STATES ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE
SAVES Willie MCGEE FOR Third
Time FROM ELECTRIC Chair
Granted New Right Of Appeal To u. S
Supreme Court
Young Lawyer Told to Take Police Is.
cort to Present Order to Sheiff

The highest possible praise and
commentator, and the best wish
es and prayers for long and USE
full life was expressed by Negro
leaders, and rank and file Negro
citizens in Jackson and Laurel,
and throughout the state, and by
Ministers in their pulpits Sunday
for acting Chief Justice William
G. Roberts of the State Supreme
Court for signing the order that
brought about the Stay of Execu-
ton of Willie MCGEE, scheduled
to die in the state portable cleo
trio chair after having been con-
victed the third time TO rthe rape
of a Laurel white wife, and for
John R. Poole, able young jack
son Lawyer for his brilliant, ener-
getic, and honest defense of Nc
Gee in the case.
With only a few hours left af-
ter the United State Supreme
Court declined to issue a Stay
of Execution after the mater had
been presented to the full court
by Justice Black; and as hundreds
of kilograms for high churchmen,
Civic organizations, and leaders
throughout the nation poured in
on Governor Wright urging him to
Stay the execution.
Willie MCGEE was seved from
the electric chair Thursday night
when Immediately after receiving
word earlier in the day of the ac-
ton of the Supreme Court Atty.
Poole Immediately prepared the
necessary order and presented
his plea to Acting Chief Justice
Roberts; after obtaining the sig
nature of Acting Chief Justice
Roberts, he had to go to Laurel
to serve the order on the Jones
County Sheriff.
Warned to take along a police
escort Atty Poole went to Laurel
where MCGEE had already been
taken earlier in the day and where
he was to be executed shortly af
ter midnight Thursday night and
succeeded in reaching the Sheriff
about five hours before time for
the execution.
After serving the Sheriff with
the order, Atty. Poole accompan-
led State Police who brought Nc
Gee back to the Kinds County
Jail where he has been kept for
safe keeping for the past three
years.
1t was the third time MCGEE has
been saved from the electric chair
In the third trial Negroes were
again excluded from the jury. Mob
hystenia was at such a pitch that
Attorney Poole and hi associates
had to be escorted out of the court
room without even summing I'D
the case before it went to the
jury.
On the third appeal the State
Supreme Court upheld the convic-
ton. Appealed was made to the
u. S. Supreme Court which de-
clined to stay the execution.
The last minute order by acting
Chief Justice Roberts of the State
Supreme Court also granted Nc
Gee the right of appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.
This is now being done.
The defense of MCGEE is being
carried on by the Civil Rights Con
gress, William L. Patterson, its
Executive Secretary urges that
funds for the continued defense
OF MCGEE be rushed to the Or.
der of the Congress at 2O5 East
And Street, New York, NY.

State Patrolmen and went out
to find my gum. Laer he re-
turne dto his home located on the

To be Closed in June

Two government-owned Ii

the closing down of these

We now have u licensed retail

Smith Optimistic Of
Present Relations
With Russiu

General Walter B. Smith,
former ambassador to Russia,
said that Soviet leaders at pre-
sent do not want war. He quot
ed Premier Stain as saying
that"we do not want war any
more than the West does, but
we are less interested in peace
than the West, and therein lies
the strength of our position.
General Smith was speaking
under the auspices of the New
York Chamber of Commerce.
He said he feels optimistic of
the immediate future but was
not quite sure of the long
range relations between Rus
STA and the Western Powers.
The present state of tension &
suspicion is nothing new, and
the wartime cordial relation
ships disregarded the basic

st. Louis Cardinals
To Hold Try-Out Camp
At Frederick Next Week

McCurdy Field, Frederick, will
be the scene of a two-day baseball
try-out camp June 20 and 21, it
has been announced by Thomas
Glass of Frederick. The camp will
be conducted by the pennent-con-
tending st. Louis Cardinals as a
part of their annual search to find
additional playing talent to bolster
the rosters of the clubs in the vast
Red Bird minor league system.
Three Cardinal scouts will be in
Frederick to supervise the work
outs, which will begin at II each
morning and continue until 3 or
a in the afternoon. Drills in bat
ting, fielding, running and throw
ing will enable the scouts to sur
vey the field and pick out likely
prospects to whom they will offer
minor league contracts.
The scouts will be Benny Borg
mann, Jack Sturdy, and George
"Whitey" Kurowski, on a temper
airy vacation from the Cardinals
while his injured right elbow heals.
All boys between the ages of II
and % who are interested in at
tending the camp are reminded
that they must supply their own
gloves and baseball shoes, and uni
forms if they have them, for the
Cardinals do not supply this type
equipment for their trial camps.
Any players signed to contracts
will be fully reimbursed for all ex-
penses incurred in attending the
camp.

Rewriting Cheaper
Than Rebuilding

A spider-web of cords for var
ious electrical fixtures running
from one electric outlet may be the
danger signal that should remind
the householder to add additional
circuits. Rewriting may even be
necessary in some cases, according
to A. v. Krewatch, Extension
Agricultural Engineer, who points
out that re-wiring is cheaper than
repairing or rebuilding a house
after a fire.
He emphasizes that overloaded
circuits cause many fires. Wires
which are run under a rug may
also cause a short circuit fire but,
if left exposed, they present an
other hazard as people trip and
fall over them. The answer, he
says, is to have at least one outlet
on each wall. When this is done,
the outlets should be on more than
one circuit, thus permitting some
lights to remain on even though a
fuse blows.
