HOLLINS ATTORNEYS SCORE BIO SURPRISE IN OKLAHOMA RAPE TRMtrBROIMI CHARGESINTIMACY

OKHULGEE. Okla.. Feb. &*-- (AN^)—“A’s a Up! It’s a lier* shouted Alta McCullom, 21-year-oUl white girl, in the court room ot Judge J. Harvey Smith Tuesday when Defense Attorney W. Shearer Brown, employed by the N. A. A. C. P M abruptly qpHed her. “Weren’t you voluntarily intimate with Jess Hollins two or three times on different occasions, and didn’t he pay you $1 at one time and .TO cents a-, two other planned affairs?.” The scene waa the retrial of Hollins. convicted and sentenced m death for the alleged rape of the white girl. His case was' entered by the N. A, A. 0. P. and. carried to the United States Supreme court where a new trial vyas ordered in what is termed Oklahoma's “Scotts boro case.” The court session, which began Monday, has been marked by successful efforts of the defense attorney to Ijefuddle and break down the testimony of the complaining witness. “Didn’t, yon have your husband nirested recently charged with raping a pig.” demanded the relentless defense counsel at one point in the

proceeding.

"No” sald jlie. confused girl, as EverelJt Collins.and his assistant. Sam Hands, prosecutors leaped to their feet objecting to the question.

Outwitted

If was too late, however, because the question had l>een asked amt answered. The adroit Brown had slipped a fast one over the Cr<H»iv County official^, who quite evidently did qot intend to allow the jury to know that the McCullom woman had. had a recent fracas with her husband, and of the serious nature named by Brown. Early in the morning the defense had sent Attorney Joseph Evans. Okmulgee, to Bristow, where* the alleged information had l»een filed by Mrs. McCullom against her husband. The attorney at Bristow said that McCullom was arrested recently on information furnished by Mrs. McCullom that her huslwind was guilty of incest with swine, but following several days in jaii McCummon was released liecause of the flimsy evidence produced by McCullom’s spouse. Evans did., however, discover a court record showing that the accuser of Hoi lins had. filed, a suit for divorc*. A subpoena was issued for the Creek County official by the defense so that it could he proven Wednesday morning that in incestous charge waa made against BUI McCullom by his wife. Evidence Important, Such evidence will however only go to determine the credibility of the prosecuting witness, and of course will have great weight, with the jury in determining the reliability of the girl. Although promised the jury that he would produce witnesses to prove that Alta McCullom was a person who got drunk, attended Negrcr dances and danced with Negroes. the prosecuting witness declared while on the stand and un der cross examination that she did not drink or associate with Ne-

groes.

."I don’t drink no strong drinks and I don’t run with no niggers”,

she dwdfircd.

The witness testified that Hollins caught her by her belt and dragged her through the fence ai the time of the alleged attack. “He said If I did not do what ; he wanted he, would kill me”, she j

declared.

Slips on Details She related, to the jury her form

| that Jess refused to do this suggestjng that they -go down in the .woods where they did spend most of the morning. The jury was dismissed while the court heard arguments regarding fne admission of the alleged confession of Hollins, Judge Wilcox was called and questioned regarding this confession and the evidence he knew of violence and ipob spirit existing on the night of Hollins conviction in the farcial trial in the county jail. Judge 'Smith admitted the confession in evidence although Brown at the conclusion of a heated argument cited the opinion of the Criminal Court of Appeals, which in reversing the Hollins case said that a purported confession of an ignorant. illiterate, defenseless Negro, secured at a time wheu two mobs were forming, could not stand and that under such conditions Hollins could not waive any of his i ights.

NOBODY HAS A PRESCRIPTION FOR SUCCESS, STATES DR. R. R. WRIGHT. WILBERFORCE PREXY

er story about three separate ravishmejit's. Bhe said previously that Hollins drew the gun on her at tic* fence, but in, Tuesday’s testimony she told the jury that the gun was drawn up in fhe, pasture. Brown sought vainly to have the witness explaip how: the gun could breach Itself while she was .struggling with Hqlllns, and how she had the presence of mind to know the actual number of shells that dropped out of the gun. He referred the jury to the ease—made in the last trial, where on page 287 Alta declared that the gun’ was lying on the ground. The witness slightly changed her testimony regarding previous acquaintance with Hollins. In the first trial she alleged that she had never seen him before the morning of the alleged ravishment, but Tuesday she said she might have known him because he told her up In the woods that he had met her in the road on a previous occasion. “I thought. I did not know him hut he said T did” she told the jury. Declares Girl Willing Brown in his opening statement declared to the jury that, when the pair me‘t on the morning whenf Mrs. BicCnllom declares she was raped, Alta sought to have Jess go with her to a vacant house and

WILBERFORCE, O.—(Special) —When asked for a formula for success. Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., president of Wilberforce, gave the following answer, "So far as I can say, nobody has any prescription fer success. There are so many various definitions and ideas of success, and- so many things that enter in what we call success, that w© can only guess, but among them I would say there are three essentials, and they are intelligence, hard work and willingness to

serve.”

