PopIarvilIe Plagued
BY Fear & Guilt
Over LYnchinq

New York. Jan. 4.-The white
population of Poplarville, Miss. is
''wrenched by conflict between
dread and guilt" over the lynching
of Negro Mack Parker, a maya
zine editor declared today.
Writing in the current issue of
Look Magazine, Georgia-born edi-
tor George Leonard, Jr., said he
found during a recent visit to
Poplarville that people were try
ing desperately to force the ugly
matter from their scious
minds"
The people of Poplarville were
obviously trying to fool themselves.
Some of the less educated already
has woven a web of fantasy to
protect them from their own feel
ings," Leonard wrote
He said he was told by one
man that most people" in Pop
larville think that the Parker case
was "a frame-up by the NAACP'
and that there wasn't no rape
and there wasn't no lynching."
The Parker case made interna-
tional headlines last April when
Parker was dragged from a Pop
larville Jail by a band of masked
men two days before he was to go
to trial for raping a pregnant
white woman. Nine days later, his
bullet-ridden body was recovered
from the Pearl River.
Leonard said in Look that he
was told by a Southern newspaper
man that the local attitude sup
porting the lynching was far more
general when the story broke thar
most of the local leaders are now
willing to admit.
