(BY LAWRENCE P. LEWIS)
HOW TO BE A SALESMAN
After being turned down last
week as an entertainer at the
Benefit Dance given for the widow
and child of the late James E.
Seay, at the AMVETS Club, 24th
and Miami on Monday, March 17,
I was a little undecided as to what
I would do the night of the dance.
Surely I could do something to
make this gala affair a success.
I decided that I would sell tick
ets. With the price only a dollar
plus tax and the purpose so needy,
so necessary, I felt that I would
not need any sales talk. How
wrong I was.
As I walked down 24th Street
with my hopes high and tickets to
sell in my pocket, I approached a
perfect stranger, at least a perfect
stranger to me, and I said, “Say,
Mister, would you like to buy a
ticket to a dance?”
"What dance?’’ he asked without
answering, eyeing me all at the
same time.
“The dance at the AMVETS Club
I replied. “I have some tickets
here in my pocket and I would like
to sell you one of them."
“They dance at the AMVETS
Club every night,” the gentleman
said. “Did you see the floor show
last week?’’ he continued. “Boy,
it was swell They had dances,
singing,_”
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t get to
see the show," I answered, cutt
ing him off, and getting to the
point.
“I would like to sell you a tick
et to a dance.”
“Oh yes. a dance. What dance
are you talking about?” he asked.
"The dance at the AMVETS
Club,” I answered.
"You said that before,” he said.
“Yes I did,” I replied. “Would
you care to purchase a ticket?”
“A ticket to what?” the gentle
man asked.
“To the dance .at the AMVETS
Club,” I replied.
“You said that before,” he said.
“I know I said that before, but
I have to say it in order to sell you
a ticket," I remarked nervously.
“Who said I was going to buy a
ticket?" he asked.
"Nobody said it.’ I replied.
“You just said it,” the gentleman
said quite loudly.
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t mean to
say it,” I said.
“Oh, then you don’t want to sell
tickets?” he asked.
“Of course, I have them here in
my pocket,” I replied.
“When is this dance going to be ?
the gentleman asked.
"On the 17th of March,” I re
plied.
The gentleman stopped talking,
and by the looks of it, was trying
to think. He looked up the street
and then down the street, as if
wanting someone or something to
come and relieve him of this situ
ation.
‘The dance will be a swell affair”
I remarked quite hastily. “I’m go

“Does that make a difference?”
he asked.
“Of course. Everyone wants to
go places where they can enjoy
theirselves?” I answered.
“I mean by your going,” he said.
“No, no. It’s just that I don’t go
often,” I replied.
"That doesn’t mean anything to
me,” the gentleman said.
“I know that, but I just made a
remark,” I said.
“Can’t you dance?” he question
ed.
“Of course I can,” I replied.
“Then why don’t you go to danc
es?” he asked
“I do,” I answered.
“But you don’t like to dance,” he
said.
“I do like to dance,” I spoke
sharply.
“Then why don’t you go often?”
he asked.
“Say Mister,” I said slowly.
“Don’t say anything for just one
minute and I will tell you all about
it. It is a Benefit Dance held for
the widow of the late James Seay,
and it will be held at the AM VETS

husband was a veteran of World
War H, serving three and one-half
years in the Armed Forces of the
United States. Now will you buy
a ticket?”
“Why didn't you say so. .1 will
buy two tickets,” the gentleman
said, reaching in his pocket and
giving me the money.
“Thank you, thank you,” I said
almost exhausted. “You have aid
your goed deed for the day, and I
hope that yu« have the time of
your life at the dance.”

