Buddy Bush
' JACKSON, Sept. 3?(AP) Six
white men , accused in the attempted
lynching of Buddy Bush,
Negro, were tree today while a
seventh faced action by a neieh
boring county 'grand jury September
15, along with the Northampton
county jailer.
Arrest of the elderly jailer on,
a bench warrant Tuesday climaxed
the dramatic case of the spven
Rich Square men charged
witl} mob action last May 23
against Bush.
Superior Court Judge J. Paul
Frizzelle, authorized as committing
magistrate to determine if
there was probable cause against
the seven defendants, directed
that Joe Cunningham, an assistant
theater manager, be held
for action by the Warren county
grand jury and in a surprise
move ordered1 the arrest of the
jailer, A. W. E(i wards, for action
by the samq jury.,
The seven men were freed
sometime ago by a Northampton
grand jury which failed to- find
a true bill against them. Quver?
nor R. Gregg Cherry termed the
action a "miscarriage of justice"

College, Greensboro, N. C., has
ibeen honored as one of the 270
delegates to represent American
Methodism here in the coming
world gathering of followers of
John Wesley from September 24
to October 2.
Known sb the Ecumenical
Methodist Conference and embodying
all branches of Methodism
on the five continents, these
conferences have been held at I
10-year intervals since 1881 until
the war made the 1941 session,
scheduled for Oxford, England,
impossible.
Current food and housing conditions
abroad compelled the
transfer of the postponed session
to the United States,
i Fifty delegates are expected
from the mother church in Eng,'land
and smaller numbers from
the Methodist, denominations of
Australia, New Zealand,. South
' Africa and some Latin Amerlcaq
A,countries where Methodism, is
independently organized. Dele,
gates will come also from mls^
sion lands.
The conference does not have
S legislative power but wields
strong influence in shaping
world-wide Methodist opinion
and* policy.1
