Garrison Throws Out Massie Case Special Judge Roy Garrison dismissed an illegal possession charge against Robert Massie colored, Monday on grounds that the evidence against him was obtained Illegally. Massie, a pool hall at 500 S. 7th was arrested on the charge last July 5.

His trial was postponed three times, twice at his request and the third time when City Judge Rex Cornelison decided to vacate the bench. Mr. Garrison, an attorney, was then selected by the Judge and neys for the city and the defense to try the case. According to testimony, presented at the trial, evidence against Massie was obtained early on the morning of June 29. At that time, City Alcoholic Beverage Administrator Jimmie Clements and three police officers invaded room above Massle's pool hall where a dance was in progress and saw a man behind a bar-like counter pour beer from two bottles into three paper cups.

Said He Saw Beer Mr. Clements said he then stepped behind the counter opened the door of an ice chest and saw approximately five cases of beer on ice, He took one can from the chest and handed it to Captain Marshall Jeffords to keep for evidence. The other police officers, Patrolmen Bill Lyles and Marion Shelbourne, said they also saw the beer in the refrigerated box. Dalton Greenfield, attorney for Massie, attacked manner in which the prosecution evidence was obtained as a violation of Massie's constitutional rights. "There is no question of fact involved here as to my client's guilt or innocence Mr.

Greenfield stated. "But the law is clear: Any evidence obtained without a valid search warrant is incompetent and inadmissable. And without the evidence, there is no case because you have nothing left." Politics Hinted The defense attorney hinted at political aspects of the case when he said he neither upheld nor approved some of the things his client had done, "espcially his appearance before the City Commission while trial of this case was pending in Police Court." "But I do uphold his constitutional rights," Mr. Greenfield continued. Both the police officers and Mr.

Clements said they knew of my, client's activities before they decided to raid and they could have obtained a legal search warrant to get this same evidence if they had wanted to proceed in that manner." As city alcoholic beverage administrator, Mr. Clements only had the right to enter places licensed to sell beer or whiskey to obtain evidence without a search warrant, Mr. Greenfield contended. Legal Right Claimed Mr. Clements, who also is the city's business license inspector, contended that he had the legal right to enter Massie's place in that capacity if not as alcoholic beverage administrator.

Judge Garrison conceded that "right," but said any evidence of unlawful activity obtained by an inspector acting in that capacity would be held incompetent of grounds that it was obtained through "unreasonable He cited a parallel case in which evidence obtained by an officer on other duty was ruled inadmissable by the Court of Appeals. Massie did not testify at the trial. The prosecution evidence, as summarized by Judge Garrison, was this: Mr. Clements, after seeing two white men who were obviously under the influence of intoxicants enter the closed stairway leading to the dance hall over Massie's pool hall, called Captain Jeffords at police headquarters and asked him to go with him to investigate their business there. Captain Jeffords brought trolman Lyles and Shelbourne with him and when the police car arrived they saw Massie standing in the doorway of the pool.

hall. Captain Jeffords told him the officers had come to investigate the presence of the two white men at the colored dance. It developed later that they were playing in the orchestra. Clements Entered First Clements entered, the stairway first, followed and Shelbourne. As Lyles started through the outside door, the doorman left his post and ran ahead of the officers shouting "police, police." As they entered the dance hall, Clements, Lyles and Shelbourne saw the man behind the counter pouring beer.

Judge Garrison noted there was no proof that Massie owned the beer other than the fact that he had control of the building. The judge complimented Clements and the police officers for "doing your duty as you saw it." But the evidence clearly showed, he said, that city representatives to the dance hall for the purpose of investigating the presence two white men and their seizure of contraband or procuring evidence against Massie under that circumstance amounted to illegal search and seizure. "Is the court saying that the city license inspector must ob-. tain a search warrant for every business place he inspects?" asked City Prosecutor Frank Davis. "No.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that any contraband or evidence by an Inspector through. performance of his inspection duties is inadmissible and the only way he can make it evidence in a case of 1 this kind valid 1 is to obtain a legal search warrant," Judge Garrison replied.

Still not aware that Kennedy was dead, the officers took the boys to headquarters and notifled state police they thought they had spotted a stolen car. nedy's before 3 Trooper Brownorient to Keno'clock Sunday morning to check with him about the car. No One Answered When no one answered his knocks the door, Trooper Brown went in. He switched on the lights, and found the murder victim. Princeton Police Chief Bill Millstead said the car apparently stalled because of Johnson's inexperience.

Hall, described as an intelligent youngster, is five feet five and weighs 118 pounds. Johnson, largest boy 'in the camp, stutters and seems to have difficulty remembering details. Young Hall lived with an aunt until two weeks ago. Then, she had him sent to Kentucky Children's Home as a ward of the state. Officials sent him to Gilbertsville a week ago.

Vague About Home Johnson was vague home life. He said he remembered someone coming to his home and taking him to a home of some kind when he was about nine years old. The boys told Page and Brown they had vague memories of their parents. Johnson, described by some fellow-campers as 48 was placed in a single cell used for grownups. Hall was put in A special cell for juveniles.

