Dear Mr. Governor
If Ruby Bates - one of the two women in the Scottsboro
case - made this statement "Those policemen made me tell
a lie. Those Negros did not touch me. I know it was
wrong to let those negros be sentenced to die on account
of me". -- I am sure you will wish to release the nine
Scottsboro boys and give them a safe conduct to their homes.
At this distance it is hard to know the truth about this
case but we all look to you to do what is right.
Sincerely
Leopold Stokowski
Governor B. M. Miller
