Government Bids to Speed Up Trial for Ole Miss Barnett
The Justice Department asked to drop two of four criminal contempt counts against former Mississippi Governor Ross R. Barnett and Governor Paul B. Johnson Jr. The motion, filed in New Orleans, aims to shorten trial length by avoiding evidence on counts three and four, which allege willful defiance of court orders barring interference with James Meredith’s enrollment at the University of Mississippi in 1962. The remaining counts proceed, including Barnett blocking Meredith from entering the trustees office and Johnson, under Barnett’s direction, keeping Meredith off campus on Sept. 26, 1962.
