The association had investi ated the cases and appealed to you ,o aid it in securing competent coun el for the accused. You with mang others generously responded. We are now informing you of the results of *ur work since that date and are ask ing for your continued assistance. The board of directors, the first of December, secured the services of the firm of Murphy & McHanoy, prom nent white lawyers of Little Rock, Ark., and an eminent colored lawyer, Scipio A. Jones. An appeal to the ■upreme court was granted in the use of the twelve men condemned to leath. On March 29 the Arkansas state supreme court reversed the ac tion of the Phillips county district court in six of the cases and affirmed sentence in the other lix cases of the condemned men. These six men were ! tried again and again convicted. An ^ appeal is now pending in the supreme court of Arkansas. The cases of the other six came finally to the supreme court of the United States, which, on October 11, denied the writ of certi orari. Habeas corpus proceedings will have to be brought in the cases of these six men and probably in the cases of the others. While the work on the cases of the condemned men was in progress, the ssociation was engaged in protect ng the life of Robert L. Hill, accused >f having incited the Negroes to riot n Arkansas. Hill fled to Oklahoma ind v ent from there to Kansas, where 'ie was arrested, the governor of Ar kansas demanding his extradition, an extradition which, if it had been granted, would probably have result ed in his being railroaded to death. Extradition was* denied by Governor Allen of Kansas. The case was finally disposed of by a complete vindication if Hill, the attorney general of the United States ordc <ng both cases against Hill in the federal court to be dismissed. The association has before it today ‘he following work in the Arkansas cases: Securing commutation of sentence in the cases of the six men whose new trial has been denied, if the efforts in the federal courts fail. Defending the six men, condemned to death, who have been granted a new trial. Defending the cases of the siXty seven men (thirty of the ninety cases were dismissed) who were sentenced from one to twenty-one years. It is almost a year since you made a contribution of $40 to this Alkan es case. As you see, we are far from ; through with it, but we count our selves most fortunate to have secured funds to help us for so long a time. We have shortly, however, to make a payment to our attorneys of $5,000. We are therefore asking if you will not renew your gift of last year. We are confident that this will be the last appeal necessary in this matter. Our first work has been to try to save the lives and the liberty of sev enty-nine men who, as the story of the Arkansas disturbances shows, were poor agricultural laborers whom the state had failed to educate and whom the crop share system kept in a state of semi-slavery. Their fault lay in their effort to secure a lawyer to defend them against extortion of their landlords. We have spared no time or expense in defending these men, and in so doing we have dis closed conditions in Arkansas and rave aroused that sate to an appre ciation of these conditions. We have let in the light on one of the blackest sections in the country. We ask your commendation for this work and your help to complete it. Very sincerely yours, MARY W. OYTNGTON, Chairman. P.
