| Summary: | This article discusses the rioting in the Etowah County jail by eight of the "Scottsboro Boys," who had been convicted and given the death penalty: "When finally quieted and asked what was the matter, one of the negroes replied, 'We just don't like that death sentence.'" Following that story are two short articles related to the trial. The first, "Welcome Investigation," discusses the International Labor Defense's intention to review the recent court proceedings and to plan an appeal. The second, "A Bunch of Telegrams," mentions three messages Governor Benjamin M. Miller received from organizations protesting the Scottsboro trial.
