Investigation of the accident indi-

high rate of speed and was either
forced off the highway by an APP

highway when she became blinded
by approaching headlights.
According to reports it appeared
that considerable time had elapsed
when the accident was discovered
and her body found indicating that
she had been thrown from the car.
Unconscious when found she was
taken to the hospital at Rolling

One of the ministers who spoke,
Dr.. William H. McCorkie, pastor
If Westminster Church, st. Louis,
made a strong statement about the
church and segregation. He said:
''In the matter of racial dis
elimination, there are many sec

Christian than some portions Of
our church. If we are true Chris

we would cause some parts of our

an abandoned pasture, the two
men took her out of the car and
forced her to drink some of the
liquor.
Both men, according to the vic

When the two men became en-

that she effected her escape and
hid in some tall weeds until the
men drove off.
After waiting for a while to
make sure her attackers had gone,
she then started walking toward

attracted the attention Of a taxi

lawyers defending Mckenzie &
Wilson, hailed the jury's verdict as
"a glorious chapter in the ceaseless
struggle of the Negro to obtain
justice under our American law"
He said that the decision "in such
a controversial criminal case as
this one, by an all-white jury, in
volving very, seriously group of
Negro defendants in case in
which the victim was white, is
a monumental step forward in our
endeavor to appeal to our constant
legal authority to guard and pro-
tect our fundamental rights as
American citizens"
The defense attorney called the
verdict an excellent answer to our
critics abroad and those at home
who would subvert justice in AM
erica and use this case for unfair
and unjustified propaganda" He
added eve still, however, believe
in the complete innocence of the
remaining two defendants, Cooper
and English, whose lives were
spared and who were given life
sentence. The fight for their ulti-
mate vindication through further
appeals to our courts will be con-
tinued."
In expressing the Association s
qualification at the acquittal of
four of the defendants, NAACP
Special Counsel Thurgood Marshall
indicated that NAACP attorneys
will get together with attorneys
representing Cooper and English
to determine whether or not the
Association will continue in the
