THE FLINT SPOKESMAN

PAGE FIV

Li Wife of Lynched Georgi oan:

LAGRANGE, Ga~(aANP)~

~ Mrs. Caroline. Gilbert was
- bound ~over to Tr4:p Superior

court last~ week following a
hearing ~before a magistrate on
charges: that she shielded and
harbored a criminal, the same
charges as placed against her
husband, Henry, who was

~ lynched: by-law enforcement of
ficers in the Hamilton (Harris

~County) jail last month.

~The state cHarged that the Gil
-~berts shielded Gus Davidson after, he shot to death Olin Sands, |
~sa White farmer: and mill oper
ator, when the latter went to a

*- Negro~church ~and attempted to

~beat the alleged slayer. because; @ cow or calf belonging to him
had. been: kiHed by an automo
~bile he. accused Davidson of

~driving. e
Gilbert, a well to do farmer,

~was arrested while denying the, charge of sheltering Davidson on
~his 110-acre farm. Gilbert was

progressive and it is believed
- there existed jealousy in the
community about his independence.

(pein Ironically, the state produced
gl avett ~Davidson, father of the

suspected fugitive, who testified

a ~his son had been harbored

~Under $1,000 Bond

on the Gilbert farm. It was immediately ~suspected that Troup
and ~Harris county ~ authorities
who were still holding members
of the Davidson family for ~safekeeping? and intimidation in the
continuing reign of terror, had
pressured the old man into the
testimony. He presented a pitiful
sight at the hearing, addressing
the court as ~Boss Man.~

The Troup county sheriff said
he was not apprised of Davidson~s alleged being on the Gilbert farm, although the élder
Davidson and his landlord, Luke.
Sturdivant, white, claimed the
sheriff's office was called.

The elder Davidson claimed he
visited the farm of the Gilberts
and talked with Gus, Henry and
his wife in the Gilbert~s kitchen;
that he asked Gus to give himself up to the police, but that
his son refused.

Hard-hitting Dan Duke, Klanbusting former assistant state attorney, has taken the case of
Mrs. Gilbert at the direction of
the: Georgia Citizens Defense

into the background of the jailhouse slaying, which has been
termed a lynching.

a contest.

ago, endorsed Collins, a practicing attorney in Alexandria,
Va., for Brown's job and members of Taylor's lodge, who refuse to be named, have said!
