6 Whites, Negros Slain In Race Riot

6 WHITES. NEGROES SLAIN IN RACE RIOT Four Colored Residents With Prices on Heads, Still at Large. Emelle, Ala., July 3-(AP)–Rifiles and pistole were sheathed Monday as this strife-torn village completed the burial of its dead-two white men and four Negroes-slain in dis- orders arising from an Independ- ence Day debt dispute. Four other Negroes, each with a prize of $300 on his head, still were at large, but virtually all of several hundred white possemen had given up a three day manhunt, instituted after a Negro family engaged in a gun fight with a white family over the payment for an automobile bat- tery. Official rewards which have been posted for the four Negro rugitives, Governor Bibb Graves said at Mont- gomery, “are not merely for Ne- groes who killed white men” but would be paid “for the arrest and conviction of anybody, white or black, responsible at Emelle.” An unidentified Negro man and Viola Dial, a Negro woman, were the last two killed. They were snot Sunday. Previously Grover Boyd and Char- lie Marrs, both white men, were kill- ed and in turn a Negro was lynched and another fatally shot. Both of the Negroes were kinsmen of Tom Robertson, who with three sons, fied and has not been apprehended. The unidentificd Negro killed yesterday, officers said, replied with bullets and wounded Clarence Bush, a white man, upon being ordered to submit to a search. The Negro woman was slain when her husband failed to halt his automobile at the command of possemen. 6 WHITES. NEGROES SLAIN IN RACE RIOT Four Colored Residents With Prices on Heads, Still at Large.
