State Seeks Death Sentence For M _3l Lynchers
Police Ponder
Lab Findings In
Peachtree Murder
ATLANTA, May 16—(AP)—
Police studied the findings of a
laboratory examination today for
some clue that might lead them to
the sex slayer of Mrs. Paul Re
foule, comely auburn-haired so
ciety matron who was attacked
and strangled at her home Wed
nesday afternoon. :
Although it was undetermined
at the time her bruised body was
found in historic Peachtree Creek,
the sex motive was established
late yesterday by Dr. Herman
jones of the Fulton (Atlanta)
county crime laboratory.
Dr. Jones said his examination
revealed that the 31-year-old wife
of a French artist had been at
tacked and garroted, probably
with a length of rope knotted at
her throat.
The 'condition of food in the
¢lain woman’s stomach set the
time of death as between 3 p. m.
and 3:30 p. m. Wednesday, Dr.
Jones reported. Mrs. Refoule had
been hostess at a small luncheon
party that day and presumably
was assaulted soon aftar her hus
band and guests left her alone in
the house.
The body was found by blood
hounds late Wednesday night after
Refoule and his nine-year-old son
Jon returned home and discovered
that Mrs. Refoule was missing.
Police admitted that clues to the
sex-slaying were meager. Among
the clues under close scrutiny of
police was a minute particle of
reddish colored Fiber which Dr.
Jones reported he had found un
der 2 fingernail of the victim.
Assistant Police : Chief E. G.
Fitzgerald also pointed to the
prints of rubber soled shoes along
the bank of Peachtree Creek as of
possible importance in narching
for the society matron’s slayer.
Soft sands along the creek—famed
for the bloody crossing of Union
troops in the battle of Atlanta—
bore the marks of a struggle.
The victim’s feet were tied to
gether. Her underclothes had been
removed and her dress was pulled
up to her shoulders. Two valuable
diamond rings and a wrist watch
which' Mrs. Refoule had owned
for a decade are missing.
Fitzgerald reported that two
persons had told police they had
seen a white man in mid-after
noon on the bridge which spans
the creek only a short distance
from where the body was found in
about 10 inches of water. |
Ga. Supreme Court
Rules Settles
Entitled To Taxi
ATLANTA, May 16—(AP)—
The Georgia Supreme Court rul_ed
today that a Georgia municipality
can not deny a license to operate
2 taxicab to any citizen who com
plies with that ecity’s taxicab
regulations. -
To refuse a license without legal
justification or excuse violates the
equal rights provisions in both the
Federal and State Constitutions,
the high court ruled.
The decision, in an Athens case,
is the first that bears directly on
the efforts of war veterans to break
taxicab monopolies in several
Georgia cities, including Atlanta
and Savannah. ?
The case in point was filed by
C. H. Settles, operator of the Vet
erans Cab Company, in Athens.
Settles said he complied with all
ie requirements of an Athens
ordinance governing the operation
Ol taxicabs in that city, but was
denied a license by the Athens
City Couneil. i
The Clarke Superior Court or
dered the city to issue the license
and Mayor Robert L. McWhorter
dppealed the case.

MOCK AIR STRIKE
IS STAGED TODAY
OVERN. Y. CITY
NEW YORK, May 16 —(AP)—
From scattered fields over the na
tion, groups of Superfortresses be_
gan to take off before daybreak
to form a 120-plane amarda
which will be paraded ove- New
York City and other cities of the
Eastern Seaboard today. -
Airways traffic control at La

Salina, Kas., at 3:51 a, m, and
20 from Fort Worth, Texas at
4:15 a. m. :
Others were taking off from
Mac Dill Field, Fla., and Selfridge
Field, Mich. |
General George C. Kenney has
ordered this strength of his stra

over Cape May, N, J., in tim, to
‘makes its mock strike at New
York City at 11:30. The forma
tion will be a mile and a half
‘wide and six miles long. ‘
Reasons for the long range mis
sion over the eastern cities as,
officially stated were several, in
cluding:
To improve combat efficiency
of the SAC.
To find out if it is now ready
to assemble in formation perhaps
as many as 140 Sunerfo“tresses
comprising a “unified striking
force” capable of going anywhere
in the world and dropping any
thing, including atomic bombs.
To demonstrate to the nation’s
neople that the air force is recov- |
aring even if slowly, from de
nobilization days.
SAC bombers after the strike
at New York, were orde~ed .to
parade the striking force over
most of the big .eastern coast
cities as fa- south as Washington.

