JUSTICE FOR THE HUMBLE HUMBLER OBERT JONES has been saved from death R ROBERT on the gallows and will get a new trial Robert Jones is an obscure negro in Mississippi l He lie shot and killed a n police officer who tried to enter Jones' Jones home lOme while searching for the source of a pistol shot Now certain radicals will tell you that no southern negro has ms a ghost of a chance in a case like that lie He mi might ht escape lynching but certainly would stand no chance to escape prompt execution But the supreme court of Mississippi l felt otherwise It found that the dead peace officer er was beyond his llis rights in trying to enter Jones' Jones home without a proper warrant It reversed the lower courts and ordered ordered ordered or or- dered a new v trial The rhe appellant was in his home the court said and no person or officer had a right to enter except in strict accordance with the law No matter how humble humble humble-a a mans man's home is his castle Justice is not always the ghastly travesty some of our critics like to make of it In many cases it deals evenly and even cleanly even even to the most humble
