PROSECUTION OF 2
IN VOTER’S DEATH
MEW YORK M. E. Thompson, outgoing Governor of
Georgia, has given assurance of his '‘willingness to do every
thing I can, as long as it am Chief Executive, to see that those
violating the law >cf this state are brought to justice-”
The Governor's position was expressed in a letter to Thru
good Marshall, NAACP Special Counsel, who had protested
the election day slaying of feiah Nixcn, 28-year-old Negro of Ml-
Vernon, who had voted in the recent Georgia Democratic primary
despite the threats and warnings of white persons. Two white
men- brothers. M. A. and Johnnie Johnson were arrested and
1 charged with the murder.
It was his understanding. Governor Thompson said in his
letter to Mr Marsh ell* that the case was "being pushed vigor
ously by the prosecuting authorities in the judicial circuit whore
the alleged murder occurred.'" The slaying grew out ot the
primary- election in which Governor Thompson was defeated for
renomin alien by Herman Ta’urtadce.
