PROTEST AGAINST LYNCHING OF POPULAR REVEREND IN GEORGIA.
The body of Reverend Benson Floyd, the man who was implicated in the Chandler murder, was found hanging from a branch of a persimmon tree in a small hamlet in Georgia. Despite many protests of his innocence by his employer and white members of the the community, a mob convicted him by a roadside here and strung him up to hang after mutilating the body.
Floyd had been implicated by another Negro, Otto Luther, who was hanged in the Chandler murder and in a final confession said it was the preacher who had paid him to murder Chandler. Many believe this story to be a falsehood as Luther resent Rev. Floyd's chastising him for his sinful ways. In response to the lynchings, many of the 30,000 colored residents of Chicago are arranging a series of protests to be held in churches. Community leaders have called for calm and civilized discussions.
