NAACP To PLAY
Active Part
In RetriaI OF
Trenton Six

CAMDEN, N. j., Dec. 3O.-In
response to inquiries concerning
the part the NAACP will play in
the retrial of the famous "Trenton
Six" case, DR.. U. S. Virgins,
president of the New Jersey State
Conference of branches of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People and
a member of the NAACP national
board of directors, announced to-
day that the Association will give
technical, research and other as
sistance to the counsel of record
in the case.
"Our legal redress committee
has always believed that serious
violation of civil rights occurred
in this case" DR.. Virgins stated.
for the reason that the confess
sions relied upon by the prosecu-
ton were in its opinion the prod
ucts of public misconduct of the
grossest type. In addition, it was
Of the opinion that the available
evidence would not sustain a con-
viction. These were the points
presented to the Supreme Court
of New Jersey in the NAACP
brief and they will be pressed at
the retrial."
DR.. Virgins indicated that
Special Counsel Thurgood Mar
shall has been designated as chief
NAACP counsel at the retrial, to
be assisted by J. Mercer Burrell
Of Newark, land such other New
Jersey counsel as shall be recon-
mended by the New Jersey State
Conference for the purpose Of
giving such technical, research
and other assistance as counsel of
record may desire"
"The New Jersey State Confer
ence," DR.. Virgins continued, "has
issued no statement approving the
conduct of either the trial Judge
or prosecutor in the original trial.
Any other statement issued by
any NAACP official represented
personal opinion only and was
not the official expression of the
State Conference"
The legal redress committee of
the N. J. State Conference assist
ed court appointed counsel
throughout the trial in 1913, and
the national office of the NAACP
field a brief amicus curiae in the
appeal after the six youths were
convicted Of murder. The N. j.
Supreme Court reversed the con-
viction and ordered a new trial.

judgment.
The plaintiffs charge that Ne
gro facilities are not equal to
white educational facilities and
that the school board discriminates
against Negroes because of their
race and color. They ask that
declaratory judgement and an in
junction prohibiting the school
board from further practices,
usages and customs"
James O'Neil, attorney repre-
senting the school board, in ar
guing the motion that the suit be
dismissed, said the claim that Ne
gro children are not given equal
facilities with the white children
is not true. He said that the
original petition filed by the plain
tiffs is not outmoded because OF
the vast improvement made in
Negro facilities during the past
year and half.
O'Neil, in arguing the point of
dismissal, frequently gave Booker
I. Washington as an example of
school facilities which are offered
to Negroes.
