Court Refuses to Lift Vagrancy Charge
Arkansas Supreme Court Justices George Rose Smith Centey Byrd and Lyle Brown refused to free four North Carolina men held at Pulaski County Penal Farm on vagrancy charges. Ted Lamb, their attorney, said he would pursue federal court to challenge the vagrancy statute as unconstitutional for vagueness about visible means of support and a regular home. If released, the men could go to California and avoid serving the remainder of their sentence.