MINDEN LYNCHERS
BROUGHT TO TRIAL
Bludgeon, Rope Scared
Negro Youth Takes Stand
Against Lynchers
Shreveport, La., Feb. 28 (BY
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT)
One of the most dramatic episodes
in the history of the National As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People’s struggle to afford
protection to Negroes in the south
was recalled in the Federal District
Court last week when a quiet Ne
gro youth, whose eyes still reflect
ed the terror of being hunted down
by a mob of blood thirsty killers,
related his story from the witness
stand in the trial of five white
men charged with the blow-torch
torture-lynching of a young Negro
war veteran near Minden, La., last
August 8th. The 17 year old wit
ness, Albert Harris whose body is
still covered with the scars left by
the lynchers’ ropes and bludgeons,
stood on the stand only by virtue
of the fact that NAACP investiga
tors, whose lives were also imper
iled, cooperating with the Assoc
iation’s officials in New York, had
outwitted the mob last summer
and had spirited the youth out of
Louisiana while the nation’s press
and radio reported his fantastic
plane and auto flight to safety in
the northern Michigan woods.
The precedent-making trial in
Federal District Court of the five
white men charged with depriving
two Negroes, one of whom was
beaten to death of their civil liber
ties went into its second day Tues.
with defense counsel making the
dramatic charge that “this pros
ecution has been engineered by
minority elements in the east.’’
The five white men, two of them
deputy sheriffs of Webster Parish
Louisiana, are charged with con
spiracy to deprive Albert Harris,
Jr., and John C- Jones, Negro resi
dent of Webster Parish, of rights
privileges,,and immunities guaran
teed them under the Constitution.
Federal District Attorney Malcolm
LaFargue stated Monday at the
opening of the trial, that prosecu
tion would prove that Deputy Sher
iff O. H. Haynes, Jr., one of the
defendants, released Jones and Har
ris to a mob who were present at
the Webster Parish jail at8:30 PM
August 8, 1946, and that the other
defendants, members of the group
on trial, took Harris and Jones to
a bayou three miles north of Min
den, beat Harris unconscious and
beat Jones fatally. Other defend
ants in the case are Sam Maddry,
Sr.. W. D. Perkins, Harry Perry'
and Deputy Sheriff C. N. Edwards
Charges against Minden Police
Chief Benjamin Gantt, previously
were dropped because of lack of
evidence.
During cross examination Tues
day, defense counsel asked Benj
amin Gantt whether or not FBI.
Agents Kline Weatherford and
Vincent Drain had not told him
that “they had orders from Wash
ington to get indictments at any
cost,” and whether or not the a
gents had threatened witness with
perjury charges if “they did not
say the right thing.” When the
District Attorney objected, defense
counsel stated that they were ask
ing this question to show that ‘this
is a political prosecution,’’ and that
Washington was instigating it to
satisfy certain minority elements
in the east- Defense Attorneys sus
tained a double defeat on this ques
tion. Police Chief Gantt replied
that the FBI Agents had stated
only that they had been instructed
to investigate the matter and bring
guilty ones before the Grand jury.
Also, Federal Judge Gaston L. Por
terie ruled that they must confine
the case strictly to the issue of
whether the defendants are guilty
of depriving the two Negroes of
civil liberty.
During the cross examination of
Negro eye witnesses Defense At
torneys sought to imply that the
FBI. Agents had used intimidat
ion and threats in securing their
evidence. Albert Harris, Jr., was
jailed in the Webster Parish jail
last August after Sam Maddry Jr.,
charged that Harris had been seen
loitering in his yard at night
while Maddry was working. Har
■ ris denied this, but was kept in
jail for two days without charges
being filed. Then, Harris testified
Deputy Sheriff Haynes told him
they were releasing him and that
he, Haynes, would drive him down
the highway on his way home.
Haynes let Harris out at an inter
section near Minden where, Harris
testified, an automobile full of
white men, including Maddry, Sr,
and Perkins, were waiting. They
forced him into the car took him
off the highway and there beat
him until he had agreed to say
that ex-Corpral John Jones had
been prowlirfg in Maddry’s yard
seeking to molest Maddry’s wife.
Harris testified that the men
threatened to shoot him unless he
incriminated Jones.
Harris was picked up again in 2
days and placed in a cell across
from Jones. While the two were
confined there Harris testified
that he heard Maddry, Sr., tell
Deputy Sheriff Haynes to “Let us
have them and we’ll make them
talk’’ At 8:30 p.m., August 8th,
they were led to the court yard by
Haynes, where a mob was waiting.
Jones was beaten on the head,
when he attempted escape, and put
into one car. Harris was put into
another where he was struck on
the head each time he tried to sit
upright. They were taken about
three miles from Minden, near Dor
cheat Bayou, Harris continued,
where he was stripped and beaten
until he lost consciousness. When
he recovered, he heard Jones groan
ing. The ex-Corporal asked for
water, which Harris brought him
in a shoe. “Tell Keeny to take
care of girl,” were his only words
and he then died in his compan
ion’s lap. Defense Attorney Whit
field Jack asked Harris if it was
not true that he himself had killed
Jones which Harris denied.
Tuesday’s witnesses for the pros
ecution consisted of an impressive
array of eye witnesses, white and
Negro, who saw the two Negroes
seized by the mob in front of the
jail. A Negro couple also testi
fied that Jones had been at their
home the entire evening on the
Monday night when, Mr. and Mrs.
Maddry Jr., alleged, he was sup
posed to have been trying to break
into the Maddry home. Besides
seeking to imply that the FBI had
used Gestapo methods in getting
evidence, defense counsel asked

CHICAGO—Two Negro investi
gators figured prominently in ex
posing a huge sugar racket and a
budding counterfeit ring, compos
ed of both colored and whites, on
Chicago’s southside last week. Fed
eral agents estimated that more
than 8,000,000 pounds of the prec
ious stuff had been diverted from
the regular channels into black
market operations- Counterfeit
sugar stamps and stolen ration
books both were used.
Six months ago, Washington O
PA officials became alarmed over
the large quantities of stamps that
were missing and issued orders for
a careful checkup on all sugar
transactions. As a result of this
move, two Negro secret investiga
tors were sent to Chicago from
New York and quiently, but swift
ly, began to hunt out the “brains”
of the racket.
The sleuths were told to frequent
southside night spots and taverns
to make contact with the “big
shots.” Within two weeks they
were taken into the confidence of
the leaders. Shortly afterwards
they were taking part in selling
and transferring the stolen and
counterfeit stamps and collecting
information that was to blow the
lid off the racket. They traced a
series of deals that stretched from
New York to Los Angeles.
The stamp prices varied from
three cents to 30 cents, depending
upon whether they were counter
feit or the real thing, and upon the
number of pay-off3 in the trans
actions.
The buyers indicted by a federal
jury here included candy manu
facturers, food manufacturers, bak
ers, truck drivers in the yeast de
partment of Anheuser-Busch, a
sugar broker and a bottling works
operator.
Included among the leaders were
290 pound James (Big Jim) Win
ters, owner of a southside livery
service, and his body guard, Rob
ert (Bob the Mole) Bailey, age 30.
Winters was already under a three
years’ probation on a charge of re
ceiving stolen property. Yancey
Bridgeforth, owner of a taxicab
1 company, is said to have made ov
er $250,000 from the racket. Ira
Roberts is now awaiting trial in
federal court in Tulsa, Okla., un
der a charge of transporting 50,
000 counterfeit stamps. One of the
Negro sugar kings, at one a clerk
at $25 per week, was able to pay
kidnappers $20,000 in ransom mon
ey for his release.
Investigations into the sugar
racket brought to light a bold plan
to make $20,000,000 in counterfeit |
money on paper formerly used by
the government for printing Chin
ese currency. The paper, similar
to that now used by the govern
ment, had been stolen for the pur
pose Federal agents nipped the
scheme by seizing the paper.
