White Men Face New Court Hearing In Lynch Attempt
Seven white men charged with seizing a Negro from jail in a thwarted lynching face a Superior Court hearing ordered by Gov. Gregg Cherry. Judge Paul Frizelle will sit as committing magistrate after a grand jury refused to indict Aug. 4. The men originally faced kidnapping and related charges. Tuesday’s hearing covers breaking and entering a jail with intent to injure a prisoner. If convicted they face 3 to 13 years. The incident began May 25 when Buddy Bush was snatched from his jail cell in Jackson North Carolina by masked men.
