Tucker Averts State Lynching PERSUADES JUDGE TO MOVE PRISONERS TO ANOTHER CITY Urged to Stay Out Of Greenville, But Goes, Does A Big Job And Is Commended By White Citizens - Greenville, Ky., Aug. 29.--C. Ewbank Tucker, A. M. E., Zion presiding elder, Louisville attorney and Democratic nominee for the Legislature from the 58th District, Louisville, averted a lynching here Monday by intercessions with the city and county officials which resulted in the removing of the prisoners to Madisonville for safe keeping. Marvin Martin and Will [Fell?], who were about to be lynched, are alleged to have murdered James Wells, white, after refusing to pay for some whiskey they drank on Wells place. The killing occurred Sunday. The accused men were arrested early Monday morning. Immediately following the arrests the "lynch 'em" spirit was aroused in the angry white inhabitants of Greenville. By dusk the Rev. O. Carrington, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church here, drove from Greenville down to Central City to warn Presiding Elder Tucker against holding quarterly conference in Greenville Monday night as the feeling in the white race was high and that the Negroes were going to stay in close. He further advised that Rev. Tucker go back to Louisville. Instead Rev. Tucker drove to Greenville and had a conference with the Greenville jailer, who assured him that the jail was well fortified against a mob. This did not settle the matter with Tucker who, after the conference with the jailer conferred with Circuit Judge Willis, who with Mr. Tucker went back over to the jail, and from there they called County Judge O'Neil who hurried over a distance of 8 miles, and after listening to Tucker's plea agreed to remove the prisoners to another place. The judge deputized colored men as guards and took the prisoners in his car to Madisonville, for safe keeping. It is not known how much danger the killers were in but in the community around the jail the colored people changed their sleeping quarters for the night fearing violence. No Negro ministers, business men or anyone else approached the jailer in interest of the safety of the prisoners, but Rev. Tucker, and in every instance he was received courteously, and later was commended by citizens of both races for his act. Mr. Tucker said that the men were entitled to a fair trial and if found guilty deserved punishment, but they deserved a chance under the law to test their guilt or innocence, and that the law should protect their prisoners until execution of judgment.
