Trenton Six; Prisoner Dies

TRENTON, NJ. - CAMP -
Collins English, one of two Tren-
ton Six prisoners still awaiting
trial, died of a heat attack last
week in the New Jersey State
prison.
English and Ralph Cooper were
to stand trial a fourth time for
the Staying of an aged white shop
keeper in 1913. Originally six
men were charged with murder
and convicted in 1913, but thanks
to various civil rights groups
such as the NAACP and the
American Civil Liberties Union,
the men were awarded new trials.
Eventually four of the Six were
freed, but English and Cooper
were convicted. Only a few
months ago, the New Jersey State
Supreme court ordered new
trial for Cooper and English.

THE SPECTATOR
A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

To all of the fine readers ot this
column. who have 50 patiently
taken time out from their various
busy schedules to read these jot-
tings, from time to time, and to
all of my other friends and &C
acquaintances, / extend my high
est and best wishes for a happy
and most prosperous New Year.
Here's hoping that the past year
has been a successful one In your
various endeavors and that the
coming year will be even more
successful and more prosperous.
Again, a happy New Year to all.
A very timely thought for the
coming year is expressed in the
following poem, entitled "A
Thought For The New Year., by
Miss Irene VaShti Burns, the re-
cent poet laureate of Booker T.
Washington high school of Miami.
I'm very happy to pass this
thought on to you.
A THOUGHT FOR THE NEW
YEAR
Are you thanking God that you've
lived,
To see another year?
Have you cleared the old past
record,
Without a doubt or fear?
Are you trying to advance your
self,
Within your mortal mind?
BY putting God ahead of life,
And leisure things behind?
If 1852 has left you,
With SORROWS and deep signs,
Just put your trust in Eternal
God,
He'll bless you bye and bye.
