<u>TO THE JUDGES IN</u>
<u>THE SCOTTSBORO - WORLDCASE</u>
(High Court of Justice, Scottsboro, U.S.A.)
The analysis of mind and matter teaches us: <u>firstly</u>, that certain-
ty is but a form of probability, <u>secondly</u>, that crime, vengeance and
the idea of requital root in the same subconscient impulses, and
<u>thirdly</u>, that death means an event in other lifes.
It is to be concluded, that a sentence of death by way of requi-
tal: <u>may be</u> a judicial error,
<u>most probably</u> is a stimulus to criminality,
but <u>in any case</u> is a philosophical absurdity.

Cabo Rojo, P.R.,

Hon. Gobernador de Alabama,
Alabama,
Senor:
De acuerdo con la decision de las cortes seran ajus-
ticiados un grupo de jovenes negres dentro de podos dias.
Senor, en estos momentos en que el mundo entero se agita
y se precipita al borde de una revolucion social se impo-
ne un sereno y ecuanime proceder. No creemos que sea la
forma mas correcta y adecuada de llevar a la silla elec-
trica a esos jovenes negros para que de esa manera se
les castigue por un delito cometido. Creemos firmemente
que un delito no se lava ni se esruma su aureola de mal-
dad con otro delito como lo es el de matar a quien mata.
Mataron esos jovenes negros a alguien? No lo sabemos.
Pero cualquiera que haya sido su delito, no debe aparejar-
le la pena capital habida cuenta de que es un delito mayor
el que se comete cuando sun piedad y misericordia alguna
son llevados a la silla electrica.
En nombre de la santa libertad, en nombre de los
mas puros sentimientos de humanidad, en nombre toda esa
democracia de que se vanagloria el pueblo americano, tened
piedad y misericordia, senor, de esos jovenes negros. Or-
denad, senor, que se posponga la ejeccion de ellos para
que vuestra conciencia no os acuse de un mal peor que el
que esas pobres victimas hayan causado a la sociedad.
Nosotros protestamos energicamente contra ese acto
cruel de matar en nombre de la justicia. Eso no es humano,
senor. Eso es retroceder a la barbarie. Eso es aumentar
el caos social en que se desenvuelve este mundo. Oid nue-
tra suplica no por el bien que se pueda hacer a esos des-
graciados, sino por la tranquilidad vuestra.
Por el grupo comunista,
Miguel Ortega

Honorable Governor of Alabama
Alabama
Sir:
In accordance with the decision of the courts, a group of young, Negro men will be brought to justice in a few days. Sir, in these times when the entire world is agitated and on the verge of a social revolution, this course of action is being taken coldly and without feeling. We do not believe it is correct to send these young men to the electric chair for the crime committed. We do not believe their alleged crime to be as serious as the taking of another human life.
In the name of holy liberty, in the name of the purest human sentiments, in the name of the democracy in which the American people take pride, take pity upon and have mercy with these young Negroes, sir. Postpone their execution so that your conscience does not accuse you, sir, of a crime worse than that which these poor victims may have caused society.
We vigorously protest this cruel act of execution in the name of justice. This action is not human, sir. It is a return to barbarism. It will increase the chaos into which the world is now descending. Hear our plea, not for the good it may do for these unfortunates, but rather for the sake of your own peace.

To the Committee for the Salvation of the Victims of Scottsboro
Berlin
No matter how the facts are considered, by people's rights or juristically, here are considered people's rights, not only for American people of concern but for all of civilized mankind, meaning a disaster for their cultures and beyond, tendencies which have deep roots among all the natives of black countries, leaving deep confusions.
May the white race watch out, especially the German people which according to their "national hymn" are an example to all people of the world and therefore one of the most responsible bearers of culture, should the seeds sprout.
Or should the disaster become a symbol of a European mission?
The often discussed "The Decline of Western Civilization" cannot explain any better than to free those poor, eight Negro boys and to educate them to decent, useful people, just as equal rights is the strongest guarantee for peace among people.
We therefore take this occasion to join this "protest" and hope its endeavors have important success.
With high regards
the Manager

The National Executive Committee of the Salvadoran branch of the Socorro Rojo Internacional protests in the strongest terms the savage, inhuman and bloody act that is being perpetrated upon the nine young Negro workers who have been accused of the attempted rape of two white women who were travelling by train to Scottsboro. These men were condemned to death, with the exception of the youngest, who received a life sentence.
According to the court, the sentence is to be carried out the 10th of this month. The Militant Salvadoran Proletariat, which counts itself among the ranks of the Socorro Rojo Internacional, in solidarity with the American Proletariat, demands the immediate release of the nine young Negroes.
