Causing Death of
Sailor, Handed
'Abyssinian Princes" Whc
Headed "Return to Africa"
Movement for Negroes, Ex
piate Crime on Scaffold.
Chicago, Time 24. Grovcr C.
Redding and Oscar McGavick. ne
Kroes, were hanged together at 7:27
today for the killing of Robert Rose
a sailor in connection with the
"Abyssinian riots" last June.
They appeared calm when they
walke,d upon the scaffold.
Both ; slept during the nifiht and
Redding ate a hearty breakfast.
They had attempted to use the
same sanity test which has saved,
t least temporarily, the necks of
Gene Geary, notorious murderer, and
Carl Wanderer, slayer of three.
. Sheriff Peters retained possession
of the corpses of Redding and Mc
Gavick for more than an hour.
He Rave as his reason that reports
had reached him recently that an at
tempt had been made to restore life
to the body of a man hanged two
months ago in the county jail after
'.t had left the custody of the county
authorities.
The so-called "Abyssinian riots"
occurred on the evening of June 30,
1920, when a band of negroes, led by
Redding and others terming them
selves 'Trinces of Abyssinia" and
:onnccted with a movement for the
return of negroes to Africa, staged a
parade. The parade ended with a
bonfire, during which an American
flag was tossed on the blaze. Rose
attempted to rescue the flag and, was
shot to death from an automobile.
The paraders scattered and some ran
into a nearby building and in pro
miscuous firing which followed. Jo
seph Hoy, cigar clerk, was killed and
Toseph Powers, negro policeman, and
William Carter, negro butler, were
wounded.

Where It Started
Editorials.
Editorials, or "leading articles" as
they are called in England, were first
used in the Leeds Mercury; this
paper published a series of "leaders,"
commencing in 1801. The fashion did
not take long to spread to other
papers, and it is now an indispensi
ble part of the modern journal's
make-up.

He had no right to marry her."
