While not speaking on ihe facts of the case. Hob by's response brought chorus of amens and 'go ahead when he declared, I ant not ashamed of what I have done. I am . proud of it." He con tinued, saying "I feel like justice will be done; because of people like, you. . . ." Throughout the testimonial, speaker after speaker described the charges as part of a, political frame-up against ! labor, blacks, women and ' the poor. Mrs. Eula Miller, a local Democratic Party ac tivist and wife of Durham ' County Representative George Miller, pointed to. -the conservative N.C. . Congressional Club which ; has spent thousands of dollars on commercials that depict Hobby taking money from the people. "The Congressional : Club is going straight for our warriors, and Wilbur is one of our warriors' she said.
