Teen-Age BoysRape Case.Being Watched

TAMPA?Robert W. Sanders,field director for the NationalAssociation for the Advance-ment of Colored People, saidthis week the NAACP will bewatching closely the case of a13-year-old Negro boy who was

recently convicted of criminallyassaulting a 42-year-old whitewoman last Feb. 1, largely onthe testimony of his confessedteen-age companion in thecrime.

The boy, Ronald Antonio Cog-man, was found guilty by an

all-white Circuit Court panel onJuly 10, after only 45 minutesof deliberation. The all-maleJury, however, entered a recom-mendation of mercy. The com-panion, Mitchell Charles Cabre-ro, IS, pleaded guilty. Both areawaiting completion of the pre-sentence investigation beforelearning their punishment.

During the Cogman trial, Rob-ert L. Gilder, Tampa NAACPBranch president, issued astrong statement protesting theState Attorney's decision toprosecute the youths on a rapecharge. After pointing out thatin Florida rape is a felonywhich still carries the deathpenalty and that nearly all ofthose executed for the crimehave been Negroes, Gilder said:

"The NAACP does not con-done the committing of crimesby individuals, and althoughcrime is not racial in its char-acter, we cannot condone theefforts of those officials whowould go beyond the call ofduty to obtain confessions orto continue or extend legalizedefforts to lynch by the use ofour courts."

Ilobt. Mitcham, a white attor-ney hired to defend Cogman byhis family, is planning to appealthe verdict. As of yet, theNAACP has not been asked toofficially assist in the case.
