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. |
