Federal Judge declines to intervene in St. Augustine cases
In Jacksonville a federal judge refused to take charge of the 28 civil rights demonstrators arrested in St. Augustine and rejected petitions to bar police use of dogs. Judge Bryan Simpson ruled county courts could handle the cases, while noting expectations that not all demonstrators will be acquitted. Mrs. Malcolm Peabody posted a $450 bond and planned to travel to New York and Boston after a jail delay.

St Augustine hearing cited racial bias in local justice
Dr. Robert Hayling testified that during three years of racial strife in St. Augustine no Negro sat on a jury and no Negro was acquitted of any course. He said attempts to communicate with white city officials failed while Simon and two lawyers faced detention in a St. Augustine jail Thursday morning. A church group planned a play titled The Christian Family for April 5 at 7 30 p m.
