Amy MaIIard, Mob Victims
Widow in Minneapolis Sunday
To Tell Tragic Story

Mrs. Amy Mallard, widow of
the Georgia lynch victim, Robert
Mallard, is to appear at a mass
meeting sponsored by the Mime
apolis NAACP branch at Phyllis
Wheatley House at $3.50 p. m.
Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Mallard is scheduled to
tell the tragic story of her hus-
bands murder and of the trial la
ter which set the slayers free.
She is on an extended tour
through the country under the
auspices of the national office of
the NAACP and in cooperation
with local branches.
Robert Mallard was slain on
a Georgia highway, when the
auto in which he and his family
were returning from a school
party was stopped by a mob Of
hooded men. The men shot NAL
lard to death.
When Georgia papers broadcast
the story, county authorities ar
rested Mrs. Mallard on suspicion
of murder. Aroused public opinion
in the state and nationwide forced
her release and halted an attempt
ed frame-up.
Later Governor Eugene Tai
mage, spurred on by editorial at
lacks by Ralph McGill of the At
lanta CONSTITUTION, daily pa
per, caused the indictment of two
of the men Mrs. Mallard recog-
niZed as the killer.
In a farce trial on January IL,
one man was acquitted in 20 min
utes after two jurors were allowed
to step from the jury box to tes-
tify as character" witnesses for
the defendants. The charges
against the second defendant were
dismissed. The case has attracted
nationwide attention.
In her visits to the various
cities in her nationwide tour
Mrs. Mallard hopes to create
sentiment for a federal anti
lynching statute.
Other speakers on the program
will be Rev. Kyle Haselden, pas
tor Calvary Baptist church and
Leroy Carter, national field sec
rotary NAACP.
Special platform guests an
nounced Will be Mayor Eric Hoy
cr, John C. Simmons, Judge f. F.
Waite, Rev. Louis johnson, Cliff
ford RuCker, Mrs. Lawrence Stee-
fel, the Rev. Daisuke Kitagawa,
Hubert Schon, George Phillips,
Cecil Newman and a representa-
tive from the CLIO.

a vigorous attack on James l..
Moore 3 column, Echoes from Du-

attac ked the lethargy Of Duluth
Negroes In regards to JOB opIortu-
mites, civic and social Advancement
Dear Editor:
The writer of the column,
Echoes from Duluth" in your
paper on March IS and IS by one
James L. Moore, a self-appointed
Wise man" from nowhere, who
has come to Duluth to pull the
heads Of the so-caIled complaCcnt
self-rightcous, Negroes out of the
sack, should, in the first place,
show some credential to show
from whence he came and to
whittier he is travelling. Can he
show anybody where he has been
a leader or even a member Of any
organization that has been on the
firing line fighting discrimina-
ton
This gives me a laugh: Il be-
ieve we have soft-pedaled condi-
tons in Duluth long enough as far
as the Negroes are concerned"
Does Mr.. So and SO include him
self as we? II so, where has he
been alternating? All good citi-
zens have been asking, who is this
Mr.. Moore that knows all the an
swers? Come out in the light, Pal,
and those of US who have our
head in the sack win bust out and
follow you to the place where
there is no Negro problem. May
be Heaven. What say you?
