Violence surges as Evers killing sparks new protests
In Jackson Mississippi a fresh wave of demonstrations erupted after civil rights leader Medgar Evers was shot.

A Florida man questioned in the case was released without charges. Evidence includes a .30 caliber rifle found near Evers home and a latent print on the weapon. The mass meeting at Pearl Street Methodist Church, led by Rev. Ralph E King, preceded renewed unrest.
