Three students were arrested during the Roosevelt disruption but the school stayed open with about two thirds of the 950 pupils leaving early. Principal Fred Ricketts noted ongoing tension as black students reportedly rampaged overturning lockers and breaking windows. Linden McKinley had closed Tuesday after a second disturbance linked to attempts to raise a Black Nationalist flag.

Newsboy Moriarty Tortured by Kidnappers in Jersey City
Joseph Moriarty known as Newsboy, tied to a $2.6 million hoard from numbers racket, was beaten and burned with a blowtorch by three unidentified kidnappers near Jersey Shore after his custody. He escaped handcuffed, sought treatment, and vanished after leaving Jersey City Medical Center. Police cited uncertainty about motive or assailants, while court records show a long legal fight over the money. Moriarty, once a disciplined, solitary operator, rose from delivering papers to handling huge cash daily before his imprisonment years earlier.
