Body of Negro Is Mutilated,
Burned By A Mob In Texas
(Continued from Page One.)
being able to make an statement as
to his guilt or innocence, the Negro
died as the car bearing him sped to
ward Vidor, six miles east of Beau
mont.
Tin.- body was taken to Sillshee, an
other small town In the vicinity, by
Sheriff Miles Jordan, of Hardin coun
ty. On learning of these developments,
the mob. slowly increasing in size,
trailed the sheriff to Sillshee, took the
/body from him. tied it behind an au
tomobile with chains and dragged it
for 35 minutes through the Negro sec
tion of Kountze.
Members of the frenzied mob of
approximately 300 cut out the Negro’s
heart and other organs before casting
it to the flames.
There was talk of raiding the Har
din county jail here and inflicting
similar treatment upon two other Ne
groes under arrest suspected of having
aided Gregory to evade officers
shortly after Mrs. Brockman was kill
ed. But the mob dispersed after burn
ing the body.
In the face of mob threats, 20 de
puties, rangers and armed citizens
stood guard in the county jail until the
danger had passed.
Mrs. Brockman started for Kountze
alone in a light truck and was found
shot to death beside the truck, which
had been set afire. Flames had seared
her body. She had planned to ex
change a pair of baby shoes she had
purchased.
It is an axiom that nationhood must
not be arbitrarily defined in terms of

NEW FORD V-8 for 1934
* T HE UNIVERSAL CAR
The New Ford V-8 for 1934 will be on display tomorrow at the showrooms of Ford dealers. Surpassing even the
great Ford 0f 1933 in economy, beauty and comfort, it is truly the car of this modern age—the culmination of thirty
years Ford progress. It combines the provedperformance of the V-8 cylinder engine with two important new fea
tures —Dual Carbttretion and perfected Clear- vision Ventilation. See it and drive it at the first opportunity.
OUTSTANDING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NEW FORD V*B
BETTER PERFORMANCE. Greater power,
new speed, quicker acceleration, smoother per
formance, more miles per gallon especially at
higher speeds, and quicker starting in cold weather
—all these result from the new dual carburetor
and dual intake manifold. New waterline ther
mostats enable the engine to warm up more
quickly and to maintain an efficient operating
temperature. Added engine refinements reduce
oil consumption, further improve operating
economy and reduce maintenance costs.
NEW 7 VENTILATION SYSTEM permits clear
vision, prevents drafts and provides desired
amount of fresh air in any weather. Indmdual
control for front and rear side windows. When
ventilation is desired the window glass ts raised
to the top. Then the handle is given an addt
tional half-turn. This slides the glass h ac * hori
zontally to form a narrow slot, as illustrated.
We are now ready to deliver the new 1934 V-8 Ford Will be pleased to give you a demonstration.

places some pressure has been
brought to bear to persuade office
managers to assign John Smith ano
Sam Jones to a particular job. So I
have decided to enlist the assistance
of the reemployment committee in
each county and have this committee
approve each allotment of workers
made by the office manager before
it becomes effective. In that way
il think we can be sure that no fav
oritism is shown and that all place
ments are to be made purely on the
basis of the type of labor needed and
those available.”
Thus if a call come for six carpent
ers, four brickmasons and three con->

from the files on the basis of these
classifications, without any regard a
to what their names may be, Waynick
pointed out.
