Section 19 of this Bill provides that: | “Any person who ‘aids or parti- cipates in a lynching or other act of violence directed against a per- son wholly or partly because of supposed ‘inferiority’ of race, color or nationality, or directed against @ person because of alleged or sus- pected crimes associa’ in public tradition with supposed ‘inferiority’ of race, nationality or color, shall be considered and adjudged guilty of a crime punishable by death.” The IL.D. raises the slogan of “Death to Lynchers,” and demands the application of the death penalty jin these cases and in the increasing |number of cases of wanton murder jof Negroes by police or individuals, | which now go completely unpunished.

They reported they were taking him into the city to lay charges of “having made im- proper proposals to a white woman,” against him, when he “tried to es- cape” from their moving car. 2. Fell Jenkins, 20, was beaten to death by three white farmers “at Aycock, La., January 11. They said he had been trespassing on the property of one of them. 3, 4, and 5. Three members of -a, Negro family of fishermen were. hacked to death on Tavernier Is~ land, one of the Florida keys, Jan, 19, by an invading gang of white men. ll further information, in- cluding the names of the victims, suppressed by the authorities. 6.

A 8. George Jeter, died February 19 at Aiken, S. C., from a beating ad+ ministered by three white men who later said he had “stolen their whiskey.” 9.

John Williams, lynched during first week of May, 1933, by a mob of seventy-five led by a@ sheriff. It was charged he had stolen a hog. 11. Will Kinsey, 25, lynched May 12 by mob of forty, following a dis- pute with his landlord in which his brother and the landlord were both killed.
