LYNCHINGS EXCEED ONE-A-WEEK SINCE JUNE, ROOSEVELT TOLD

came apparent that Congress was not to enact a federal antilynching law during its closing days. Lynchings in the United States have been at the rate of more than one a week bearing out the prediction of this Association and others who urged a federal anti-lynching bill that lynchings would increase as soon as the threat of federal legislation was removed.

He and Houey were being taken to the trial at Ashland Miss, when masked mobs "over-powered" the officers transporting them.
