- Description:
- "Threats of a wholesale lynching of nine young negroes charged with criminally attacking two white girls were calmed when the Alabama national guard was called out to guard the jail at Scottsboro. The girls, accompanied by a half-brother of one of them, were hoboing their way back from Chattanooga where they had been in search of work when the young negro hoboes attacked them in a box car. The prisoners, who face the death penalty under Alabama law, are shown here under guard."
