Aceording to Miss Sara Alice
Jones ui iliUo E. Mavis, victim
of the attempted assault. Nichols
attempted to rape her while site
a passenger in his cab on
August 20.
When Miss Jones called a cab
*.n the afternoon of August 20
to take her from tiie residence
uu Woodburn Road where sh <•
was epmloyeu as a maid to her
home on East Davie Street, pro
s r cut! n g witnesses testified,
Niciiols asked her to sit in the
front, seat with hun as he had
to pick up some more passen
gers at State college.
On the way to State college,
she said Nichols inquired as to
her age and told her that she
was “old enough to take l.”
When he reached State college,
she said he could not find any
'hf the passengers nnd told he?’
it was a false call, drove me
cab out Martin Street, and at
tempted to rape her. She said
that when she yelled Nichols let
her alone and took her norne.
Leon fe. Brassfield, white at
torney who represented Nichols,
said that since Nichols let the
girl alone after sru- protested
hm actions, the assault did not
constitute attempted rape.
Judge Paul F. Smith reserv
ed judgment until Wednesday,
because he said he was not pre
pared to rule on the case and
wished to study further the
technicality of what constitutes
attempted rape.
Miss Jones was represented by
Attorney F. J. Carnage, who
pointed out that she appears to
Oe nearer the age of' 32 than
5.
There were indications that
Nichols might be found guilty
of assault on a female which is
a lesser charge

desperate fight against the Sftam

seems set to pick - a 'hanging jury”
of u Min- proponents of “white su
premacy”, NAACP lawyers lost an
other round yesterday On the ex
cuse that the attorneys for the
twenty-five Columbia Negroes
charged with attempted murder
were using more time than neces
sary and were “going t o far afield,”
Judge Joe M. Ingram handed down
an extraordinary ruling. Hereafter
the judge has decided, he will ad
dress all qustions on feelings of
prejudice to prospective jurors
fr m the bench. The defense mud
submit all race questions to bim
in writing, well in advance of the
day's questioning, and he will con
duct the future examination of
veniremen on that point.
This ruling was vigorously con
tested by NAACP attorneys 2. A.

Weaver. since it makes it Impossi
ble for the defense to determine
fairly what the true feelings of
prospective jur rs may be on race
prejudice and the legal rights ot
