Answer:
Mr. Fine did not inform Daisy Bates about what occurred on September 4, 1957 as might be afraid of being lynched by the mob.
Step-by-step explanation:
Benjamin Fine was the journalist, who worked at The New York Times. On September 4, 1957, when Elizabeth Ecford was being lynched by mob of white students outside the Central High School, Arkansas.
Daisy Bates used to drop 10 African American students to the school everyday; but on September 4, 1957 there were some changes in the plan which was not informed to Elizabeth somehow.
After Elizabeth reached the school, she was lynched by the mob of some 300+ white students. It was Benjamin Fine and Grace Lorch, who supported her during the time. Benjamin Fine must not have informed Daisy Bates about the incident because he might be afraid of being lynched by the mob.
