he was convinced that the NAAC

Judge Crowley, in announcing
that Mr., Leighton would not be
prosecuted, stated that the ruling
of the bench was final.
Indictment Caused Indignation
Expressions of indignation came
from all parts of the country az

Dropping of the charges q

enforce residential segregation By
