Phoenician Loses
Fight Against
Extradition

Governor Garvey signed extradi-
tion papers yesterday authorizing
the return of zack King to Texas to
face prosecution on murder
charge committed % years ago.
The 70 year old man was known
here as Willie Smart and was living

ceived a tip of his whereabouts
from Texas officers.
King who is accused of killing
Park Rayburn, June 20, 1922, on a
ranch in Pinola county, Texas, said
he had forgotten the name of the
man he has admitted killing in self
defense.
The quiet little man who does not
look his 70 years, operated shoe
shine stand at the corner of 18th
and Washington Street and did odd
job work. He led an honest and
quiet life here, and was liked by all
who knew him.

securing a lawyer, tried to find a
flaw in extradition papers, could
find none. Among those present at
the hearing were Mr.. and Mrs.

"Partial Victory Proves Guilty Can
Be Punished When Negro, Pro
gressive Whites Unite" CRC Says

Richmond, Va.-The leader of
/ the white lynch mob which axed
Samuel Taylor, 38-year old Negro
farmer, to death near Ballsville
last New Years Eve in the first
lynching of 1850 has been convict
ed of second degree murder and
given 20 years, the Civil Rights
Congress reports.
CRC observers at the trial called
the verdict "a partial victory which
proves that the guilty in lynchings.
frame-ups and cases of police bru-
tality definitely can be punished
when law abiding citizens unite to
demand it,"
Hundreds of members of the Ne
gro community in and around Balls
vile, jam-packed the Powhattan
Court House for the two-day trial,
the observers reported. Many stood
in the courtroom from early morn
ing until late evening. A large
number did not leave their stand
ing spots for lunch on either day,
so that "they could demonstrate
their demand that Taylor's lynch
ers be punished to the full extent of
the law" the observers reported.
Although there was preponder-
ance of evidence that the lynch mob
leader, Frank Clayton, premediat-
edly and in cold blood murdered
Samuel Taylor, the jury did not
return a verdict Of murder in the
first degree as requested by COM
monwea1th Attorney w. r. Blan-
ford.
One of the reasons for this fail
ure, CRCs observers stated, was
the constant Negro batting by De-
fense Attorney Flanagan who
tried to discredit the character of
the prosecutions chief witnesses,
Bernard Hague and Mrs. Annie
Morris, both white. They were vis-
iting Allen Liggon, Taylor's Negro
neighbor, on the day of the lynch
ing. On occasion after occasion, he
said that mo self-respecting' white
people would visit Negro homes.
Flanagan also attempted to in
timidate the two Negro jurors by
declaring that he had a right to
strike them off the jury, but that
he knew they were going to "do
the right thing"
When the jury brought in its de-
cision on the evening of March 1,
most of the Negro spectators
agreed that the partial victory was
due to their tremendous turnout,
both at the trial and at Taylor'S
funeral.
More than $50 friends and neigh
bors and over so cars were counted
in Taylor's funeral procession.
Other members of the lynch
gang, though known, are still free.
Taylor was found in a pool of
blood on New Years morning by
his own father, Spencer Taylor,
who is 78 years old. His right ear
was cut, his throat was slashed
with deep cuts, and a deep, long
cash, made with an axe, was found
in his back.

CHAPTER THREE

OF course, Bucky wasn't afraid OF
going to Santa Land. The only
trouble was he had not the slightest
idea how to get to it.
Its north, I'm certain" he told
himself. But where was north? He
rode his stick horse Fellow down
the sidewalks of his neighborhood
until he found sign saying: Take
North-Bound Buses Here"
When a bus rolled to the curb
Buck hoped aboard. Away the bus
went round and about the city to
places Bucky never had gone before.
Presently the driver called Bucky
up and said, where's your fare?"
Bucky's mouth fell open. Il don't
have any money" he whispered.
The driver stopped the bus and
put Bucky off. There he was-sur-
rounded by skyscrapers, the traffic
spinning past him. He felt a mil
lion miles from home and yet was
certainly not very near Santa Land.
Bucky Meets Little Tiny.
He asked q newsboy the way to
Santa Land. The boy growled,
"Scram" He asked lady If she
knew the way. She said, "You dear
boy, are you all ready for Christ
'mas?" He asked a street cleaner
who said. why go to Santa Land?
You can see Santa in any depart
ment store"
Bucky was tired, hungry and al
most ready to cry when he found
himself in a quiet park. He sat
down on a bench. Immediately a
voice said, You're sitting on me!'
Bucky sprang up and stared at
a tiny little man no bigger than
your finger. 'I-oh. I'm sorry" he
stammered. "But you're so ittle!"
That's what they call me-" said
the man. Little Tiny. But who
are you?"
I'm Kid Buckaroo," said Bucky
in rather forlorn voice.

be that you are the Terror of the

dropped to Tiny'S side.
This is Snow Bird" said Tiny.
Hes a kind of taxi. He takes us
| little folk wherever we want to go.
You can ride him to Santa Land!"
Bucky stared at the bird unbe-
lieving. He doesn't fit mel" he
exclaimed
"Try and see," said Tiny.
Obediently Bucky straddled the
bird. Immediately most remark
able thing happened! Bucky grew
smaller and smaller until he was
no larger than Tiny. Even his pis-
tolls and lasso and stick horse had
shrunk to fit him.
Away you go! Hang onv
shouted Tiny.
Without sound Snow Bird rose
in the air with the enchanted
Bucky riding his back as easily as
man rides horse.

Rhythm in the bidding is an in
sldious thing. Even experienced
players with seasoned judgment
will frequently be caught in its
swing and keep doubling the op-
position out of impulse rather than
logic. The conviction is held that
the enemy is houndering and it
behooves the doubler to keep
doubling. everything in sight.
Crafty players will frequently
make capital Of this psychological
weakness by engaging in what is
known as round robin bidding
that is, bidding in rapid succession
suits which they do not really
have, with the expectation of being
doubled. After they have repeated
the formula for several rounds of
bidding they arrive at long last at
the suit in which they desire to play
the hand, with the hope that the
enemy will have gotten into the
swing and continue to WELD the
mallet.
= There comes to mind critical
hand from the semif1nals of the
Vanderbilt tournament some time
ago. My partner in the North seat
elected to open the bidding with
club. While it lacks the honor
strength for an orthodox bid, few
players will today be found who
would be willing to pass the hand.
East chose the "pussyfooting"
tactics of merely overcalling with
one spade. He was reluctant to
make a takeout double for fear
that If he did so he would be un-
able to cope with partners prob
able bullish activity in hearts.
/ The trouble started with the
double of one spade, which 7 am
convinced was bad strategy on my
part. The trouble with doubles of
low contracts when you have moth
ing but length in the adversely bid
suit is that the hand many times
does not play there and your part
ner will double some. other con-
tract depending upon you to take
tricks which do not materialize in
the play.
North's double of two hearts
was natural and East rescued to
two ~no-trump with the diamond
suit as a backbone. I passed, as did
West, and my partner made an i'm
pulsive double. Brief analysis
would have shown that I could not
have any strength in diamonds, else
I would have doubled the two-no-
trump contracts inasmuch as I am
known to have the spades and part
ner had made it clear that he has
the clubs and hearts. The contract
was fulfilled with an overtrick.
We were caught in the swing.
