An all white Lowndes County jury acquitted Thomas Coleman of first degree manslaughter in the shotgun slaying of Joanathan Daniels a 26 year old Episcopal seminarian from Keene New Hampshire and the wounding of Father Richard Morrisree a Chicago priest.

Milne Moves to Halt Vermont Reapportionment
Barre City Attorney Donald G. Milne files a motion in U.S. District Court seeking a stay of the October 19 primary and an injunction against election conduct, arguing a federal 'fright to intervene' ruling affects the Vermont reapportionment case. He acts for the 1965 Legislature and for former Speaker Billings and Lt. Gov. Daley, who deny consent to use their names. Vermont holds primaries October 19 and general elections November 23.

Mt Anthony Union School District leans toward continuing use of existing facilities for the 1966-67 year as a new union high school is unlikely to be ready by September 1966. Alternatives include occupancy of a partially completed building, running Bennington High School for 7-12, or leasing current junior high and high school spaces under status quo.

Prelates Adopt Revised Declaration on Jews in Vatican
Vatican bishops received a revised version of the declaration on the Jews. The new wording removes the deicide charge against all Jews but condemns anti Semitism and affirms the church's respect for the Jewish people. The text replaces the old paragraph with language distinguishing present Jews from those who lived in Christ’s time. The church pledges to oppose hatred and persecution of Jews and to honor their common patrimony with Catholics.
