Await Testimony In Wolf Whistle Trial Two Witnesses To Figure Prominently SUMNER. Mbs. (INS) — "Uncle Mose” Wright dramatically Identified Roy Bryant and John W. Mil-1 am In court today as the two white | men who invaded his home on the night of Aug. 28 and spirited away Emmett L. Till, a 14-year-old Chicago Negro boy. -Standing in the witpess box. Wright pointed a lean, accusing finger at both Bryant and Milan, and in a loud voice declared: “There they are." Bryant and Milam, who are an trial for the murder of the Till boy. stared back at the 64-year-old witness. Bryant, an ex-paratrooper, showed no emotions but his halfbrother Milam shifted nervously in his seat as he puffed on a cigaret. Tenant farmer “Uncle Mose” was the first witness for the state and the first witness of the trial. Wright said he is married, has 12 children, three of whom were home the night the men showed up around 2 am., after parking their car in front of his house. Mose said he had come to the front door in response to loud knocking. He said one of the men shouted: "Preacher! Preacher! This Is Mr. Bryant.

fendant's wife, and to have "wolf whistled” at her when he and several other Negro boys entered the Bryant general store on Aug. 24 to buy bubblegum. Another important witness will be Mrs. Mamie Bradley of Chicago, mother of the slain youth. She flew down to'Mississippi to be a witness for the prosecution. Mrs. lUadley is expected to testify that there is no question in her mind that the body found in the river was that of her boy. Tlje body was badly decomposed when it was found and it has been implied that maybe the body was that of someone else. The bereaved mother is a widow whose husband Louis Till, an army veteran of the African and Italian campaigns, died in Europe i 19+5. Just before yUug Till cam* south to visit his Uncle IKaeTbe was wearing his father's signet ring, made in France or Italy and bearing the engraved initials "L. T,” Mrs. Bradley says the rig was sp big the Emmatt used to pack it with tape so it wouldn’t drop off his finger. A ring was found with the body that was dragged from the Tallahatchie river. If the ring is produced in court, Mrs. Bradley may identify it as the one worn by her son. While the state has announced it will call 13 witnesses, there was a possibility that this list will be amplified District attorney Gerald Chatham said some of the witnesses have provided information that may cause him to summon additional state witnesses. The defense has stipulated it will call at least ten witnesses. All this indicates that the trial will last longer than had been expetted. Both sides gave the impression at the outset that the trial would last only a few days. Not So Bod LOS ANGELES.

LOUIE nifl Democratic Farm Heads In Meeting Refuse To Reveal Campaign Strategy CHICAGO (INS) — Democratic farm leaders kept mum today on what, if any, 1956 campaign strat egy they had decided upon during a two day meeting in Chicago. The committee, headed by former secretary of agriculture Claude, R, Wlckard. merely announced it made "substantial progress" and would meet again in Chicago Nov. 18 to give "further consideration" to farm problems. It was reported, however, that one of the principle price and income measures discussed was a plan variously known as "acreage reserve,” "soil bank.” and “leased acreage.” This is a system of taking'a certain amount of acreage out of production each year, with the government supplementing the farmers' income by leasing or renting the land not planted.

The committee said it learned j that the Eisenhower administration | sent a letter to the house agriculture committee last July opposing this approach.
