borhood councilman, Grossman's
place demanding the release of the
prisoners, the calling off of the cops
from charities, the fight of commit

over the city enraged by the police
attack, decided to go back to the
same charity station ON Tuesday. The
nine who were arrested were charged
with creating disturbance and re-
leased late Monday night on personal

AT the hearing this morning, how
ever, a new bond was put on and the

Consequently the protest meeting
was held on the steps of the charity
