add to cart   close window

The article focuses on various social and political issues of the world during 1930. Six deaths so far make up the toll of race riot since July 4 in Emelle, Alabama, a small town near the Mississippi border. Trouble started in a quarrel over payment for the battery of a car, and a Negro shot down a white man. The Negro escaped, but his brother fell into the hands of the mob, which held him till night, then took him to the woods and hanged him to a tree. The Supreme Court of California has rendered its decision on the pardon petition of Warren K. Billings, now in his fourteenth year at San Quentin prison or the killing of ten persons in a Preparedness Day parade in 1916.
