Supreme Court Reverses Mayberry Verdict Opens New Trial Path
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the Lawrence county court verdict against Fred Mayberry on involuntary manslaughter charges, without prejudice to further prosecution for involuntary manslaughter. The decision frees Mayberry from murder and manslaughter charges but allows a possible retrial on involuntary manslaughter. The 1926 collision killed James Gibson’s nine year old daughter, leading to dual counts of murder and manslaughter. In 1928 a jury found guilty of involuntary manslaughter with mercy recommendation, a verdict later challenged by the judge for mislaid charges leading to renewed deliberation and sentencing.

Soft Coal Miners Will Leave Pits Thursday Night
Soft coal miners in central Pennsylvania districts walk out in protest over wage scale cuts and delayed wage talks. About 12 000 to 15 000 workers, members of United Mine Workers, halted last week’s work since April 1 and will resume only when a new agreement is reached with operators.
