Court Upholds S C Riot Statute In Charleston Protests
The 4th U S Circuit Court of Appeals upholds South Carolina riot statute used against Reverend Ralph David Abernathy and three aides after 250 protesters faced police action. Abernathy and aides were jailed on riot charges when they refused to stop a late night prayer session lacking a parade permit. Bond was set at 50 000 then lowered to 5 000. A Nepal report notes typhoid and smallpox deaths exceeding 500 in the western region per the New Herald.
