Conviction of
Howard Student

The United States Supreme
Court was asked this week to
review the arrest and conviction
of a Howard University Law stu
dent for refusing to leave an in
terstate bus terminal restaurant
when he was denied service and
ordered out by the management.
The student, Bruce Boynton,
was arrested in December 1858,
at the Trailways Bus terminal in
Richmond, Va. while en- route to
his home in Selma, Ala. He board
ed the railways bus in Washing
ton d. G.
When the bus made its regular
45-minute stop at the Richmond
terminal, Boynton went into the
waiting room along with other
passengers. Upon entering he
found the small restaurant serv-
ing Negro passengers was crowd
ed and then went into another
one at the end of the waiting
room which was practically empty.
A white waitress informed him
that they did not serve Negroes
and advised him to go to the
colored restaurant. When Boyn-
ton explained that the colored res
taurant was crowded and that he

This state was visited by one
of the worst electrical storms
of the season Thursday night
about midnight. A bolt of light
ming struck a barn on the farm
of Frank Stevens near Blackis-
toms Crossroads and set it afire,
burning a calf and setting fire
to several tons of hay in the
loft. Smyrna, Clayton, and Mill
ington fire companies were sum-
moned, but to no avail. The
barn was nearly burned down
when firemen arrived, entailing
a loss between $500 and $1,000.
A bolt of lightning also struck
a straw stack on Woodlawn
Farm, south of Smyrna.
Edgar Frazier, former Kent
County sheriff, suffered fractur-
ed ribs and bruises when a
truck crashed into his car park
ed on the highway near Garri-

stopped off the highway to lend
assistance to a motorist when
the truck crashed into the rear
of his car. He narrowly escaped
being crushed to death. He was
treated at Kent General Hospit-
al and is recovering at his home
