did in trying to defend their
clients.
At the dose of evidence Tues
day, U. S. District Court Judge
Harold Cox conferred with at
torneys as to his charge to the
jury and how to handle the argu
ments. The Jury was dismiss
ed and told to return this morn
ing at 6:30. It is to be re
membered that the jury was
permitted to go home every
night.
The 12 defense lawyers ask
ed for three hours to argue.
Judge Cor told the court at
2:30 Tuesday afternoon, that he
did not think the examination
of the charge to the jury could
be completed by 6 o’clock and
that he did not think the ease
should be given to the jury at
that late hour.
The defendants Include three
law enfor cement officers,
including the Neshoba County
sheriff, one of his deputies and
the sheriff-elect. The defen
dants have not shown too much
concern and even though, If
found guilty, could go to pri
son for 10 years and be fin
ed $6,000, have joked and had
typical conversation, with no
sign of fear or humility'.
The government had to resort
to conspiracy, due to the fact
that the killings were not re
ported as having happened on
federal property. The state
refused to prosecute, in any
manner, and the government
had to go alone.
There are seven women and
five men, all white, on the ju
ry. The defense used its chal
lenges to see to it that no Ne
gro was selected. One of the
first questions asked a pro
spective Negro juror was “Are
you a member of the NAACP?"
One of the defense lawyers
tended to reprimand a prospec
tive juror, in open court, when
he was a little hesitant as to his
relationship with the organiza
tion.

happened and found that her
sister had been shot and that
blood was oozing from her
breast. She said that her pulse
was rather faint,
Mrs. Elsie Rogers, daughter
of the slain woman and alleged
common-law wife of the accused
man, in sobbing tones, then told
the representative that Tanner
beat her so badly, Oct. ", one
week earlier, that it was thought
she would lose her eyesight.
She alleged that as the result
of the beating she was not able
to open her eyes very much,
from the Sunday he inflicted
the beating, upon her, until
Thursday of that week.
She told how fearful of her
life, she was taken by rela
tives of Tanner, to her mother’s
home, on being released from
the hospital. On the fatal trip,
according to Mrs. Rogers, the
slain woman had taken her to
her aunt’s (Mrs. Bailey) home,

also told members of the sher
iff’s department that after the
man had fixed the tire, he ask
ed to take him home and this is
what she thought she was doing.
In the interview Primes de
nied that he asked her to take
him home and instead she asked
him to go with her home be
cause she had some more work
she wanted him to do. The
accused man said thatduetothe
fact he needed the money he
decided to accompany her home.
He told the interviewers that
he did not know where he was
when she stopped. He alleged
that the woman stopped the car
in a place where there were
some log cabins. He alleged
that she asked him to have an
intercourse with her, due to the
fact she had never had an In
tercourse with a Negro.
Primes alleges that this re
quest scared him and he start
ed to walk away, but took a
second thought and said that she
might scream and this would
make It appear he was trying
to rape her. Primes said, “I
returned to the car and she told
me to follow her. I followed
her Into the woods and had the
intercourse.” The interview
further revealed that the woman
brought Primes back to Raleigh
and put him out of the car.
The accused man also said
that the woman insisted that he
would not tell anyone and gave
him $5.00. He alleges he went
on home and decided that he
would not tell anyone.
The complaint shows that
Miss Daniels contacted the
sheriff’s department immedi
ately and the search was on.
Primes alleges that the first
time he knew that the act. liad
been termed rape, was when the
officer came to his house and
told him he was wanted for
questioning, about the crime.
He is now being held without
the privilege of bond.

existence to solve the problem
for temporarily homeless girls.
Although there is a need for
a similar home for boys, the
Community House serves girls
because, as Mrs. Newton said,
'•Their needs are greater -they
don’t have as many defenses a
gainst the street.”
The house, which opened its
doors in April, is a first. Its
orglnators consider it unique
because it is structured so
that the central emphasis to the
girls is on family and family
life within the house.
Originators of the idea were
Mrs. Newton and Kenneth Kas
tleman, a recent Harvard grad
uate. “We started this thLng
together on a piece of paper,”
said Mrs. Newton, “and seeing
it take shape has been one of
the rarest experiences a per
son can have.”.
However, the house has bees
and is providing the family
feeling" that has been missing
up until this point for the girls
living in it. Education, enrich
ment new experiences, willing
listeners to hear the girls’
problems and a family type
domestic atmosphere are all
essential to the scheme.
The girls, who live in the
house rent free, pay into a com
mon food fund with money earn
ed through part-time jobs. They
plan meals, go shopping, handle
household chores and make
household decisions together.
Many of their responsibility
sharing experiences and do
mestic ones are new to them,
A plus for the house is its
economy. Since the girls are
responsible for helping them
selves and contributing to the
food fund, the House is a low
cost project with outside money
needed basically only for rent
and utilities and small salaries
for house counselors.
The motion to enjoin the op
erators was made by Paul Al
ford. Two substitute motions
were made, but were lost. Coun
cilman Walter Biggs moved that
the city postpone action and send
a letter, setting out the fact
that City Attorney had found that
there were zoning violations and
that the operators would have
time until the next meeting of
the Council to meet the zoning
requirements. Councilman
Tom Hunt made a motion that
criminal action be taken by the
Council. The criminal action
motion received only four votes
and the civil action received
ten.

