ARTHUR THOMAS WINS STAY
Case Will Be Reviewed Aqoin

The much confused and often
retired and investigated case Of
Arthur Thomas for the murder
of store-keeper jamie Miscovich
is again news. Thomas has won
an indefinite stay of execution
so that his case may be reviewed
Charges of sloppy detective work.
framed evidence forced confess
Sions and intimidated witnesses
have been brought. A 17-year-old
youth, Ross Lee Cooper, cannot
be found. He is the only witness
to the murder.
According to Thomas, he and
Cooper went to the store to buy
beer. The store was closed but
Cooper said he knew the woman
and would be able to get in.
Thomas waited outside while
Cooper went in the back way. A
little later Thomas said he heard
screams. He entered and saw
Cooper with a knife in his hand.
Thomas struggled with Cooper,
cutting his (Cooper's) fingers in
the process, and finally Subdued
Cooper. When arrested by a
posse the next day, Thomas con-
feSSed under pressure from the
sheriff.
There is now an organized
fight to save Thomas from exc
cution. Many are convinced OF
his innocence. Five of his jurors
attempted to intercede with the
governor on his behalf. Fred W.
HirSchel, who spent much time
with Thomas while warden at
Florence, made an Independent
investigation and publicly stated
that Thomas is innocent, accord
ing to reports. Burt TomlinSon,
distinguished BiSbee Attorney,
has also publicly proclaimed his
innocence.
Federal Judge Claude McCul-
loch, in granting the stay, stated,
eff the. defendant has been con-
victed where a coerced confeS-
sion has been admitted, that
judgment is void 4. :"

NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE

The following statement made
public recently was UNANIMOUSLY
adopted by the Executive Com

"The Executive Committee OF
the Board of Trustees OF the
National Urban League view with
grave concern the tragic Situa-
ton facing Negro citizens living
in some of our southern states,
and particularly, at this moment
in Montgomery, Ala. Denial or
sabotage of the civil liberties OF
religious and civic leaders in that
city have opposed their efforts
to correct racially discriminatory
bus service in that city. Leaders
of the courageous Negro pop

port of their efforts.

Mississippi
Tension Grows
From Till Case

Chicago-The Mississippi Delta
region, which today is blazing
with fierce racial tensions is
featured in the April EBONY.
The article entitled 1.-The Land
OF the Till Murder" was written
by Miss C1oyte Murdock, who
covered the Till trial for EBONY
last September.
The Negroes, chafing under
the degrading pre-C1vil War
maSter-slave relationship, are
fighting desperately to end it.
The whites, especially the poor
whites, are fighting to maintain
the old status quo.
Today the races are almost
equal in number, there being
100000 whites, 100000 Negroes
with the majority of the Negroes
living in the Delta region. In
some counties Negroes outnum-
ber them as much as four to one,
with the bulk of them being
sharecroppers. But whether the
sharecroppers, phys clans, or
teachers, writes Miss Murdock
in EBONY, all Negroes share
common bond, ostracism. They
are the sec on d-claSS citizens
with each hemmed' into his
"place" from birth to death.
It is the poorer class OF whites
that view the Negro with the
greatest hostility. The Negro has
become his scapegoat, opiate and
the subject of all his scorn. How
ever poor the white man is he
must have the cherished fiction
of inborn superiority to place
him in his mind above the Negro.
He does not wish to see the COL
ored person attain rights and
opportunities equl to his, for then
this pseudo-Superiority would no
longer exist, Miss Murdock writes
in EBONY.
Miss Murdock points out that
whenever there is racial strife in
Mississippi, foreign papers, some
of which now refer to the state
as the land of the "Till murder"
play up the news. This is prov
ing quite embarrassing to a ma
ton which is attempting to con-
vince other races and peoples
that ours is the best way Of life
for them.
