THE LYNCHING OF DOC JACKSON
In 1924 Emmaline Pearson was murdered by Jesse J. Favre. Carl (Doc) Jackson was the suspect because he was the town bully.
He had a verifiable alabi or he could have been lynched then.
Two years later, Jesse J. Favre murdered two entomologists near the bank of Pearl River. He thought they were police that were looking for him for the Pearson murder.
When he went to the Picayune, Ms. police and told them that Harold Jackson did it, they believed everything he said, including the name he gave. Harold Jackson was Carl Jacksons brother.
The Grand Jury would have thrown out the case on this fact alone in addition to the fact that Doc Jackson was nowhere near the crime scene at the time the murders happened.
I must backtrack some now to show you the mentality of the person who led the lynch party.
In 1920 a Sons Of The Confederate Veterans organization was formed in Picayune, Ms. It was headed by Barney Whitfield. Under his leadership they all put on their white robes and their pointed hoods and horsewhipped Negroes. On Sundaysthey put ontheir white robes and pointed hoods and came in Cedar Grove church, put money in the offering plate and left.
All of this endeared him to the citizens of Picayune so	much	that
they elected him mayor in 1924.
When he heard that Doc Jackson had murdered two people, he got the Picayune police department and others of his Ku Klux Klan friends together and lynched Doc Jackson. He knew that no one would be stupid enough to accuse him of committing a crime. Anyone doing so would be lynched also.
His relative Henry Whitfield was governor of Ms. at the time.
Bilbo would have did nothing about the lynching, either.
Others of this type lynched Mack Charles Parker in 1959. None of them went to jail, either and in the next lynching no one will go to jail. Now they lynch them in the jail.
The coverup for this crime is still going on. The library removed all newspapers and films of newspapers from 1920	to	1930	when	they
found out that I was researching the lynching of	my	cousin.
Doc Jackson never killed anyone.
