Bilbo Faces Senate Hearing On 1946 Mississippi Race
Senator Theo G Bilbo of Mississippi arrives in Jackson as a Senate investigating committee prepares to hear charges about his July 2 Democratic primary. He vows ample legal help with about 60 more lawyers ready if needed while witnesses are sought from some 400 contacted, with 20 volunteers so far. Ellender says subpoena possible if voluntary testimony fails as the probe tests intimidation and unlawful practices that affected Bilbo’s renomination. A petition from about 50 Mississippi residents, mostly Negro, urges action and a Negro president urges use of subpoena power.

New Trial Ordered for Mountaineer in Arkansas
The Arkansas Supreme Court ordered a new trial for Robert Byler, an Izard County mountaineer on death row for Sheriff J. L. Harber’s slaying last December. Justices split 4-3, citing disqualification concerns due to the trial judge’s marriage to Harber’s relative. Dissenting justices argued Byler’s guilt was clear and the judge ensured a fair trial. Byler and his wife Esther Lee fled to the mountains during a six week manhunt before surrendering in Independence County.
