BY Doyle J. Carr.

Attempt to bribe a witness in
a confidence-game case resulted
in the arrest Of two men Sun
day.
Jimmie and Ida Cole, of 1719
e. Buchanan called the Sheriff's
office informing it of a bribe
attempt.
Mrs. Cole states that she was
contacted in front of her home
by two men last Friday, at 2
pm. The men wanted to know
if she lived there. She told them
she did. The men asked how
she would like to have money
for not appearing in court next
Monday against Ophelia Davis.
The suspect said a Baptist
church in Texas had put up
the money for this purpose.
When Mrs. Cole mentioned
contracting the law to see if the
proposition would be alright to
accept, the suspect advised
against talking with police. He
then wanted to talk to her hus-
band, who was at work, but
later returned (the suspects)
and talked to Jimmie Cole, who
was against the idea according
to report.
City and County detectives
joined in setting the trap to
close in on the two men. Mrs.
Cole then contacted the SuS-
poets with added interest in ac-
celA;ing the money, but said
they would have to come to her
home to talk with her daughter.
The appointment was made. De-
tectiveS hid themselves in Mrs.
Coles bedroom and watched the
show.
Detectives Bill Black and Earl
Moore, observing from the bed
room said they saw Watson give
Mrs. Coles daughter, Mrs. Rena
Pace 5000. The two, told Mrs.

WALTER WHITES LOVE STORY

Chicago The heart-Warming
love story of NAACP's Walter
White and his white wife, Poppy
Cannon, is featured in the jan
uary EBONY. The story, taken
from a book written by Miss
Cannon and finished prior to
Whites death, is entitled THE
LOVE THAT NEVER DIED. It
describes the joys and heart
aches the two endured during
their seven-year marriage.
They first met in 1929. Poppy
was 20-White was 35. Despite
infrequent contacts, a warm at
traction developed be etwee n
them. They fought against it
and for one period went ten
years without seeing each other.
Then in 1914 they met at a
luncheon and resumed their
friendship. It was three years
before they were divorced and
free to marry each other, she
writes in EBONY. In July, 1949,
20 years after their first meet
ing Walter White and Poppy
Cannon were married.
She writes that even though
White never admitted it, she
knew that their marriage added
to his problems in the NAACP.
Powerful forces within the AS
sociation wanted to oust him.
He was told before the marriage,
that Negro women would severe
ly criticize him. They learned
that it was Negro women who
supported them most. Famous
people like Mary Mcleod
Bethune and Lena Horne stuck
by the Whites and dispelled the
myth.
When White and Poppy were
married he had already suffered
many heart attacks. After they
had been married for a few
months, the attacks were more
frequent. Poppy tells how she
vainly pleaded with him to slow
down. He promised to slack off,
but events made it difficult for
him to keep his word. In the
spring of 1855, after a siege of
illness and seven years of mar
ried bliss, Walter White died
Arizona sun., 1956-12-06

suddenly in Poppy's arms.
When asked whether she will
continue her husbands fight
against bigotry, Mrs. White says:
Anyone with the name of Wal
ter White, even if it's only Mrs.
Walter White, is committed to
the cause forever"
