Lynehing Trial

Der when the Grand Jury term
begins, ii was limited by Cover
nor J. p. Coleman who was
forced to make an announcement
on why the delay of justice
since the FBI has turned over
names of the lynchers TO him.
Gov. Coleman was accused by
justice-seekers over the nation
as sitting on evidence, beat
ing around the BUSH and pro
tecting the guilty parties.
Without confirming whether he
really has the names in his pos
session, Gov. Coleman said he
felt it best TO wait until the
Grand Jury convenes as they can
best handle the situation. This
will be in November Gov. Cole
man also hopes tension of both
races will have simmered by

Congressman
Urged To
Oppose Bill

WASHINGTON - Ninety-eight
members of the House Of Repre-
scntatives who last year voted
for a bill TO curb the juriSdic-
ton of the United States SUI
preme Court have been called
upon Ito oppose this legislation
when il reaches the floor" in the
present session of Congress.
In an identical letter to each
of the 90. Clarence Mitchell. di-
rector of the NAACP Washing
ton bureau. reminded them Of
their vote in the 85th Congress.
The bill was passed by the House
and narrowly defeated in the
Senate. The House Judiciary
Committee has again approved
the measure by a IL TO Is vote.
This bill, Mr.. Mitchell told the
congressman, lis an unabashed
and wholly unfair attack on the
United States Supreme Court"
He cited the support of the
measure by southern representa-
tives who seek to restrain the
court because of its anti-segre-
cation rulings.
1T is a terrible tragedy" he
said, that when the nation is
still Keeling from the shock Of
a wanton lynching in Missis-
sippi. that the House Judiciary
Committee, obviously because of
cooperation between some north
crn and southern members.
would give a favorable report
on a piece of legislation which
will strengthen the hands Of
those who are seeking to de-
stroy the u. S. Constitution by
a program Of organized defiance,
mob violence, dynamiting and
other attacks designed to deprive
colored citizens Of their consti-
tutional rights"

conducted what Mr.. wilkins
called the most thorough lynch
ing inquiry in the entire history
of the crime"
On May rs, the FBI announced
that it had completed its inves-
tigation and was withdrawing
from the case. The Justice De-
partment said that no federal
law had been violated and turned
the FBI findings over to Cover
nor Coleman. According TO the
Justice Department, the federal
anti.kidnapping law had not
been violated and mo other
successful federal prosecution
could be maintained"
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1959-06-06

Governor Coleman announced
that he would turn the FBI re-
port over to the Pearl County
grand jury at its next regular
session in November. The in.
formation was submitted to him
for action under Mississippi
law.
In a telegram TO the Missi-
ssippi Governor, dated May
rs, Mr. Wilkins said that
"posfponement Of grand Jury
consideration of the Parker
lynehing information fosters
the suspicion that the six
months delay may be de-
signed TO permit frltfering
away of evidence, intimida-
tion Of potential witnesses,
and flight Of the suspects"
Moreover, he pointed out,
"the projected delay contrasts
sharply with the speed and bru-
tally of the mob which could
not wait 48 hours for Parker
to be tried in a court of law"
Florida Example Cited
The NAACP leader cited the
action of Florida officials in
converting special grand jury
in the mass rape case at Tai
lahassec where the victim was
a Negro college student and
the four assailants white.
Calling attention to the protcs-
tationS of Mississippians that the
state has adequate laws to pun
ish the crime of lynching, Mr..
wilkins told Governor Coleman
that his state now has the OPP
portunity TO vindicate the dec
larions of those Mississippians
who decry the enactment or in
vocation of federal laws to pro-
tcct the constitutional rights of
citizens. Indictment, prosecution
and conviction of the lynchers
would help alter world opinion
that Negro citizens cannot re-
ccive justice in Mississippi"
Mr.. wilkins request for a
special grand jury received the
editorial support of The New
York Times on May %. The
Times calls the six months de-
lay, incredible" and points out
that "a special session can be
called at any time. This should
be done Immediately and every
possible effort made by the au-
thoritics 10 bring the culprits
TO book"
