posing as a racist. He testified
that Bright and others accused
of The Temple bombing were
at a meeting in May. At that
meeting, a member reported on
the death of 100 Jews in the
Hungarian uprising in 1957.
When they heard a description
of the Jewish deaths, partici-
pants in the meeting displayed
"glee," according to the witness.
The witness said Bright told
the others at the meeting that
"if local conditions ever develop
we will go to our homes and get
guns and shoot Jews down in
the streets, stores and shops
. . wherever we find them."
The witness testified further
that he attended a convention
of the National States Rights
Party, an anti-Semitic racist
g r o u p. He learned that this
underground organization is
established in 26 state s. He
testified that he was told its
membership included Senators
Strom Thurmond, South Caro-
lina Democrat; Herman Tal-
madge, Georgia De mo c r a t;
William Jenner, Indiana Repub-
lican, and John Stennis, Missis-
sippi Democrat.
The state offered as evidence
against Bright an FBI report on
Bright's lie detector test. An
FBI agent from Washington
headquarters testified that the
test showed Bright lied in
answering .questions concerning
the bombing of the Temple.
Judge Pye withheld a ruling on
admissibility of lie detector re-
sults as evidence. The jury was
excused while the matter was
debated by defense and prosecu-
tion attorneys.
Detective R. E. Little told
the jury he f o u n d a note in
Bright's home that Bright ad-
mitted w r i tin g. The note,
addressed to Rabbi Jacob Roths-
child of the Temple, contained
the phrase, "you are going to
experience the most terrifying
thing in your life." Little said
Bright had told him he wrote
the note during a period in
which questions had been put to
the rabbi about the Jewish
religion at a Baptist c h u r c h
meeting last May.
The state announced before
testimony against Bright began,
that it intended to prove that
Bright "not only participated
in the planning but that he was
there at the time" the syna-
gogue was dynamited.
That statement was made by
Torn Luck, assistant prosecutor.
Luck told the Superior Court
that state prosecutors expected
to show that the 31-year-old
Bright was a member of a group
who had violent anti-Semitic
feelings and had f or m e d an
organization to create unrest.
A Baptist minister testified
that Bright called Rabbi Roths-
child "a Christ-killing Jew." The
Rev. William Arnold Smith of
the Atlanta First Baptist
Church told the court that
Bright made the remark at his
church meeting last May. The

Anti-Jewish Terror Revealed at
Trial of Defendants in Bombings

meeting, attended by about
1,200, was one of a series held
to familiarize church members
with other religions of the
world. Rabbi Rothschild was
speaker of the evening. Rev.
Smith said Bright objected to
the rabbi's statement that the
Nazis were responsible for
6,000,000 Jewish deaths.
Rev. Smith said Bright's con-
duct created a disturbance.
T h e r e f ore he later went to
Bright and asked his purpose in
stirring up t r o u b l e in the
church. Rev. Smith quoted
Bright as replying: "I object to
you having a Christ-killing Jew
speak at the church."
Rabbi Rothschild, who ap-
peared in court as witness, testi-
fied that he spoke on Judaism
at the Baptist Church May 28.
He said Bright was in the audi-
ence and asked him to give the
number of Jews in the world.
He told Bright there were about
thirteen million. Bright con-
tended there were several mil-
lion more. Rothschild said he
commented that Hitler had
killed 6,000,000 Jews in Europe
and that Bright objected to that
statement.
Defense attorney James Ven-
able, in cross-examinating the
witness, said, "You don't feel
kindly toward Hitler for killing
Jews." Rabbi Rothschild replied
he did not think any civilized
person felt kindly about it.

Writes Letter
to Dead Son

TUCSON, Ariz., (Special)
— Wide attention was given
to a letter written by David
Greenberg to his 13-year-old
Boy Scout son, who perished
in a blizzard with two other
scouts while attempting to
climb 9,400-foot Mt. Baldy
here.
The letter, printed in a
Tucson newspaper, reads, in
part: "Some of your friends
and mine tell me that you
failed to reach your goal.
Not so, your great adven-
ture led you to the very top
itself. Not the mountain, it
is true, but to the very
heavens.
"You made the 7,000-foot
level and God reached down
and lifted you above the
highest mountain to place
you by his side. He took
your soul, but returned to
us your body. For this we
thank Him . .
