Prominent Men Face Jury In Stolen Goods Case
In Savannah on June 25 a high profile trial opened in superior court. Defendants E. A. Leonard, Dennis M. Leonard, and Richard Brown, all white, allegedly received brass fittings stolen from John Rourke & Sons iron foundry. A jury pool formed, with ten unprejudiced jurors chosen by nightfall and many excused for cause. Local support for the Leonards runs strong, notably E. A. Leonard among Irish residents as captain of the Emmet Rifles. Charles Kimball, a Black man, was convicted last month for stealing the brass. Attorneys argued the indictment failed to specify the goods’ quality.
