Page "Scottsboro Boys" Paragraph 135

The Solicitor H. G.

Bailey reminded the jury that the law presumed Patterson innocent, even if what Gilley and Price had described was " as sordid as ever a human tongue has uttered.

" Finally he defended the women, " Instead of painting their faces ... they were brave enough to go to Chattanooga and look for honest work.

" Bailey attacked the defense case.

" They say this is a frame-up!

They have been yelling frame-up ever since this case started!

Who framed them?

Did Ory Dobbins frame them?

Did brother Hill frame them?

We did a lot of awful things over there is Scottsboro, didn't we?

My, my, my.

And now they come over here and try to convince you that that sort of thing happened in your neighboring county.
