MOB HANGS HANGS NEGRO
BOY FROM OAK TREE
SECOND LYNCHING IN ’35
Maringouin, La.—Because he dar
ed to protect himself from the
assauL of a white man, Anderson
Ward, became the second known
victim of lynching this year.
Town officials allowed the body
to hang from the bough of an oak
tree for several hours before they
cut it down, in the hope, no doubt,
that the sight would terrorize the
Negro population of the neighbor
hood.
Ward and a white man, Den
nis Brudroe, had an argument on
the afternoon of February 24th.
Brudroe, drew his gun in an at
tempt to shoot Ward, but the gun
failed to explode. Meanwhile
Ward struck out to protect him
self, but actually dealt no blows
because another Negro drew him
away.
As soon as news of the affair
spread ,a lynch gang of about 25
started a man hunt for Ward. Al
though he was locked in the local
jail, no real effort was made to
protect him and the mob easily
broke in and seized him.
When Ward’s body was found,
swinging from a branch, it wai
discovered to be full of gunsho
wounds. To prevent his making
any cry for help, the lynchers hao
gagged him with a bandage.
A swift and efficient wrhite
wash, with the usual verdict oi
kil'ing “by parties unknown” has
been made by ;he town officials
PRESSING FOR THE PRIZE
By R. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Discouragements are everj where,
And oft we’re tempted to despair.
But all who may be truly wise,
Will still keep pressing for the prize.
Day after day, always ahead,
Are paths unknown our feet must
tread;
Dangers portentous arise,
But. failure means to lose the prize.
Life is compared unto a race,
And one m,ust fainting courage brace,
For all that still before him lies,
And still press onward toward the
prize.
Who would attain to high renown,
And wear, at last the victor’s crown,
Must hellish furies all despise,
And press on ever, toward the prize.
PROVERBS AND PARABLES
By A. B. Mann
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Where There’s Breath There’s Hope
This is from the Latin maxim which
runs ‘Dun spiro, spero’—‘While 1
breathe I hope.’ This a fierce slap in
the face of the whining pessimist and
the abjeet coward.
Life is not gone until the last
breath is gone. As long as life re
mains there is hope of its extension.
And hope for its extension means hope
for the opportunity to prosecute any
work yet incomplete.
Hope is a cardinal virtue. Except
love it is the most enduring. It is a
treasure which lost means poverty
and utter discouragement. So, one
should never allow circumstances to
extinguish the flame of hope. Of hope
Alexander Pope wrote:
“Hope springs eternal in the human
breast
Man never is, but always to be
blessed;”
and this is the secret of human pro
gress.

ASKS FEDERAL ACTION
IN MISSISSIPPI LYNCHING
I
Third Mob Murder of 1935 Was Inter
state Kidnapping and Can Be
Classified Under Lindbergh
Law, Says White.
New York, March, 1935—A request
that the federal government act
against the kidnapers and lynchers of
i Ab Young, put to death by a mob in
a school yard at Slayden, Miss., March
12, was telegraphed to President
| Roosevelt and Attorney General Ho
i mer S. Cummings by the National As
sociation for the Advancement o± Col
ored People as soon as the 1. nching
became known.
Young was captured at Rossville,
Tenn. and transported across the
state line into Mississippi where he
was hanged and shot. He was ac
j cused of murdering a white highway
employe. The NAACP telegram to
Attorney General Cummings, signed
by Walter White, secretary, declared
the federal government had the power
to act under the Lindbergh kidnaping
law and said: “In the name of the
laws which you have taken a solemn
; oath to uphold we vigorously insist
■ that your department proceed at once
against the kidnapers of Young yes
terday.”
To President Roosevelt the NAACP'
secretary cited the Young lynching as
the third in 1935 and the second in
five months where a victim has been
transported across a state line. He
called upon the Chief Executive to
spur the Department of Justice to
action and to urge immediately the
passage of the Costigan-Wagner anti
lynching bill which has just been re
ported favorably out of cbmmittee.
j According to a special story in the
j Memphis Press-Sciirtitar, Young was |
captured and held prisoner in the
school house just outside of Slayden
from noon until 4:10 p. m., when he
was hanged. During this time prac- 1
tically the whole town was arguing
whether Young should be turned over
to officers rushing there from Holly
Springs, Miss, or whether he should be
burned alive. It seems the argument
was about fifty-fifty, with more in
favor of burning, but those in favor 1
of the layv were very stubborn, though
outnumbered. While the argument
was at its height about fifty men are
said to have become “disgusted.”!
They left in automobiles and hanged
Young quickly by driving a truck out
from under him. They then returned
' to town and told the rest of the pop-!
ulation that the argument was “all
settled/’
It is said Young’s neck was not
broken by the crude method of hang
mg He slowly strangled to death.
Willie he was in his last agonies, a few
of the younger whites began shooting
at his body for fun. More and more
joined in taking “pot shots” at the
swinging corpse until it was riddled
w.th bullets.
A jury quickly returned a verdict of
death at the hands of “parties un
known.” It is certain that local and
state authorities will take no further
action.
The text of the NAACP telegram
to President Roosevelt:
“The third lynching of nineteen
thirty-five took place yesterday at
olayden, Mississippi when Ab Young
suspected of murder, was killed by a
m° ‘ '7113 is the second instance
within the last five months where a
V'Ctim was kidnapped by a mob and
transported across a state line. Young
was seized according to the Associated
Press by a mob at Rossville, Tenn
essee, taken across the state line in
to Mississippi and there lynched.
This is unquestionably a clear viola
tion of the so-called Lindbergh Kid
napping Law which provides for fed
eral action in cases of kidnapping or
abduction “for ransom reward or

we urge you to order the Department

We urge that the department be not
