More than thirty years have
passed since the organization was
formed. It was. at first, by nec
essity, a centralized body, suprem •
power being placed in the Board
of Directors. Because it was en
gaged in a fight for civil liberty
and local branches might he sub
ject to irresistable pressure in
backward communities, justificat
ion may be pleaded. Moreover,
we had not learned :n those early
years how to fight efficiently ur
der the forms of law. These lat

it is now necessary ro provide lor
a larger participation of the mc-m

of the Supreme Court cf the Unit
ed States is one of the b,st illus
trations in legal annals if the i;d
elity of the United Scites O.urt
to the constitution of the country.
« iiar.i^rs and thr^e c;ho- young 1
men were arrested in June of 1933
and charged with the murder cf a
white man. There was no evid-)
ence of their guilt. By torture,,
they were made to confess. Th(>.' j
were brought to trial and fouo 1
guilty and were sentenced to de'-Ur.
They appealed to the Supreme
Court o fthe United States and the
case was reversed and s nt bac
to Florida for a new trial. The
Colored men were again convict
ed an dthe cas^s was appealed ard
reversed. They were convicted a
third time and sentenced to death.
But the United States Supreme
Court again #reversed the Florida
court, holding that no conviction
could stand based upon a confes
sion obtained by duress or force
of any kind.
On March 10th, 1942, the case
was again called for trial in the
District Court of Florida and the
trial judge freed the defendants,
remarking that the U. S. Supreme
Court had held no conviction could
be valid based on a forced confi>s- i
sion.
Two Negro lawyers, McGill of
Jacksonville, Florida and Ransom
of Washington, D. C. conducted the
defense from the beginning to the
end of this case. The value of
this accomplishment should not be
lost on the Colored People.
