ADRESS
To the Governor of the State of Alabama,
His Excellency ,
Sir:
There is awaiting execution of eight or nine Negro boy's in
Scottsboro, Alabama and from what I can glean through the papers
of the Southland, there is somewhat a doubt in the mind of the
people as to their actual guilt. However, it would be a presump-
tion on my part to attempt in any way whatever to criticise the
finding of the excellent jury who heard the case.
Your Honor, I am writing this letter unsolicited because I
believe there is mercy in the heart of the great Governor of the
State of Alabama. Born a slave myself and at one time was the
property of the famous General Abrahan Buford of Kentucky. Hence
I have had some experience in my seventy-five years in dealing
with my people. It is true if we are not all angels, it is equal-
ly true that we are not all devils and I am quite sure that your
Excellency will agree with my in this statement. The weeping and
wailing of their mother's and of many of our struggling group have
forced me to write this letter begging you to use your preogative
and stay the execution until further investigation can be made.
Believing as I do, your Honor, should you do so it would not
only permit you to be a blessing to humanity, but it would certainly
relieve the conscience's of those who are in power and would certainly
be a great favor to we old ex-slaves who have always tried to work
in conjunction with the white people for the betterment of out
people.
My dear Governor, if there be the slightest chance for mercy
in this case do show it at this point and thereby wipe the tears
away from our old weeping eyes and save a blot from the great name
of Alabama, the home of the greatest industrial center in the world
for my people.
Again I beg you to stay this execution.
Your most humble servant
C.H. Duvall

Subject: Protest of treatment of the nine Negro workers
To the Governor of the State of Alabama, USA
In person
This executive body of the Organizaciones de Obreros y Campesinos of the State of Nuevo León joins the protests by the world organizations of workers against the legal lynching of the nine innocent young Negroes, which the capitalist system of this nation is attempting to undertake by means of a legal farce that condemns them to electrocution for allegedly raping two white women generally known as prostitutes. As we raise our voices in protest, we cannot help but recall that this is a nation that calls itself “civilized” and venerates the Statue of Liberty. We protest criminal acts such as these, frequently perpetrated by the government of this country in the service of capitalism.
We have come to see that frequently workers are given long prison sentences or are condemned to die in the electric chair through misuse of the legal system. The actual purpose of these actions is to silence the discontent the workers show with the justice system as well as the social system, seeing that currently thousands of workers die of hunger in the principle cities of this country while the rich live in opulence right in front of those who generate their wealth. For this reason, in the face of attempts to carry out the electrocution of the nine Negro workers of Scottsboro, Alabama, USA, not only the workers of the United States but also those of the countries to the South will cry out in their defense. We hope that before entering into a conflict that could have fatal consequences, the Negro workers mentioned above will be set free.
We hope this letter will be answered.
Sincerely

Vi anser at i og med at dere uskyldighet er bevist, må det også være en
selvfölge at de blir gjengitt sin frihet.
Vi ser i opretholdelsen av dödsdommen kun et utslag av rasehat og en an-
ledning til å ramme anderledes tenkende mennesker, en fremgangsmåte som lite
stemmer overens med rett og rettferdighet.
Vi forlanger derfor at disse unge negergutter blir frigitt, og så fremt ikke
så skjer vil vi i den utstrekkning som vi har anledning til det, arbeide for
en boikott av amerikanske varer inntil rettferdigheteh har vunnet seier.

To the Governor of Alabama,
Through the American Embassy in Oslo.
The meeting of comrades in Oslo from the Oslo, Hærums, Nordstrand, Nesodden, Oppegård, and Sörumsands local Unions together with the Oslo Syndicalist Youth Organization wish to express their strongest protest against the upholding of the death penalty against the innocent Negro boys in Scottsboro, AL.
We take the view that since their innocence is proven, they must naturally be granted their freedom.
We see in the upholding of the death penalty only a manifestation of racial hatred and an effort to target differently thinking people, a process which scarcely is in accordance with law and justice.
We demand therefore that these young Negro boys be freed, and if this does not happen, we will to the extent possible work for a boycott of American goods until justice has prevailed.
On behalf of the meeting of comrades,
Carl O. Tangen

