Two Negro Murderers Of Negroes To
Die In Electric Chair
LAST WEEK, DOWN IN McCOMB CITY, which is the
County site of Pike County, Judge J. F. Guvnes, presiding
over the Pike County Circuit Court, sentenced two Negroes
to die in the electric chair.
In both cases the murder victims were other Negroes.
For many years now, the high homicide and murder
rate among Negroes in Mississippi has been one of the
blackest marks upon the good name of the State, and up
on numerous occasions has been the subject of discussion
among different groups interested in moral, spiritual, and
cultural development of the Mississippi Negro.
In our observation of the efforts of these groups, usu
a]ly expressed in the form of petitions and resolutions, one
of the invariable conclusions reached by them has been that
the high murder and homicide rate among Negroes in Mis
sissippi was due in a large degree to the comparatively minor
punishment meted out to Negro murderers, especially in
cases where the murder victims w’ere other Negroes. No per
son who has given even casual attention to the sentences
given in the case of Negro murders will deny the truth of
that conclusion.
It is also true, and of equal importance that, the indif
ference to the value of Negro life and manhood' in the sum
total of Mississippi citizenry, among those who make up the
jury in trials of Negro murders has been and is a major
cause for the comparatively minor punishments given to
Negro murderers of Negroes.
Under the above conditions except for the occasional atten
tion given to the problem by one or two white and »\egro
organizations in the State, with no aroused public opinion
fin fact we have often heard the remark that you can get
out cheaper for killing another Negro than for being caught
selling whiskey), Negro murder and homicide have in
creased almost yearly, until today Mississippi has the un
enviable record of having the highest murder and homicide
rate, not alone among Negroes, but generally, of all the
States in the country.
While we are not certain, Jackson and Hinds. County,
if not it is a close second.
In every country, notably in England, where the old
Mosaic Code, of an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,
is applied in the case of murder, the rate is almost insig
nificant.
The application of the Mosaic Code to murderers with
a like degree of certainty among Negroes, as well as others,
will soon begin to have the same affect in Mississippi.
In Pike County and throughout the State, all thinking
intelligent Negroes, will commend and congratulate Judge
Guynes and the Juries who heard the -above trials, and it
is our hope that his decision in these cases presages the
beginning of a time in all the courts of the State, when Ne
gro murderers will be given the measure of punishment
their crime deserves, for in so doing, we see the only way
to reduce the high murder and homicide rate among Ne
groes in Mississippi.

representatives to spend uncomfort
able moments on the witness stand
as he probed sharply, and some
times with a touch of sarcasm, for
the. reason why they now have so
few Negroes employes in the light
of their self profused policies of
fair play.
The International Association of
Machinists, an AFL affiliate, did
not even design to send a represen
tative to the hearing to explain
why, by barring Negroes from mem
bership in the union, it was pre
venting Negroes from working at
San Francisco shipyards and air
1 plane factories at Seattle.. Convinc
ed by direct testimony of Daniel
Sullivan of San Francisco that he
had been prevented from working
because of his inability to get a
machinist’s card from the union
and nettled at the non-appearance
of the union to defend itself the
committee ordered Harvey Brown,
international head of the machinists ;
union to appear at its next ses
sion in Washington.
While evidence presented at the
hearings indicated that AFL unions
and employers were engaging in
sharp practices to prevent Negroes
from working at jobs for which they
are qualified, the CIO, by state
ments of its officers, has a hard and
fast rule against discrimination by
its affiliated unions and told the
committee that refusal to work with
Negro members would lead to
suspension or expulsion.
The committee held executive ses
sions late Tuesday to inquire into
practices of governmental agencies
and schools receiving government
money which were charged with
discriminating against members of
minority groups. After shifting such
charges and after studying the tes

timony the committee is expected
to make the results of its findings
known to President Roosevelt and
to suggest action against firms
which either operJy evade the order
or give it mere Up service.
Presentation of the evidence was
in the hands of Eugene Davison,
Washington attorney, who has bten
here two weeks preparing for the
j hearing.
! Early Monday sessions were given
| over to representatives of minority
; groups to make complaints and
i many were voiced by persons repre-q
senting Jews, Negroes, Mexicans,
Indians and Orientals. In all cases
the complaints were similar stories
of the run-around or of downright
refusals based on race.
Among local spokesmen who
! presented complaints, either orally
I or by filing complaints for the
I record, were: George A Beavers,
| Allied Organization Against Dis •
j crimination chairman, the Rev J
I A. Caston, Assemblyman Augustus
j P Hawkins, C L Kellums, Leon
| H Washington, Sentinel publisher;
! CIO head Walter Connolly. Manuel

