ing white women of Mississippi
MCGEE, father of four children,
an exc. l., was scheduled to die
on March 20 for alleged rape. A
stay Of execution was granted by
Supreme Court Justice Hugo l..
Black, to permit the full SUI
preme Court to decide whether
it will review McGee's new ap-
peal.
The new plea is based on evil
dence proving MCGEE was know
ingly convicted by the State Of
Mississippi on perjured evidence.
His attorneys also contend that
he is. victim Of unequal JUS
tice In Mississippi, as in the re-
cent Martinsville Seven case in
Virginia, only colored men are
given the death penalty for rape,
proven or un-proven.
Mr. Faulkners statement on
behalf of MCGEE was the latest
in a series from eminent figures
throughout the country and the
world. Protests against McGee's
death sentence have come from

OXFORD, Miss. - William
Faulkner, internationally famed
authority, 1850 Nobel Prize win
ner for Literature, whose novels
on Mississippi life are world
famous, has expressed his belief
that Willie MCGEE, Mississippi
worker awaiting execution on a
false rape conviction, is innocent
and should be freed.
Speaking to a delegation Of
white women from southern and
northern states now in Missis-
sippi to win local support for
MCGEE, Faulkner said he felt
that the McGee frame-up was an
outrage. He thought it was good
that the delegation was in his
state Explaining that he did not
for a moment doubt McGee's
innocence, Faulkner agreed the
new evidence proving perjury
by the woman who charged Nc
Gee with rape" was also true.
Faulkner stressed the fact that
the women's d delegation, by
reaching neighborhoods and
talking to people, was doing inn
portant work in the fight to free
MCGEE. He laid great emphasis
