Change of venue asked in Scottsboro case in Alabama
In Decatur Morgan Circuit Court seven Scottsboro defendants filed a petition for change of venue claiming prejudice and mob sentiment would bias a fair trial. Judge Callahan arraigned the men and set the next Paterson trial for Nov 27, as attorneys avoided lengthy testimony by agreeing to submit prior records. The case, involving nine youths accused of attacking two mill workers after boarding a Chattanooga freight, has drawn world wide attention since 1931 trials in Jackson County led to death sentences later overturned by the Supreme Court for lack of adequate counsel.
