Justices Rule Hoodlums May Face Federal Prosecution
The Supreme Court split five to five on whether violent acts to deny Negroes access to public accommodations can be prosecuted under federal law. The majority, led by Justice Douglas, held that outside hoodlums using force against potential Black customers may face criminal penalties under a Civil Rights Act provision. The decision overturned a lower court dismissal concerning indictments for beatings at the Truck Stop in Braselton, Georgia.
