Peoples shot and kill^ a NeiTio ^*aa fleeinsr firom him. Th« I'leirro according to eyewitnesses was charged with no serious offense, but had cnsaged in a fi«t fiffht with two others of his race, near the home of the jailer. The N^irro is said to have made a 4ash for freedom after ^^in? i;diaced under arrest whereupon the jailer whipped out his gun and shot the form er in the”thigh, severing an ar tery which in a few moments caused the Negro to bleed to death. The jailer says he fired the gun to one side and cabled to the Negro to halt, but when he didn’t obey him he fired again at the ground. Of course the jailer wants to suggest that the bullet struck a rock in the ground aAd«glaneed off ir)to the body of ,tae flefeing'Negra That,' is what) Peoples would have the citizens of Henderson believe, and t%t is wliat he would have people eisewhere^ believe. We think Peoples had delib erately lied about the shooting, and that in spite of his lie he is guilty of murder, and shoOld be tried 1^ such. When an officer of the law gets it into his head that hia badge and the gun he carries en titles him to shoot down in cold blood a human being as he would a mad dog we think it is time for every decent citizen to stand on his feet and teach that officer and ot^rs a l^son by applying the full penalty of the law to him the same as any ether killer. The fact «that the man was fleeing from arrest does not al ter the sit lation one iota. The law is plaiii and definite^ and only give! an officer the right to resort to extreme means of apprehending a person when a felony, has been committed, and the persons is about to escape or bodily harm is about to be inflicted upon an officer. We think the decent citizens of Heiiderson are face to face with a challenge that involves the very sancity of the law, and the safety of themselves. The fact that the victim was a Ne gro and the murderer a white man should not enter into the case at alL The crime has been committed against that part of the state known as Henderson, sad the remainder of the state awaits to see if law and order is respected and human life is r^arded in that city.

At no time in the history of Birming ham has such a crowd turned out to ^ purely educational and cul tural program. A large group of whites was in attendance. At my invitation as ehairman chairman of the Exposition Exe cutive committee, Mrs. Mary Mc Leod Bethune flew to Birming ham to deliver the, keynote ad dress. Altho Mrs. Bethune intim ated she would only bring greet* lugs- before going to the audi torium, when she saw that great mob of people she was so moved that she made the most tnasterful address ever d*li’'^ered by a Hegro woman in Birmingham. “We want the world o get used to seeing black faces in high plares.
