The article focuses on the case of a Negro employee of the Birmingham Electric Company, who was alleged to have belittled the crime was taken out that night by two white men and shot through the head. Civic groups offered $3,000 for the apprehension of the murderer, and the following description based upon Nell Williams's recollection was broadcast for use in the search. The judgment of this case is the answer of one section of the White population of the South to the long, patient labors of the Interracial Commission. Fortunately it is not the answer of the dominant groups in the cities, for these groups are becoming increasingly sensitive to national criticism.
