produced a John Doe warrant H

F.ve miles further on. the
lawyers were again overtaken
and stopped by the same three
cars of patrolmen who flashed
Wright lights inside the car,
and demanded that Marshall
show hls driving license, al¬
though Looby had by now tak¬
en over the wheel from Mar¬
shall. Upon seeing the license
the troopers let the group con¬
tinue on its way.
Just as they started the car

to Marshall, “We've got U

after a hasty conference, de¬
cided to follow the car. Af.ei
they had gone about ten mile;
further, the three cars
stopped, realizing they were be¬
ing tailed, and turned around
setting off this time in the di¬
rection of Columbia.
The procession turned in at
a magistrate in Columbia
where Marshall was
? drunken
with driving.
Marshall to the pudge, “If
believe I've been drinking,

to the. magistrates face.
The magistrate had to

trolman following their arrest

Foliowing his release by the
judge, Marshall, Looby, Weav¬
er and Raymond drove tl> the
Negro business section where
they felt they'd be reasonably
safe. There, Negro residents
provided them with another
car, and, getting into the law-
yeas’ car they all drove out
to the main road to Nashville.
Tills ruse successfully threw
t}ie trooper-filled cars off the
trail of the NAACP lawyers.
In their borrowed car, the men
reached Nashville safely, via a
back road
Immediately upon arrival in
Nashville, Marshall sent a tele¬
gram to Attorney General Tom
. Clark demanding an investiga¬
tion of the matte'r and asking
that criminal charges against’
the officers who participated
in the outrage be pressed. Said
Marshall: “This type of intim¬
idation of defense lawyers
charged with the d#ty of de¬
fending "persons charged with
crime cannot go unnoticed.”
