Sentence on Sedition
Charge for Helping
Negro Couple Buy Aom|

The Kentucky court of appeals has thrown out the i5-year
prison sentence given Carl Braden because he and his wife
helped a Negro couple obtain a house in a so-called white
neghborhood near Louisville.
Charges against Mrs. Braden and five other white persons
indicted with the Bradens are expected to be voided as a result
OF the unanimous decision by Kentuekys highest court. All
were indicted under a sedition law passed in 1920.
The American Civil Liberties union views the reversal
oil Carl Braden's conviction as an important civil liberties vic
tory" said Louis Lusky. Louisville attorney who was appoint
ed by the ACLu TO assist in appealing the conviction.
The appeals court did not pass on many important civil
liberties issues raised In a 1901 page appeal brief filed by Lus-
KY and Robert w. Zolinger, Louisville. who was Braden's
chief counsel at his trial in December. 1854. The hi courts
decision was based, instead, on a ruling by the u. S. Supreme
Court that the federal government has exclusive right to prose-
cute for alleged sedition.
Braden and the others were indicted on sedition charges
after a grand jury investigated the dynamiting Of the home
oil the Negro couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew E. Wade, Nv, on
June "a, 1881. The house was half destroyed by white racists
after the Bradens bought the house and transferred 1t TO the
Wades.
Commemorative attorney, A. Scott Hamilton. who prose-
cued the case, declared that the purchase and bombing of the

anniversary.
During the day. a bronze
plaque bearing the names OF
the slain offlcers-Dick Speed,

The plaque, along with his

Gated was a new highway

Elmer Fraker. secretary of the
Oklahoma Historical Society,
made the dedication speech. He
recalled the oft-told story Of the
gun battle.
He said the gang, headed Bill
Dalton and Bill Doolin, used the
town as a retreat after train
and bank robbing forays until
the Inflated intrusion by Fed
Ieral officers.
Mr.. Fraker recalled-from his
,torical data-that the officers
decided to enter the town in a
covered wagon because it seemed
the most inconspicuous method.
The Cherokee Strip to the north
was to be opened to land seekers
is days later. on September Is.
and many Of them were passing
through ingalls, in covered
wagons.
The marshals successfully got
into the town but when they
piled from the wagon, sharp
eyed gang members spotted
them. Word was quickly passed
around.
Five Of the gang moved to
the south while the rest took
shipping positions in second-story
windows. Among the shippers
was a bandit we'll known in local
history as Arkansas Tom Jones.
