" reputa-
ton, and they would believe any
thing he said, but Mrs. Amy NAL
lard, chief witness for the prose
cution, was "a bad one, and
they would believe nothing she
said.
Joseph Galdwasser white Cleve-
land businessman who has be-
friended Mrs. Mallard, said that
he would seek federal action in
the case on the grounds that Mrs.
Mallard had been denied her civil
rights.
Mrs. Mallard, wife of the victim
of the lynching, broke down and
cried on the witness stand while
she described the scene In which
she said about 20 hooded white
men shot her husband down. Judge
Humphrey had to call a short re-
cess until she could regain her
selfcontrol.
The trial did not last too long.
From the first % whites that
came into the court IL men were
selected as jurors. Then defense
attorney T. Boss Sharp called in
IL character witnesses including
the two jurors. He also named
Goldwasser as a defense witness
although he did not call him to
the stand. This maneuver kept
the Clevelander out of the court
room during the defense's actions.
Mrs. Mallard was the prosecu-
tons chief witness. She retold
the death scene.
Howell, under Georgia law as
the defendant, testified without
being sworn in. He declared his
innocence.
After both sides had summed
up their cases. the jury deliberated
quickly and returned it's verdict.
Sharp objected to the dropping of
charges against Clifton for reasons
which he would not give to the
public.
