Description

A telegram from the International Labor Defense signed by National Secretary William L. Patterson to Governor Miller. It presents "millions of white and negro workers outraged" by the events in Scottsboro and the "lies" spreading about an alleged prison mutiny carried out by defendants. It requests that Governor remove "Deputy Dement" who attacked the boys. This telegram was one of a group of correspondence that reflect high local and national tensions around the outcome of the 1933 trial in Decatur and that protest prison conditions for the defendants.