TWO FIFTY-FOUR WESTMINSTER ROAD
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK
To His Excellency, The Govenor of Alabama
Govenor B. M. Miller
Dear Govenor Miller,
I am a young
citizen of these United States and
have never had very much say
in governmental matters except
the right to vote. In reading the
newspaper for the past week
I have been very interested
in this "Scotsboro" case. Living
up here in Rochester, New York
one doesn't get much of a chance
to read New York newspapers,
but fortunately I have been able
to receive and read the New
York Herald Tribune.
2
I am a white girl. I have
always had the best opportunities
for travel and study as a young
girl. My home life has been
a happy one. I have always tried
my best to do for others. I am
connected with two volunteer
social-aide societies that do much
for the sick and needy. I have
came in contact with many
negros, some of high standard
and some of low, but they are
an unfortunate race. They are to
be helped and pitied - not hindered
and begrudged.
Don't you feel deep down
in your heart, govenor Miller,
that these young negro boys are
not being given a fair say or
even a trial - can't you yourself
feel that it's the race not so
much the supposed crime?
3
My thoughts and feeling on
this matter are only the emotions
of one person out of thousands,
Miss Bates and Mrs. Price are
of the lowest type woman - they
aren't to be respected - a "low"
woman is far worse than
a "low" man - These women
are the ones to suffer not
the young negros who are
victims of lies and bigoting
Don't you feel, govenor Miller,
that justice isn't being implied?
I'd give my right arm if I
could keep those fellows in
any possible way, and I
hope that you will be able to
do something.
Sincerely,
Carol R. Slowau

Dear Sir,
Common decency demands that you put a stop to the
persecution of the Scottsboro Boys. In particular, the fail-
ure to provide adequate medical attendance for Olen Montgom-
ery, whose eyesight is in jeopardy, would be difficult to
justify. From my understanding of the case it would seem that
justice requires a change of venue to Birmingham.
Yours truly,

Your Excellency :
As a law abiding
citizen, I am appealing to you to
let the law take its' course in
the case of the Scottsboro negros.
The average woman is no
match for a male bent on attack,
and if she cannot depend on the
law for justice, then what is
to become of her?
On every side we hear much
talk about stamping out crime;
but crime never will be stamped
out until criminals are made to
pay the penalty for crime.
Just one year ago, the blood
of every white person worthy of
the name, was at boiling point,
because a white woman in
Hawaii could not get justice
for an attack made on her by
five half-cast Asiatics; therefore,
in my humble opinion, it is
inconsistent, to say the least, to
tolerate a similar offense from
negros.
The writer of this letter is a
New-York-born white woman
without claim to Southern blood,
and who has never been fortunate
enough to have visited the
South.
So it stands to reason that
most of my friends and acquaint-
ances are New Yorkers. And I
have not heard one person
speak a word that clashes
with my opinion on this matter.
Thanking you for your kind
attention, I beg to remain
Yours Very Sincerely
Charlotte Fox.
April 11, 1933.

His Excellency the Governor
State of Alabama,
Montgomery, Alabama
Dear Sir:
Recently we were invited by friends sojourning in
your capital city to visit them in their home during our
vacation.
However we have canceled this visit since reading
that your roads were built by the sweat and blood of the chain
gang for which the romantic South is so notorious.
We cannot bring ourselves to spend money in a state
governed by barbarians, despite their self-assumed titles of
"Southern gentlemen", and have so advised our hospitable friends.
If you read Harper's Monthly, you would profit, and
perhaps even blush at the accusation that no white man could
let go unchallenged were it not the truth.
Until you change your moral code in this respect, we
shall continue to spend our vacations among people at least
partially human, and shall also advise our friends to spend their
vacations in the North.
Very Truly Yours,
Chas. E. Lobreck

Monsieur le Gouverneur,
C'est avec une indegnation profinde que nous apprenons
les nouvelles persécutions dont sont victimes dans leur prison,
les malheureux nègres de Scottoboro, de la part de l'Administra-
tion pénitentiaire de votre pays.
Cette semaine, nous avons appris la mort de l'un d'entr'eux,
PATTERSON, survenue, d'après la version officielle, au cours de
la répression d'une mutinerie.
Or, nous avons de sérieuses raisons de douter de l'exacti-
tude de cette explication qui laisse entière la responsabilité
de la justice Américaine dont l'attitude partiale au cours du
dernier procès a empêché la libération de nos frères de couleur,
malgré les preuves évidentes de leur innocence.
Nous élevons une protestation véhémente contre ces moeurs
barbares, indignes d'un grand pays qui se prétend à l'avant-garde
de la civilisation.
S'il veut lutter efficacement contre la loi du Lynch et la
haine de race, votre Gouvernement se doit de donner un exemple
en ordonnant la libération immédiate. de ces innocents, sous peine
de s'attirer la juste réprobation de la conscience universelle.

Mr. Governor
It's with profound indignation that we learn about the new persecutions of which the unfortunate niggers are victims in their prison at the hands of the penitentiary administration in your country.
This week we learned of the death of one of them, PATTERSON, which happened, according to the official version, during the repression of a mutiny.
However, we have serious reasons to doubt the accuracy of this explanation which leaves intact the responsibility of the American justice system whose biased attitude during the last trial prevented the liberation of our brothers of color despite the obvious evidence of their innocence.
We raise a vehement protest against these barbarous customs unworthy of a great country that claims to be in the vanguard of civilization.
If it wants to fight efficiently against the Lynch law and race-based hate, your Government must set an example by ordering the immediate liberation of these innocents, under penalty of attracting the just condemnation of global consciousness.

