Riverside Medford Negro Preacher Tells Portlanders Of Till Hearing Portland (U.R) A graying Negro preacher who performed an "unheard of feat for a Negro in Mississippi by testifying against whites at the Emmett Till murder trial, told a Portland audience last night that '"if I was shot the next moment I was going to testify." The Rev. Moses Wright ad dressed an "Emmett Till Protest Rally" sponsored by the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People at the Bethel African Methodist Church here. Grand Uncle of Slain Boy He is the grand uncle of the slain Chicago boy and was the state's star witness against two white men who were accused of the abduction and slaying of the boy who allegedly violated Mis sissippi's unwritten code of col ored behavior. Both white men were subse quently freed by all-white jur ors. The Rev. Wright said that the men who abducted his nephew from the Wright home told him "If you know any of us here you won't live to be 65." Wright is 64. Wright said he abandoned his home and crops after the trial after he received a warning that his life and those of his family were in danger. Testimony 'Unheard of Mrs. Ruby Hurley, secretary of the southwest region of the NAACP, told the Portland rally that Wright's testimony against white was "unheard of" in Miss sissippi.

"But it wasn't the first time since 1890 that a Negro was murdered by a white," she said. PORTLAND LIVESTOCK Portland (U.P.) Cattle for week 3.435.
