Angelo Herndon to
Speak Here July 15th
Complete in all its horrible de
tails ,a twelve-foot replica of the
cage used by chain-gang prison
ers will arrive here on Monday,
July 15th. The cage, built on a
truck, is being taken on a coast
to-eoast tour by Angelo Herndon,
22 year-old Negro whose sentence
of 18 to 20 years on the Georgia
chain-gang the United States
Supreme Court recently upheld.
Herndon, for whom a stay of
eecution has been secured until
the fall, when the attorneys of
the International Labor Defense
will press for a re-hearing, before
the highest court, will speak in
Omaha, Monday night at 8
o’clock.’ A permit is being re
quested from the City Commis
sioners for the use of Grant
Street, just west of 24th, for the
meeting, between 7:30 and 10:00
o’clock, p. m. If request is refused,
will hold meeting at 24th, and
Blondo Streets.
The chain-gang display will be
shown at the meeting. In case of
rain the meeting will be held at
the Workers Center, 2404 Parker
Street, at 8 o’clock Monday even
ing.
The chain-gang cage, which is
12 feet long, seven feet wide and
seven feet high, is two-thirds the
actual size of the cages in which
Georgia prisoners spend their
nights. It was built under the
supervsiion of John L. Spivak,
whose exposure of Georgia chain
gangs rocked the country a few
years ago.
The cage resembles a huge cir
cus wagon. It is enclosed by
latticed iron bars. There are
three-decker tiers of bunks cov
ered with thin mattresses of bur
lap stuffed with straw.
To illustrate the horrors of the
chain-gang volunteers will don
the striped uniforms of convicts
and take the part of prisoners. |
In addition to the cage, there
will be on display models of the
instruments of torture commonly
used on the Georgia chain-gang
There will be “stocks,’’ in which
the prisoner lies three inches
from the ground, his whole weight
suspended from his wrists and
ankles.
Herndon, who faces these tor
tures if he goes fO the chain-gang,
was convicted in Atlanta in 1933,
of “inciting to insurrection.’’ The
statute on which he was indicted
is based on a law of pre-Civil War
days, designed to crush slave up
risings. The state asked the death
penalty but the jury recommend
ed 18 to 20 years on the chain
gang.
Ht<rndon’s attorneys, employed
by the International Labor Defen
se, then appealed to the United
States Supreme Court, which re
fused by a six to threee decision
to reverse sentence, on the basis
of a technicality. A stay of exe
cution was obtained, and a re
hearing will be pressed. Mean
while Herndon is out on bond of
$15,000 cash raised by popular
subscription. A drive is now be
ing made to gain two million sig
natures to a petition to Governor
Eugene Talmadge of Georgia,
asking Herndon’s freedom and
asking also the repeal of the
‘slave insurrection’’ law.
Russian Woman, 67,

One Killed In ’
Row Over Hog
ANOTHER FARMER MAY DIE
AFTER SHOOTING AS RESULT
OF FEUD
Freeport, 111., ;July 10—A feud be
twen two aged farmers over straying
hogs resulted today in the death of

have developed when Prof. Gaston
Jeze, legal adviser to the Ethiopian
government, asserted that Ualual,
scene of the first major frontier inci
dent, was in Ethiopian territory.
The Italian representatives entered
a strong protest against such testi
mony, asserting that the commission
was empowered to consider only the
causes of incidents.
They insisted they would hear no
more evidence from Prof. Jeze- When
the Ethiopian adviser persisted in
giving his views, the session ended.
A proposal to call in a neutral fifth
member to resolve the deadlock had
been discussed, but the Italian repre
sentatives would not agree to such a
step

Predict Italy to Quit League If
Session Called.
Geneva, July 10.—'Italian circles
predicted today that Italy will resign
from the League of Nations if a spe
cial session of that body is called on
the Italo-Ethiopian conflict. A spe
cial session appears likely because of |
the breakdown in the conciliation |
commission proceedings.
A resolution adopted by the league
council May 25 provided a special ses
sion of the council should be called
July 25 if the Italo-Ethiopian arbitra
tors failed to reach an agreement and
failed to appoint a fifth arbitrator to
act as umpire.
Jt also provided for a council ses
sion August 25, at all events, if the
dispute had not been settled by that
time
Today the Italo-Ethiopian concil
iation commission, meeting at Sche- j
veningen, Netherlands, decided to sus
pend its sessions indefinitely.
The dispute between Italy and the
African empire already has gravely
affected the work of economic and fi
nancial experts who are meeting here
privately to study the feasibility of
imposing economic and financial pen- j
alties on nations endangering peace
through the repudiations of interna
tional treaties.
Italy Believes Its Path Is Clear.
Rome, |July 11,—Italy believed to
night a path from Rome to Addis
Ababa was clear/
Official circles said there was
scarcely a possibility of English in
tervention; there is no doubt of
France’s friendly neutrality, and the S
United States has just declared its |
neutrality.
Germany is now friendly, they
said, and Russia will be friendly be
cause of France. The only foreign
nation England may possibly per
suade to her point of view was be
lieved here to be Japaji, which has
growing commercial interests in
Ethiopia, but Japan apparently has
her hands full with the Chinese and
Manchoukuon situations.
There' remained only the League
of Nations, of which Benito Musso
lini has no fear. Before that assemb
ly Italy does not intend to remain
on the defensive, but will take the of
fensive with charges that Ethiopia
violated the conditions under which
she was permitted to enter, and
should be reduced to the rank of a
mandate.
If the league should attempt to con
demn Italy, official circles disclosed, j
II Duce would not have the slightest;
hesitation about leaving Geneva.
Meanwhile Italy continued military
preparations against Abyssinia to- j
day by calling to the colors all sub
officers and soldiers classified as
specialists or technicians and belong
ing to the classes of 1909 and 1910.

or furnished.
He concludes with the ultimatum:
“In connection herewith I wish you
