Tallahassee Bus Boycott Aired Racial Issue Veers Hoffa Case
Washington The bribery conspiracy trial of James R. Hoffa veered onto a side track as defense lawyer Edward Bennett Williams pressed racial questions before a largely Negro jury. Government star witness John Dye Cheasty testified he helped end a Tallahassee bus boycott, hiring Negro drivers and ending segregated seating, while Williams accused him of breaking a boycott. Cheasty detailed his role with Florida authorities, the NAACP probe, and his resignation from a tense legislative inquiry amid charges of expense padding.
