continued from page 1
"I saw a Milk of Magnesia bottle—not even clean—sell for fifty cents."
The courthouse square is much the same as it was in 1870, when it was built. Old men still sit in front of the courthouse whittling pieces of wood donated by the Chamber of Commerce. They are not making anything—just slowly whittling their piece of wood down to nothing with great piles of shavings lying at their feet.
However, the people of Scottsboro are trying desperately to forget a March day in 1931. On the 25th day of that month a freight train made its way from Chattanooga, Tenn., toward Scottsboro. As the train entered Alabama there was a fight in one of the freight cars, between approximately ten white boys and nine colored youths—all hitching a ride on the train.
Trial testimony later brought out that the white boys were companions of two girls, also traveling on the freight car, going to Huntsville, Ala., where one of the girls lived. One woman resident of Scottsdboro of today put it this way:
