Nuys anti-lynching bill was strik
ingly evidenced here last Tuesday
when a planter used the South’a
Opposition to the bill as an argu
ment to sway a gathering mob
from their avowed purpose .'f
lynching a Negro prisoner. ,
The planter, Robert K. Greene,
whose wife ha dallegedly' been
choked by Lee Jones, 8^1-year old
mill employe, was the man whose
plea htflted the mob’s action while
police spirited the prisoner away
to the Selma Ala., jail, 60 miles
from here. Greene is a brother in
law of Representative Sam Hobbs
(Dem.—Ala.).
Mrs. Grfc^ne told police Jones
jumped in her far, threatrned
her wit ha J?uh, forced her to
drive to a schoolyard, .but she es- |
caped after he had choke^ her. '
Her assaild:nt ieScaped but Sheriff I
Calvin HcHlis put bloodhounds on I
the trail, later captured Jones,
who stands change with kidnap
ing and assault.
Asked how he had stayed the
mob’s action, the victim’s hus
band said: told them I was
the aggrieved person and I ought
to have ihe final say. I also re^
mined them our Southern Sena
tors were fighting an anti-1 ync-