The Comité Mooney-Scottsboro, Section de Lille, France, responds to rumors of Haywood Patterson's death after a prison revolt. The letter questions this version of events, expresses strong doubt about Patterson's conviction based on the evidence, and demands that the U.S. government—because of its strong international profile— take a stand against lynch law and racial hatred by releasing the Scottsboro Boys. The Mooney-Scottsboro Committee was a United Front group that called for the freedom of both American political activist and labor leader Tom Mooney and the Scottsboro Boys.

2245 Bellfield Road.
Cleveland Heights, Ohio,
January 30, 1932.
Scottsboro
Governor B.M.Miller,
State House,
Montgomery, Alabama.
Dear Sir:
In recent months I have collected a voluminous
file of material on the Scottsboro affair. My file
includes letters from several unusually well-informed
students of the case. These individuals embrace both
radicals and conservatives.
Nowhere can I discover a line which would lead
to the belief that any of the defendants are guilty of
any worse crime than being poor, friendless and black.
In my own mind I am convinced that the boys are
innocent. I am convinced that if they are executed, they
will die as martyrs to a benighted, stupid and unreasoning
prejudice, and nothing else.
The Scottsboro affair is now an international
incident. It is destined to be a subject for future
historians and will serve as an example of the status
of civilization in the United States of America in the
year 1932.
An American journalist of my acquaintance,
residing in Paris, said recently:
"I hesitate to think what will happen to
many Americans if the boys are executed, Europe is
thoroughly aroused."
Alabama cannot afford to be held up before
the world as a commonwealth which denies the element of
justice to the humblest of its citizens and prefers whole
sale murder to an honest searching after facts. It can-
not afford to murder Negroes in cold blood, merely be-
cause they are black. The civilized world will not be
willing to sit by and applause while a legal
lynching takes place in Kilby prison.
It may ultimately devolve upon you, as chief
executive of the state, to make a thorough investiga-
tion, unhampered by antiquated legal red tape. I
trust you will not be found wanting. Otherwise your
state will take its place as spiritually akin to Turkey
under the sultans and Russia under the czarz.
Respectfully,
David H. Pierce
President, Cleveland Branch.

For the Governor
of Alabama
Sir:
I have sent this letter in this manner so as to make sure you will
receive it.
First of all there is no justice in you and the millions like you
in this State of Alabama and other parts of the despised empire of
the South except what colored and w ite Americans will take.
There is to be a first class legal lynching of nine innocent colored
boys who have been accused of having committed rape upon two white
girls. Of course the facts in the case do not justify the accusa
tion, but the "rape" racket is always used by you and the rest of
your "Ku Kluxers" in a supreme effort to divide the white ad colored
people, to prevent them from uniting ad living side by side in peace
and harmony, and to keep the colored American in his place. For
after all there is no difference in men and women because of color.
A man is a man regardless of color, and all men should maintain
their manhood rights regardless of color.
The White people of the State of Alabama are for the most part the
inferior the most ignorant, the most coward like whites to be found
in any part of the South. It takes 10,000 whites to lynch one
colored man. You and your people are a disgrace and a nusiance, and
the time will come when the when the colored people whom you persecute, will
and ought to drive you out. You ought to have been driven out
of Alabama long ago, but the colored people have lacked the proper
leadership to accomplish that end.
They, the colored people have toiled and made possible the ease
with which you live, they, the colored people have made possible
by work in the fields and on the chain gang the luxury you bathe
yourselves in, and the time for an end of all this condition
of feudalism has come. This State and all the land belongs to the
colored people, and the colored people being in the majority in
the South should be the ruler of the South.
You have the facts in the case of which is the following synopsis:
The one girl, Victoria Prince is the prostitute
with a jail record, and the other girl Rubye
Bates, is also a prostitute. The one girl offers
unsupported testimony, the other girl cannot i
dentify any othe boys accused, and the white
men who rose on the train do not accuse the nine
colored boys as thise who threw them off.
The facts you are well aware of, but you as the governor, who should
be a just governor, will be silent while the legal lynching pro
ceeds, and in your silence you approve of more lynchings in an
effort to maintain such nonsense as the "Integrity" of white women
and "White supremacy" but I am tell you right now and here that
Page
your time is coming. THANKS TO THE COMMUNIST PARTY, The INTERNATIONAL
LABOR DEFENSE, the UNDERTAKER and the CEMETERY.
If those nine colored boys are lynched, and of course, the whole
world, understanding that "Legal trial" is only a mantle they,
the lynchers wear in court, if those boys are lynched their will
be millions the world over who will rise up and avenge this
act of threachery and murder and will sure avenge the murder of
these boys accordingly.
I am a member of the INternational Labor Defense, but if I live
for one hundred years rest assured I will do my bit in teaching
the colored people of the South to throw off the yoke of White
oppression.
As a governor you ought to be tarred and feathered.
Respectfully for the Good of
nine colored boys.
