Courts of Georgia Attacked by Cooper

Washington January 11 The supreme court today took under advisement the appeal of Robert Hitchens a negro under sentence of death for the murder of Henry Brantley from the action of the federal court of the southern district of Georgia in refusing to release Kitchens on habeas corpus proceedings John Randolph Cooper Kitchens attorney told the court that because of fear of mob violence at his trap he was unable to raise the point that a fair trial was being denied Cooper argued that negroes are denied fair trials in Georgia Alabama and Florida where white and black are on opposite sides of cases and a negro cannot get a fair trial He contended the fourteenth amendment which was meant to uplift the negro race has been used for railroad benefit He said fear of mob violence prevented him from presenting the point earlier The attorney general rejected the charge that negroes cannot get a fair trial citing a Washington county case where a black man accused of assault with intent to rape was exonerated He noted the Cohen v Rawhaga case as precedent and the court reserved decision on issuing a writ of habeas corpus.