One of the outstanding examples of what these three essentials will do, is Mr. Wright himself, who has risen from a newsboy in a small Georgia town to become one of the cutstanding leaders in his race. In his climb to eminence and success he has been newsboy, dishwasher, janitor, day laborer, minister in small charges, social worker. ! school teacher, editor, business ‘ manager of the A. M» E. Book Concern, realtor, banker, and is now president of Wilberforce university, the Negro’s oldest and one of their largest and most outstanding universities. In tolling of bis early struggles. Dr. Wright said: “When I was born mv father was making $25 a month in Cuthbert, Ga. He had nine thildren and never had an average of $100 a month during the first 10 years

of my life.

“When I -was 20, I left home to struggle for myself, making my way chiefIv by my cwn efforts with a little assistance from iny father and a younger sister through the University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, and two universities in Europe. I have been dishwasher, waiter, janitor and day laborer. I have worked on the farm, in the factory, sold papers, books, had an agency for a* laundry and worked at numerous oth-

er jobs.

“I came out o' school and served a small mission when the pastor before got only $54 for the year, I served another where there were less than 50 members and another with less than 40 members. Many of the pleasures and frivolities of life which many of my associates enjoyed, I was not able to enjoy. I burned the midnight oil. I look at students now in college and at the money which they have for pocket change. My father was not able to give me what many of the par--ents give the students her-* in Wilberfo"ee. I have had to hustle, work, fight and pray for thp little hit of success I have had, and few people know the sorrows, disappointments and Heartaches 6T a

young minister as I do.”

Dr. Wright was the oldest of nine children, hnd though his father is one of the most successful men of his race today, before that success came Dr. Wright w: s out and gone. In fact in a large part of the success which the elder Wright has had, especially in the banking world. Dr. Wright has stood by his side as his chief advjsor. Dr. Wright is now vice fresident of the Citizen? # and Southern Bank and Trust Com-

pany, Philadelphia.

AH of his life, he has been a hard worker and an earnest student. His willir&nfcss to work at however menial or humble the task was what first brought him to the attention of the leaders in his church and thus paved the way for his steady rise in that clurch. j

Wlien he was a young man and had gone to* work as a clerk in the editorial office of the Christian Recorder, one evening one of the women clerks was trying to get some of the men to carry some bundles of papers and slock to the store room. It was near closing time and the employes were hurrying out to go home. To each of the women’s requests to the various male employes that they carry the stock to the store room, the was met with the answer, “Get the janitor, that Is not my jobV’ But the janitor was gone. About that time the then assistant editor, Richard R. Wright, Jr., came along, but the lady having received so many refusals at her request, was embarrassed to ask Dr. Wright to perform the task for fear of insulting him, and turned to one of her companions and said: "I wish 1 were a man.( or at least strong enough to cany it down then I wouldYi be begging some one to do it for me.” Hearing this remark. Dr. Wright asked what, it was she wished done so badly as that, and when mid, said, “Why, I Will ac that for you,2 and CiiTied it

down.

As it so happened, one of Lie bishops was in an adjoiamg room and overheard the conversation. Sometime later when ths'-e was an opening in the editorship of the Christian Recorder and several aspirants came fo ward, this bishop happened to ae on the board and remembered the young man who was not too proud and in too big a hurry to perform a menial task, and to’.d the story which influenced the appointment of that joung man. His willingness to serve along with hard study and close aipliCiO t»:n to his job brought that young man steadily forward fr m* assistant editor to editor, to editor and business manager, to the promoter and presidency cm various successful businesses wh/h have survived the depression atfn are sti : l solvent and doing business, of one of which ho is still president, and to the presidency of Wilberforce university with the success of which the country is already familiar. Willingness io serve, intelligence and hard work are the three main rungs in any ladder to success, and are almost indispensable to each other. One may be intelligent and industrious, but unwilling to serve what he considers menial tasks or positions, hence when opportunities come, those higher up refuse to call him, for oftimes the greatest opportunity lies in some of the most significant job. On the oilier hand, many peopleware industri ous and willing to serve, but they •re not trained, and thus when they are called are unable to fill the position which op^rtunity would like to give them and would give them if they were trained: or if they are given the opportunity they fail because of this lack Wright has said, if we would of training. And so as Dr. grasp the opportunities which are ours and make a success of them, there are three essentials we must observe': Intelligence, Hard Work and Willingness to Serve.