i B’rith; Atty. Thomas L Griffith,
NAACP head; Atty. Hugh Mac
Beth, YWCA Secretary Dorothy
j Guinn; YMCA Secretary Baxter S.
[ Scrugg, urban League Secretary
Floyd C. Covington and others.
Firms which appeared in answer
to committee citations included
Douglas, Lockheed-Vaga, Vultee,
North America and Consolidated
aircraft concerns; Bethlehem Ship
building company and other indus
tries engaged in national defense.
Made plain to the industries and
unions which appeared at the hear
ings was the instances of the com
mittee that mere token compliance
with the President’s order would
named on the Pacific coast conduct
periodic check-ups to force com
pliance with committee findings.
RAGS TO RICHES
(Continued from Page 1)
However, Mrs. Lee, who receives
half of the estate, said she did not
feel any different. She said she had
not made any plans for spending
' the money, except that she would
give her son, Robert, 13, “the kind
of a good education I always want
ed him to have.”
Willie’s wife learned the news
from a reporter at her home. Being
told of the sudden wealth that had
befallen the family, she said, I‘m
dizzy. Excuse me.’’ Slamming the
door, she later reopened it slowly
and explained, “I fainted. Every
thing went black. Now tell it to
me again. And slower.”
She said she knew tfhat she was
going to do with the money. She
desired a house with plumbing and
on a paved street.
However, a different story was
enacted around the corner where
Floyd’s estranged wife, Estella, re
ceived the news. “But where do I
come in?” she queried. “I’m divor
cing Floyd. But there’s the alimony
business. I’m asking $7 a week ali
mony, but man, you’re a fool if you
think I ain’t going to hurry right
down first thing in the morning
and do a little manipulating with j
; that figure.”
Asked if she would return to 1
Floyd, since he has become rich,
she stated that she would not i
withdraw the suit.
Congratulations were extended to i
Willie and Floyd on their good for- j
tune by E. W. Phelps, manager of
the Swift plant and George Ste
wart of Chicago, a vice-president of
the company visiting here, and fel
low workers. Both men said they
would keep on working until the
money was actually in their hands.
Willie said it was not very clear
as to how much money they would
actually receive, but he believed
that the lawyers in the case were
to receive 50 per cent of the amount
awarded.
Attorney for the brothers, An
thony P. Nugent, white, was almost
as elated with the news as his
clients. He said he had received a
telegram from John L. Ward, of
Tulsa, who with Charles Rogers
were associated with him in the
case. He also stated that the $7,413,
286 award did not include interest
that might be given his clients, nor
the value of the property awarded.
He added that he doubted if the
oil companies would appeal the
case because of the huge bond
which they would have to post. Not
only would they have to post a
$15,000,000 bond to appeal, but
would have to pay six percent in
terest of the 7 1-2 million dollar
verdict if they lost the case.
The Mayweathers, together with a
cousin, James Hale and a friend,
Willie Barr, held a small celebration
at the Floyd's home Friday night
but it was a very small celebration,
since the Mayweathers say they do
not drink much.
Howwever, the government will
come in for its share of the oil
award, too. Assuring that all the
$7,413,286 in Oklahoma oil royal
ties in which the two men are to
be taxed as a whole under the fed
eral inheritance tax, the sum of
$4,838, 200 would have to be paid
to the government on the first
$7,000,000 plus 73 percent of all over
that figure, or $301,696.78 more.
Thus, the total federal tax would
reach the sum of $4,139. 78. This
figure does not, however, include
the regular income tax.which would
have to be deducted.
Relatives Rush To

it hit the bridge abutment.
Coroner J. Mell Martin said he
was at a loss in seeking to deter*
mine the cause of the accident
“unless the driver looked down
maybe at a fire breaking out un
der nim, and hit the bridge.”
It was reasoned by state officials
that the rear end of the bus struck
the bridge, causing the gasoline
tank to explode. Immediately fol
lowing the crash, the bus was en
veloped in flames. Tho vehicle
struck one end oi the bridge and
came to a halt at the other end,
of'Mals said.
Chris Crumps, of Enterprise,
Alabama who escaped by breaking
Ala., who escaped by breaking his
way through a window, said he
felt the bus«swerve and hit the
bridge. “Instantly the interior of
the bus was a mass of flames, and
I started through a window.”
Mack Stephens said women and
men were screaming when he
reached the scene. HP told of see
ing the driver rush back into the
bus and bring out a man. Another
man, his clothes on fire, tumbled
out of the bus, according to
* Stephens
LIGHT BELIEVED SAVED
Eight persons were believed to
have gotten out of the bus.
Stephens said he carried four
persons to a hospital, a colored
man in a piclc-up truck carried
one and an ambulance picked up
two of the injured.
“It was the most horrible thing
I have ever seen in my life.” de
clared Stephens.
At Montgomery, Oonrad H
Ohme, chief inspector tor the state
Public Service Commission, ex
pressed the opinion that ‘‘no one
will ’ever know the real cause of
the accident because of the death
of the bus driver.
“It appeared,’’ Ohme said in his
oificial report, “that the rear end
of the bus must have struck the
bridge whioh caused an explosion.
The bus was brought to a stop
after it had crossed the bridge.
“When I got theie the bus was
off the right-of-way. There Is
nothing left of it except the chas
sis which is badly burned and i
scrap iron. It is my opinion that
no one will ever know how it all i
happened because the driver who
could give the test information
is dead. It is a horrible scene.”

nation in hiring workers.
'■Don’t you think it’s strange that
out of a Los A r;eles Negro popu
lation of about 60,000 only 10 have
found their way int0 your pay
roll?” asked Earl Dickerson, aider
man from Chicagc and a membei
of the committee.
“Yes,” replied Neal, “but if yon
look at our line, the men applying
for work, you’ll see that not even
three per cent are Negroes.
“They just don’t seem to have
the qualifications, the experience
or skill.”
“Did you ever have any trouble
with white men objecting to the
Negro workers?” Neal was asked
by Mark Ethridge, Louisville pub
lisher and chairman of the com
mittee.
HAD SOME TROUBLE
“We have had some trouble."
Neal replied, “we have had to
transfer some of the NegVo boys.”
Inland Taylor, assistant to the
president of North American
Aviation Corp., told the commit
tee his firm employed eight Ne
groes as custodians out of a total
of 12.500 employes.
He said lack of applications from
Negro workers was the cause for
this condition.
Milton P. Webster, vice presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters and also a member of
the committee, asked Taylor
about an order posted in North
American’s Kansas City plant to
the effect that no Negroes would
be hired, except for janitor work.
“Since the president ordered
nondiscrimination in defense in
dustries, you have changed that j
policy, I believe. How about mak- I
big a public statement now that I
you are hiring Negroes for all
positions, if they fulfill qualifica
tions?” he challenged.
“We haven’t done that yet,”
Taylor said.
