All Set Free
In Lynch Trial
GREENVILLE, S.C., May 21
(AP)—A Greenville county jury
freed 28 white men Wednesday
night of charges that they lynched
a South Carolina negro, returning
straight acquittals in 98 separate
verdicts on a four-count murder
and conspiracy indictment.
The crushing rejection of prose
cution allegations, which had in
cluded unsworn statements by 26
self-acknowledged members of the
mob, closed an historic case which
began here nine days ago.
The men were accused of taking
Willie Earle, 23-year-old negro,
from Pickens, S.C., jail last Feb
ruary 17, and butchering him on
a lonely roadside for the alleged
stabbing of a white taxi-driver.

Medical association, accepting the
entrance requirements of that body
and the enrollment increased from
29 in 1893 to 89 to 1902.

WASHINGTON, May 21 (AP)—
Former Congressman Andrew J.
May testified Wednesday he went
to the rescue of the munitions-mak
ing Garsson brothers in 1942 be- >
cause army ordnance officers called 1
them “a bunch of kikes” and re
fused to let them bid on contracts.
"I thought men who wanted to

without regard to color, race or
creed,” May told the federal court
jury in his trial on charges of sell-'
ing his influence to the Garssons.
