" A6 ALABARR WOUAN ACCUSES PRISONER Colored Man, Flrst of Nine in Scottshoro Trial, Iden- tified—Witness Missing. By the Associated Press. DECATUR, Ala., April 3.—In a court room of tense silence, Mrs. Victoria Price today identified Heywood Patter- son, Chattanooga, a- one of her attack- ers on a freight train near Scottsboro, Ala., two years 2g0. Patterson is the fst of nine colored | defendants in the “Seoitsboro case” to be retried in Morgan Circuit Court un- der & change of venue. ! Samuel S. Leibowitz of New York, chief of defense counsel, began an haustive cross examination, after licitor H. G. Bailey had completed rect examination in 16 minutes. | Miss Ruby Bates, second victim of | the alleged attack, still was missing and Sheriff A. W. Davis and counsel for both sides said they had no inkling as to her whereabouts. Witness Is™ Missing. Ruby Bates' name was called by Sheriffi Davis when witnesses in the case were called, but she failed to reply. There were only two white women | among the spectators, Mary Heaton Vorse of Boston, a writer, and Mrs. Fanny Horovitz of New York, sister of one of the defense attorneys. Mrs. Price, dressed in a plain black dress, entered court accompanied by her brother, Attorney General Thomas E. Knight, jr, told newspaper men she would be the first witness. The miniature freight train Samuel 8. Leibowitz, of New York, chief of defense counsel, will use in the defense | was brought into court in boxes and taken to the defense witness room. Attorney General Knight informed the court all of the State’s witnesses except the Bates girl were on the way | from Scottsboro, adding “the Stlte. doesn’t know where she is.” Court continued in informal recess awniting the arrival of the witnesses. Train Model on Table, ‘While witnesses were being assembled, Lefbowitz assembled the *“Scottsboro | Special” on a special table before the jury box, for use im cross-examining | State witnesses. ‘Under direct examination by Solicitor H. G. Bailey of the ninth district, who | cuted the cases two years ago, Mrs. Bolce begun ‘answering. questions in & | low_voice. “Seven white boys were on the trun after it left Stevenson,” she said. Twelve colored youths jumped on and began | fighting the white boys. Patterson, she said, was armed with‘ a pistol and during the fight forced | six of the seven white boys from the | train. She said Orville Gilley, one of the\ white boys, remained on the car, say- ing, “I'm afraid to jump, and I'm to stay on this car and die witl these girls.” i As the train halted at Paintrock the | colored youths. jumped from the car | and were arrested. Direct examination | ‘Was completed in 16 minutes. Model Cars “Different.” Samuel S. Leibowitz, chief of defense | counsel, started- cross-examination by seeking to have Mrs. Price identify on the miniature train, but she sald they did not resemble the cars. | “I ain’t that educated,” the woman retorted when Leibowitz asked her to figure her date of birth. . She gave her age as 21 at-the time of the attack. Mrs. Price became nettled as Leibo- witz persisted in questioning her about | her resistance of the attacks. | “I don’t know,” “I won't say,” “I just’| fought,” she replied to continued ques- | tions as to whether che bit, scratched | or kicked any one of them. } “T answered you four times” Mrs. | Price almost shouted as Leibowitz asked | her if she was knocked backward. A jury was completed Friday after wvirtually a week spent in argument over defense charges that colored persons ‘were excluded from jury service in Ala- bama for racial reasons. Motions to set aside the indictments and dismiss the | venire on that ground were overruled. Six other defendants are to be re- | tried here and = Attorney General | Thomas E. Knight, heading the prose- cution, has intimated he will seek to try them together on disposition of the | Patterson case. | Samuel C. Leibowitz of New York, in- vited into'the case by the International | Labor Defense, heads the defense counsel. | | Park and Skyline Drive, | along the crest of the Blue Ridge District’s Heroes in_the World War Compiled by Sergt.
