His Excellency,
Governor, State of Alabama,
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Dear Sir,

I have been instructed by the members
of the Newcastle branch of the Federated Ironworkers'
Association of Australia to most emphatically protest
against the verdict of the death sentence imposed on the
Scottsboro boys, and demand their immediate release, owing
to the hideous and frame-up evidence of the two women,
Bates and Carter.
Faithfully Yours,
E. Charlesworth
Secretary.
