Rev King Is Jailed Again In Florida March
In Augustine Florida during a third straight night march through downtown streets Dr Martin Luther King Jr remained jailed after a sit in as about 200 demonstrators faced off with roughly equal police numbers. A highway patrol trooper was splashed with a sulfuric liquid and burned slightly while two white youths were charged with disorderly conduct and five with vagrancy and carrying concealed weapons. About 40 youths volunteered to join King at St Johns County jail and King said he would testify before a state grand jury if it seeks to foster dialogue rather than issue injunctions against demonstrators.
