Attorney r. Evelyn Byrd assisted in
the defense Of the indicted official
The outcome Of the case has caused
widespread dissatisfaction among the
colored people of the city and practi-
cally everywhere that colored people
gathered it was the subject Of adverse
comment.
AS strange as it may seem there
were some people, who believed that a
verdict of guilty would be rendered
in some Of the cases. There can hard
lly be any doubt, but what the prose
cutioh weakened. -. .,z..-......
