Case Against White Man Charged
With Rape Of Negro Child Here
Ends In Mis- I rial Wednesday Morning
Womanhood Defense Committee To
Continue Effort In Case
No Date Set
For New Trial

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. s.
tDSN) - The trial of Hugh L.
Morrow, a 48-year-old white car
penter, charged with the rape of
14-year-old Negro girl, in one of
the most brutal cases of its kind
on record here ended in "mis-
trial" here Wednesday morning.
The jury which took the case
late Tuesday afternoon deliberated
for four hours before deciding to
reconvene at o'clock Wednesday
morning.
At about 9:45 the jury informed
Circuit Judge M. NJ. MCGOWAN, be-
fore whom the case was being
tried that it was in hopeless dis
agreement thereby forcing the
Judge to order a mis-tria,.
Under the rules of the court a
new trial will be set in the case,
the date of the new trial to be
decided by the Judge after con-
sultation with the lawyers involv-
ed on both sides of the case.
In one of the most brutal and
sensational cases of its kind to be
brought to light here, the 48-year-
old white man was charged with
having lured the Negro child into
his ear on pretsnse that he wanted
to have her act as a baby sitter
at his home. He took her to a
wooded section near a lake in
southwest Jackson where she was
brutally raped under threats that
she would be thrown into the lake
if she cried out.
The young girl remained for
several weeks in a local hospital
for treatment both physical and
mental following the brutal Incl
dent.
According to the report of the
trial which was held behind closed
doors the young girl was subject
ed to all kind of questions by
counsel for the defense in order to
refute her story but with no avail.
Morrow admitted that he had the
relationship with the child and

to recognize them as the legal

not paid royalties as provided by

an effort to be recognized as the

but to no avail.
One Of the heirs, who had heard
OF Attorney Perkins ability and
legal skill in cases of this nature,
called at his office in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, and within few days,
he had been retained by all of the
heirs to represent them in their
case.
