Lynching
[9] As we go to press, information has come that Judge B. F. Long has
sentenced 15 men involved in the attempt to storm the Winston-Salem
jail to prison terms ranging from fourteen months to six years. This
is indeed a rarity and an occasion for rejoicing.
[10] _At the trial of the two alleged ringleaders of the mobs, which was
held at Tuscumbia, Alabama, on February 3 and 4, 1919, the jury,
assembled from the neighborhood, found a verdict of not guilty. The
secretary of the Association was in attendance at the trial and has
written a report of it which has been published as a special pamphlet
Dispensing With Justice in Alabama_--a Report of the Trial of Frank
Dillard, Alleged Lyncher, at Tuscumbia, Alabama, February 3 and 4,
1919, by John R. Shillady, Secretary, National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
[11] Of these investigations, the following have been published and may be
obtained upon application to the National Secretary: Brooks and
Lowndes Counties, Georgia (see foot-note, page 11); Estill Springs,
Tenn. (see _The Crisis_ for May, 1918, pages 16-20); Philadelphia Race
Riots of July 26 to July 31, 1918, 8 p.
[12] Printed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People as "The Negro Question" (with resolutions adopted by the Bar
Association following the delivery of the address), 30 pages, ten
cents per copy.
[13] Little, if any, progress was made in 1918, however, in the Law and
Order League endeavor, according to our best information, and no
rewards were claimed from the San Antonio Express.
