charge three years ago was
granted a stay Of execution just
two hours before he was sched-
uled to go to the electric chair
at Laurel, Mississippi. The dra-
matte last minute stay came
after vigorous and persistent eff
forts by the Civil Rights Con-
gress resulted in the signing of
a court order by a Mississippi
Supreme Court judge. Earlier in
the day, the U. S. Supreme Court
had denied a stay; of execution
and Willie MCGEE was scheduled
to die at l a. m.
A frantic last minute dash by
automobile from Jackson to

of the signed stay and a flat
refusal by Governor Fielding
Wright of Mississippi to do any
thing abouti.the case. set back
ground Of ynch terror and mob
violence once again around the

dragging through Mississippi
courts for more than three years.