by well meaning whites. Ne
groes, he claimed, are suspi
cious of the white man’s mo
tives when any spiritual ap
peal is suggested. He feels
that any appeal to spiritual acti
vity must be an appeal to pa
tience and gradualism.
Chancellor Caldwell remind
ed the students that St. Aug
ustine’s College was founded
upon Christian faith, and the
school’s purpose Is to try to
help the student identify his
real self, individually, and free
that real self from some of
the things that he has been car
rying. “Claim yourselves with
all the good that goes with it,’
he urged.
The speaker stated that, In
addition to the burdens that
every man carries, Negroes
have had additional untruths
told about them. Si spite of
the fact that science has dis
credited the theories of race
superiority, the erroneous no
tion still persists.
“You don’t need a crutch to
clear your heritage,*’Dr. Cald
well stated. “Your heritage be
longs to you.” He said that,
if the Negro discover and
knows his abilities, the truth
about himself will unshackle
all limitations. “You will see
the walls come down, your
learning will be easier, your
aspirations higher, and there
will be a place in society for
you,” he predicted. “Begin
with your own conscience as a
Christian - to make sure claim
upon yourself, and everything
else that you do will make you
a success, the Chancellor con
cluded.
The speaker was presented
by Joseph B. Cheshire, Jr,,
vice - chairman, Board of
Trustees. Greetings were
brought by President. Robinson,
Purdie Anders, executive sec
retary, National Alumni Asso
ciation and Eugene Thomas,
president of the Student Coun

by American Documentary

ment with its Negro staff, will
turn over rights for distribu
tion in the Negro colleges to
finance the nucleus of a plan
ned communications center in
Harlem that will include film,
radio, television and press.
American Documentary
Films is a non-profit corpora
tion founded in San Francisco
by film artists for the produc
tion and distribution of films
that document social change
from a human and independent
point of view. They also dis
tribute other independently pro
duced films of social signifi
cance in both 16mm and 35mm,
Revolution in Black America
is the second film in their ser
ies planned to bring controver
sial subjects into the area of
public dialogue. Their most re
cent production, Sons and
Daughters, the film about the
Vietnam war and its effects oh
democracy, is being presented
at the New York Film Festi
val in Lincoln Center on Sept.
27th.
The basic approach to Revo
lution In Black America will
be that as seen from the inside
of the ghetto. Using a pro
grammed chain of vignettes and
contemporaneous events, the
film will open at the peak of
the civil rights struggle, link
ing the different strata of Negro
society to the movement of
events leading to and pivoting
around the assassination of
Mai com X, and culminating in
the recent risings in the cities.
The portrait of modern life
in the Negro community will
reveal the culture in all its depth
and variety through the politi
cal and dramatic use of Black
Arts. Wall paintings, Church,
music, collective chants, early*
middle and late Blues, the new
revolutionary sounds of John
Coltrane and Ornette Coleman,
spontaneous theatre and poetry,
all will contribute their emo
tional tension to the dramatic
far brie of Revolution in Black
America,
WRITER’S CONCEPTION
OF THE FILM
This film is the creation of
Black artists and is therefore
presented from the point of view
of the Black community. This
in itself is a dynamic step for
ward toward building a better
society, because the Black com
munity is rarely given a chance
to express their opinions In an
independent fashion. The cumu
lative results of oppression of
over 20 million Black people
are now threatening the survival
of the country. The natural
response of this oppression has
brought a gradual escalation of
the Black Revolution. Make no
mistake - the Black Revolu
tion is upon us; it exposes the
true image of America. It
strips away the hypocrisy and
illusions that have dominated
life in this land since the first
slaves were brought here in
chains, even before the birth of
the United States of America.
The Black Revolution is not
an isolated phenomenon, but
rather it is the focal point of
injustice endemic to the entire
society. It comes at a time when
there is wholesale dissent to all
sectors of Americas life. The
basic structure of national life
is now being challenged. It
may be possible to save Ameri
ca, but now as K is present
ly constituted. The radical
transformation of society is the
only way for honest men to
achieve their full potential.
The concern for honesty de
mands a precise and detailed
examination of current reality
and underlies the conception
of this film, REVOLUTION IN
BLACK AM2RICA.

What’s the only way to
get rid of wrinkles in your
laundry without ironing? Use
clothes made with "perma- I ||*| H Iff
nent press” and dry them in
an electric dryer.
Electric dryers and "per
manent press” are made for
each other. When "permanent
press” is tumble dried, wrin- l|ff%
kies fall out and creases fall
in . . . where they belong. No
ironing needed.
Os course, soft tumbling in an electric dryer reduces wrinkles
—and ironing—in ordinary clothes, too. '
So, give electric drying a tumble. Buy a new "wrinkle re- k
mover” from an electfic appliance deafer, soon.

Prison officials found them

when Jimmy Lee Mitchell, St©,
of Roxboro, was brought h#re

been stabbed by a white inmate,
James E. Russ, 20, of Durham.
The youthful prisoner was
said to be in serious condßSea

back, stomach, chest and arm.
He was slated to undergo sur
gery.
The stabbing was said to have
been done with what is becom
ing to be a common weapon, in
camps. It Is said to be made
from the prongs of a pitchfork
and this is the second time, la
recent months that the type of
weapon has been used ln prison
crime.
There is another angle that is
causing - most of the stabbing
has been done to Negroes, by
whites. A case involving two
whites was tried in Northamp
ton County Court not too long
ago and the accused men were j
freed. This involved the kill- *
ing of Negro prisoner.
Only recently a white prison
