Miss. Girl Raped By

Mt. Olive, MISS. CCNS)
Around the time when great wall
ing and gnashing of teeth were fill
ing the skies as Civil Rights Con-
gress Representatives were calling up
Gov Fielding Wright and Judge
Bruton of the u. S. Supreme Court
to save Willie MCGEE from death on
his fourth scheduled trip to the cleo
trio chair for having supposedly
raped a Laurel, Miss. White woman
Two White men by the name of
Bruett Hernby and the other whose
surname is Sykes, are alleged 10
have gotten a tenant farmer of the
Leebill Community, near Magee,
Miss, drunk, carried him home and
forceably over the protest Of the
girls mother, took his daughter to
a lonely cabin three miles away
where she was repeatedly raped
during the whole night by the two
men.
Immediately following the kidnap.
ping her mother succeeded in
awakening the father who. went to
the home of Marvin Berry, White,
and whose farm he lived and told
him what happened whereupon he
is reported to have gotten a couple
of other White farmers and went
off in search of the girl and her
abducter but returned without hav-
ing located them. f.
The girl, bruised and bleeding
and nude, dragged her way home
the next night and gave gruesome
account of how she was stripped Of
her clothing and forceably raped by
the two men and left in the calm
without clothing.
WARRANTS SWORN OUT
Landowner Marvin Berry. it is re-
ported, took his tenant to Sheriff
Sam Johnson of Simpson County
where a warrant was sworn out for
the rapists. Accompanied by Depu-
ty Clarence Stewart, Sheriff john
son arrested Hernby and Sykes
who were later released on bond. It
is reported they are making threats
against the family if they testify
against them.
Unconfirmed reports have it that
Marvin Berry says he will spend
the last dime he has to in an effort
to see that Hernby and Sykes are
prosecuted and convicted and that
he has the backing of large group
Of White housewives.
While it is reported that famed

''L|FE OF RILEY." ADDED FEATURE
 BILL AT CAPITOL

That popular radio show, "The Life of Riley now at the Capitol Theatre, which has been among the top air programs across the nation for the past five years. reaches the screen with its star, William Ben dix. in the Riley role and proves to be the first ether program to be filmed with any similarity to the format which made it a radio sue cess.
 This is due, perhaps, to the fact that Irving Brecher, who originated the radio version and still produces it, wrote, produced and directed the Limitation at Universal -Interna- tional Studio and was given free rein in his determined effort to screen with fidelity the human ele- ment and humor which characterize the air program.
 As an added feature for enter tainment there is Some of the Best" an anniversary film. It is a fascinating cavalcade of great mo- ments from great movies, it pre- sents 100 stars in action in scenes from 25 all-time Hollywood hits. In addition there is an advance look at scenes from productions still in the making.