Truman's “Little
Cooperation” Rap
| WASHINGTON, May 16—(AP)
—The Republican chairman of
two House Committees which deal
‘with economic matters today chal
lenged President Truman’s asser
tion that there hasn’t been much
cooperation from Congress to pre~
vent a boom and bust.
, They said he should tell Con~
gress what he wants.
But the Democratic whip in that
chamber backed up the Chief
Executive, declaring the Repub
licans have been paving-the day
for a depression by “killing OPA,
practicing false economy and of
fering confused leadership.”
Thus comment followed party
lines after Mr. Truman told his
news conference yesterday there
is no necessity for a bust provided
common sense is used and greedy
people do not get control,
He added there hasn't been
much cooperation along that line
legislatively or publicly.
He said prices are still too high,
but he praised the price reduc
tions that have been made.
- Chairman Knutson (Minn) of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee took immediate exception to
the statement concerning legisla
tive cooperation, telling reporters:
: “Passing The Buck”
“It’'s an old, old game for the
White House to blame Congress.
The President should furnish Con
gress with a blueprint. Congress
has done everything possible to
halt an inflation spiral.”
And Chairman Wolcott (Mich)
of the House Banking Committee
put in:
“It is the duty of the President
to report from time to time on the
state of the union. If he has criti
cism or suggestions on the econo
mie. situation, he should zommuni
cate them to Congress.”
~ On the other side of the party
2, Rep. McCormack (Mass),
Democratic whip, said that
when OPA was killed “we were
‘promised by the National Associ
ation of Manufacturers and Re
publicans that everything would
be all right in 60 days, if we
would only let supply and demand
operate. But OPA now has been
dead seven months, and look at‘
your prices.”
Personal Prescription
. Mr. Truman recited his prescrip~
tion for averting a depression
after a reporter asked for his
views on a report written by Ches
ter Bowles, former OPA ° chief,
cautioning that a business collapse
is “imminent.”
The Chief Executive said he had
not yet received a copy of the
document and would not comment
on it directly.
Issued under the sponsorship of
Americans for Democratic action,
self-styled “liberal” political group
headed by former Federal Housing
Chief Wilson Wyatt, the Bowles
report among other things pro
posed a 10 per cent price rollback
and more wage boosts following
the reeent 15 cent an hour “pat-~
tern.” w

State Rounds Out

Evidence In S. C.
Probe Of Lynching
GREENVILLE, S. C., May
16. — (AP) — State prose
cutors rounded out a sordid
picture of lynch-murder to
day, dovetailing evigence
which they hope will send
some — perhaps all—of 31
white men to South Caro
lina’s electric chair.
The 31, most of them Green
ville taxi drivers are accused of
murder and conspiracy to mur
der in the lynching of negro
Willie Earle last February 17.
His body, slashed and beaten and
with its head a bloody pulp from
shotgun slugs, was found on a
frozen roadside not far from a
slaughterhouse.
Detailed statements purported
ly made by 18 self-identified
members of the mob, after their
arrest, have been used to sketch
in the nocturnal story of events
‘which culminated in the lynching
of the negro victim, accused of
fatally stabbing a white taxi dri
ver on the night preceding the
lynching.
. Eight more statements were
called up by prosecutor Sam
Watt today to round out the
state’s case.
Seven cab-drivers have put the
finger on one of their own num
be- as the shotgun executioner.
They have identified him a Roos
evelt Carlos Hurd, sr., 45-year
old taxi-dispatcher whose myo
pic vision gives him a perpetual
scowl. ;
Statements reag by the prose
cution 'in the first three days of
the t-ial repeatedly accused him
of firing the fatal volley. One of
them described him as “drunk.”
Didn’t Look
Hurd who says he went to
school only through the second
- grade, acknowledges he partici
pated in the lynching but insists
he dig not shoot the negro, He.
‘told police: “When I seen they
were going to kill the negro I
just turned around because 1 did
not want to see it happen.”
The prosecution read to the
jury vesterday an alleged state
ment by Jessie Lee Sammons, 29,
who related how he heard “the
cuttin oi cioth and flesh” when
the negro was knifeq by two or
more lynchers.
“The negro did not make any
sound,” this statement continued.
“A drunk man fired at ths negro.
He asked for more shells but no
body gave hLini meore sheiisil
know that move than one man
shot the negro.”
Defense Attorney Thomas Wof_
ford said Sammons was illiterate.
Begs For Merey
Earlier, the prosecution intro
duced a statement as that of
Franklin DeWitt Shephard, 28,
another cab driver which told
that the negro sank to the ground
under an assault of blows jusi
before hé was shot and cried:
“Lawd ha' mercy, you-all done
killed me.” : YN
James Robert Forrester, 33, in
a statement purportedly made to
police said he witnessed the stab
bing and beating, and named
Hurd and. Woodrow Clardy, 30,
as the leaders of the mob.
The Forrester statement des
seribed the beating administered
to the neg'o and added:
“Then I saw Hurg aim a shot
gun at the negro who by now was
on the ground, and I saw him '
shoot. 1 heard two more shots. 1
did not see who fired them, but
hearq Hurd ask for miore shells.”
