elusions that two out of the.21 pe ,oni
1 lynched in 193p "certainly" were in'
nocent and 11 bthers^'possibly" so
? weie advanced today by the Southern
' commission on the study of lynching
* along with a criticism of hasty trials
1 and?"legal lynching*."
The commission listed as findings
of a year's survey that: 1.
There is real doubt of guilt of
' at least half the victims of mob violence.
2 Fewer than one-fourth of the
persons lvnched since 1890 have been
accused "of ""hssaults upon white
' women.
fin ima thnt?lynohingn?see?necessary
because courts do not con?
vict?Negroes?for theft ,crimes., are
'! fallacious.
e . - - -
4. mod leaaers can be identified
3 .*
without-difficult although grand jury
indictments seldom are brought.
5. Lynching is most frequent per
t tens of thousands of Negro population
in sparsely-settled areas.
} 6. There is direct relationship be?
tween lack of education, low eceono?
mic status and lynching danger.
The report was made public by the.
commission's chairman, George Fort
Milton, president and editor of the
Chattanooga (Tenn.) News.
, Associated With him in the study
1 f
were:
Julian Harris, news director of the
' Atlanta Constitution; Dr. J.ohn Hope,
president of Atlanta university (for
Necrroes): Dr. Benjamin F. Hubert.
president cI Georgia /Uate college;
. Dr. Charles Sk-Johnson, department
_ of social science. Fisk university; Dr
\V, P, King, book editor of the Methodist
lEpiscopal church, South;. Dr.
W. J, M.cGlothlin-of-Greenville,. S,
C; president of Furmnn university1
of the Southern Baptist convention;
Dr. R. R. Morton, principal of Tuskegee
institute (for Negroes); Dr,
Howard W. Odum, 'University of
North Carolina.
Regarding offenses that resulted in
I lynching??, the commission said: "One
man was lynched solely because he
had offended political opponents and
another to prevent his appearance as
a witness^ in *a serious court case
against white men."
t In some cases, the commission said
s ~ "
it found reason to suspect victims
i had been deliberately "framed" for
o purpose^ of concealment or revenge
f I Georgia led in contributing to th'i
"18.693 lvnchiners since 1889. with 465
_ Mississippi'had 464; Texas, 364;
- Louisiana, 341). On the basis of per
centage ot Nogropopulation" l.vnchings
were most numerous in Florida,
j with Oklahoma, ^Arkansas and Texas,
e following in orde^.
3" The commission found 448 attempts
" ac lynching were prevented by prom/
r the fen years ending with ll)3l?.
