DULUTH
CASE
Ten Day’s Extension Given.
Atty. W. T. Francis of St. Paul, Minn., has been selected as associate
council in the case of Max Mason, who was convicted of rape in Duluth, Minn. He
was the only Negro convicted in the complaint that caused the Duluth lynching.
Atty. R. C. McCullough of Duluth and Atty. F. L. Barnett of Chicago, counsel for
Masey have appealed to the State Supreme Court. Another extension of ten days
which expires Nov. 5, has been given for the filing of briefs. Atty. Francis is
making final arrangements for the appeal, by request of Atty’s. McCullough
and Barnett. Efforts are being made to solicit sufficient funds to defray
expenses.
