Georgians
Beat Man
To Death
ALBANY.—(ANP)—Af-
ter an absence of two years
the state of Georgia swung
back into the lynch column,
earning with the brutal beat-
ing to death of youthful Rob-
ert Hall the dubious distinc-
tion of providing the first il-
legal execution of 1943, it was
learned this week.
Behind the death of Hall was a
story of white hot hatred, the mis-
use of police authority, the forging
of a warrant a midnight abduction
and a fiction-like conspiracy to take
the life of a human being, that is so
often told in the South.
Fake Warrant
Hall was arrested Friday, Janu-
ary 29 after he had been forced
out of bed on automobile theft
charges in a fake warrant served by
Sheriff Claude Screws of Baker
county, accompanied by Policeman
Frank Jones.
Positive proof that the warrant
was a fake came to light this week
with the testimony of John C. Derm,
owner of the truck from which the
tire was allegedly stolen, that no
tire had been removed from the
vehicle and that he had preferred

High Tribute Paid To Rev. LV. Bolton
By Kansas City Pastor In letter
HOUSTON.—"I delight in you
because you take the part of the
underdog when he is right and
helpless,” the Rev. C. A. Wash-
ington, pastor of Stranger’s Rest
Baptist Church, Kansas City, *Kans.,
wrote the Rev. LeRoy Vester Bol-
ton, pastor of Mt. Corinth Baptist
church, and editor of the Christian
Examiner, local weekly paper, last
week under date of Feb. 3.
Rev. Mr. Washington who con-
ducted a revival here for several
days a few months ago, wrote his
former associate in Kansas follow-
ing recent bitterness experienced
by Rev. Mr. Bolton in newspaper
attacks and a gory fist fight with
C. R. Rice, local labor paper edi-
tor, in the latter's office January
16.
Rice filed charges against the
pastor-editor in the county criminal
court for aggravated assault and
battery after allegedly agreeing not
to do so in the presence of wit-
nesses and police officials of the
City of Houston. The case come up
for trial Feb. 11.

dice game of craps in which he
and Earl Posey, 3011 Bell street,
were the principals Monday, re-
suleted in Posey's arrest with a
swollen left eye when he had in
his possession a 12 guage unloaded
shotgun, with the shells in his hand,
looking for Randle at Bell and
Ennis where the pasttime was sup-
posed to have been engaged in,
according to police records.
Posey claimed to officers that
Randle had used some crooked dice
on him and beaten him out of
some money, and he went home and
got his gun after Randle had beaten
him up. Police said Posey returned
to the scene with the gun unloaded,
but with the shell in his hand.

Placed under arrest after the
midnight visit by the minions of

to have been lodged in the Baker
county jail.
It was not until 2:30 o'clock Sat-

what had really happened to Hall
came to light. It was at that hour
that employees of an Albany fu-
neral home received an ambulance
call to come to Newton, Georgia,
about 15 miles away and get a “nig-
ger I had to beat up."
The call relayed from ■ hospital
in Albany was reported to have
been sent by Sheriff Screws. The

in which he was found.
Hall, rushed to an Albany hos
pital, died a few minutes after he
had been admitted. / *
21 Abrasions
The body bore 21 abrasions and
contusions, and deep cuts in the
wrists leading observers to believe
that he had been tied behind an
automobile and dragged over rough
ground.
The back of his head had. been
beaten so badly, it was described
as being as “soft as a ripe tomato.”
The clothes were torn to shreds
and the entire body was covered
with dirt, further evidence that he
had been dragged behind a speeding
car.
Motive for the attack was sup-
plied by several white Baker coun-
ty residents after they had viewed
the youth’s remains. Sheriff Screws,
it was disclosed, had become angry
with Hall after the lynch victim
had appeared before the grand jury
seeking to recover a pistol which
had been removed from the pocket
of his car by Sheriff Screws.

joyed the respect of both races of
citizens in Baker county. He helped
repair all of the tractors and farm
implements in this section.

Besides his parents, the victim is
survived by his widow, a young
son, three sisters and four brothers,
all of whom reside in Baker county.
Thus far no charges have been
filed against Sheriff Screws, who
for several days was strangely ab-
sent from the community. Returning

have been spread that he is suf-
