Probers Detail Payoff Testimony and Judge Schoolfield
Tennessee judge John Schoolfield faced questions over a 1953 acquittal of 12 of 13 Teamsters indicted in a payoff case. The Senate committee noted a 1952 indictment quashed, reversed by the Tennessee Supreme Court in 1953, and a directed verdict of innocence issued July 2 1953. The probe also highlighted a $18,500 committee check for legal fees, signed by Boling and endorsed by Smith. Schoolfield defended the quashal as too broad and said the state failed to prove which individuals committed acts of violence. He later sought the Democratic nomination for governor in 1954 with a presegregation stance.
