Government Drops Charges Against Gen. Walker, Others
In Oxford Mississippi the federal government dropped charges against Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker and six others tied to the events surrounding James Meredith’s enrollment at the University of Mississippi. A federal judge dismissed the Walker case without prejudice, allowing reconsideration within five years. Several defendants in related rioting cases were also cleared or remained under ongoing investigations as the grand jury returned indictments against others. Meredith, recovering from algebra difficulties, plans to leave for Jackson after a final English test, while focusing on campus conditions and security.
