Sidelights on Trial At Scottsboro Case Crowds Fill Court
Three more correspondents and a cameraman arrived for the Scottsboro trial. Jurors attended services at St. John’s Episcopal church with Rev. Peter M. Dennis preaching. The defense objected to noiseless typewriters and reporters returned to pencils as women spectators were scarce in court. Victoria Price testified for the prosecution amid growing crowds, while a toy train display near the jury box drew interest. Court staff kept order, and John the courthouse caretaker was praised for his unseen help. Press aides Martin and Stead left for Birmingham to resume work.
