A Lorain jury acquitted Horvath, a 46 year old restaurant owner, on a bias charge after an all day trial. Four witnesses on each side testified as Negro protesters picketed Horvath's Charcoal Pit restaurant at 3069 Pearl Ave since March. The Kolbs claimed doors were kept locked to deny entry and service to them and other Negroes. Horvath denied the accusations, testified he did not refuse anyone and that the restaurant was closed when a white couple tried to enter. Picketing resumed with plans to continue while Horvath warned of further legal action.
