Albany Jury Frees
Scottsboro Bow

ALBANY, Feb. 21-James An
drew Wright, one of the central
figures in the famed Scottsboro
case of 1887, was acquitted yester-
day by an all-white Albany County
jury on charge of raping a 49,
year-old girl last summer.
The jury of eight women and
four men deliberated an hour an
twenty minutes after Jawn Sandi-
fer, who defended Wright on be-
half of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, said the "Scottsboro Boy"
was the victim of a fantastic plot"
Charging that Wright was beat
en- by police into '.confessing" the
alleged crime, Mr.. Sandifer likened
this treatment to the experiences
of Cardinal Mindszenty, Robert
Vogeler, and William Oats behind
the Iron Curtain. He said that
Wright's course" was that he was
one of the nine young Negro men
whose conviction in Scottsboro,
Alabama, on rape charge fifteen
years ago created an international
controversy. "He was prize catch
to the Albany police Mr.. Sandi-
fer said. IF it were not for the
fact that he is one of the Scots
boro boys, he would not be here.
An extradition warrant was filed
by the State of Alabama when
Wright was arrested last July IL,
charging him with parole violation.

1850 standing, while an equal num-
Der was turned away at the door,
attended the second anniversary
celebration of the occupancy of
the new $4,000 Parish Street
Baptist church here Sunday after
noon.
The magnet that drew the record
breaking crowd was DIR. Joseph H.
Jackson, native Mississippian,
graduate of Jackson College and
internationally known pastor of
Chicago's famed divert Baptist
Church the guest speaker for the
history making event.
Choosing to preach sermon,
rather than make an address at
both of which he is equally adept.
DIR. Jackson justified the rerputa-
ton that makes him one of the
really great preachers Of the ma
ton, and of the world by taking
complete command of the great
crowd from the moment he an
preached the speakers stand.
Selecting from the writing of
Paul in his letters to the CORN
thians the text "If We Would
Reign We Must Suffer With Him."
DR.. Jackson named as his subject
the Virtue and Value of Advers-
ity," subject around which he
fashioned in the unanimous opinion
of his hearers, the greatest sermon
ever heard here.
Relating his text and the subject
to the history of the Negro in
America, from his coming as a
slave to the present time, he said
the Negro having religion and
Christianity while living in advers-