They are charged with murder, just the way grownups are charged. Juvenile authorities can place the boys on probation, have them recommitted to 8 camp similar to the one they were in or have them sent to a detention home. This mild course may lead authorities to prosecute the youngsters under adult laws. In that case, they could receive life in prison or death in the electric chair: Page and Brown said the boys apparently "have done little wrong before this, except to run away from home and get in neighborhood fights." At Gilbertsville, in a camp patterned along the lines of the old CCC, they are regarded as state wards and not law violators. Boys in the camp are unguarded and attend churches and schools of the community.

Lovett Jr. of who has conducted a investigation of the slaying. Lovett said he believes Johnson did the actual killing, as both boys related, but that the case will be thoroughly rechecked. The knife Hall took was found behind his foot locker. Lovett and other officers were baffled by the lack of a motive in the case.

Neither youngster could give 8 specific reason for the murder. Hall said Kennedy, called "Pop" by all the boys in camp, was kind and popular. Admitted Mild Dislike Johnson admitted only a mild dislike for him. He said he didn't like it when "Pop made me cut my hair off." He also said Kennedy promised him he could leave the camp, and "went back on his word." The only other adult in camp at the time of the slaying did not hear anything. Also a supervisor, he was identified as Harlan Doam.

The camp superintendent, Carl Monhallen of Warsaw was not at camp. He had gone home for the weekThe camp was established for the benefit of boys from broken homes, or boys dependent upon the state for a living and an education. The jury, with the Rev. Paul Dailey serving as foreman, decided, from the evidence, that Johnson killed Kennedy and was assisted by Hall. Other jurors were Raymond Vick, John Tom Miller, the Rev.

J. Frank Young, 1 W. C. Hutchens a and Lloyd Crouch. At the coroner's probe, Denver Galloway, another camp ward, said Johnson tried to get him to take part in the crime but he refused.

He said the slaying happened at 11:45 o'clock-that he peeped into the room and saw Kennedy lying dead. He did not report what he saw. He said he talked with Johnson Hall briefly after the murder and that Johnson was crying. Galloway, 14, also had been at the camp only a little over a week. He came in with Hall, Taylor Damron Funeral Held MARION, Sept.

That was the county judge's intention when interviewed on the subject several days ago. He was not available for comment on the subject Monday. The person appointed by Judge Stewart will serve until the first Monday in January, 1958. Meanwhile, a clerk to serve the full four-year term previously won by Mr. Pierce will be elected in November.

Two Possibilities Only independent candidates and one person nominated by the Democratic executive committee will be eligible to run for the ofrice in Thot Republican name a candidate because there was no race. Independent candidates Republican the Maya, primary must file at least 45 days before the November race. The Democratic executive committee, composed of Bob Hines, R. C. McGuire and Strother Melton, is expected to nominate A.

Houser for the clerk's post. Mr. Houser ran second to Mr. Pierce in the primary race. The person Judge Stewart appoints will serve until January 1958 because Mr.

Pierce's death occurred less than three months before the November general election. Had his death occurred prior the three months deadline, an election would have been held in November to fill both the unexpired portion of Mr. Pierce's term and the four-year term beginning in January. KSMA Raps 'Third-Party' Practice LOUISVILLE, Sept. 16 (P) -The Kentucky State, Medical House of Delegates was urged Monday night to help stop so-called "third party" or "Corporate Reports to practices" the of particularly to the United Mine Workers' Welfare and Retirement Fund.

The meeting was the first action of the KSMA convention which Tuesday begins its general sessions, including a three-hour color telecast from General Hospital here. Third-party or corporate practices generally mean that a hospital, industry, fund or association has some say-so about what sort of treatment will be given, by whom and under what conditions. Eastern. Kentucky doctors last year complained about the UMW hospitals offered in Kentucky complaint and of the UMW a own at the convention then: That some Eastern Kentucky county medical societies will not admit as members doctors hired by the fund. The KSMA committee on labormanagement health plans also heard these complaints: 1.

Some doctors are hired on a part-time basis by the UMW fund and given office space in UMW hospitals. Community doctors called this unfair competition. 2. Doctors hired by the fund on a fulltime basis treat some patients who are not UMW beneficiaries. The money goes to a spethe cial UMW fund to help pay doctors' salaries.

The question is whether this is unethical because it "exploits" the doctor or patient. 3. The fund was accused of "paid advertising" in the form of "undue publicity in the press which had been solicited." The KSMA committee on corporate practice said "Perhaps more than anything else, our physicianpatient relationship is the foundation for all good medical care. "Change it, impair it, or destroy it," by encroachment of a third party, and the medical care in this country will suffer a major, if not catastrophic setback," the committee said. Another report recommended Kentucky revise its coroner system.

It would provide that if a coroner does not succeeded succeed in office himself, he can be by a licensed doctor. Phone Talks (Continued From Page One) timed to coincide with the tionwide Western Electric strike. Some 18,500 employes were out. The outcome there appeared to hinge on Western Electric negotiations in New York. There were no reports or disorder in the first nationwide installers' strike since 1954.

At issue were wages, travel allowances and whether a new contract should run for one year or two. The strike originally was threatened for Aug. 25, when a contract covering 23,000 installers and maintainers of equipment expired. However, peace talks continued and the CWA held off strike action until 6 a. m.

today. The striking installers themselves were almost powerless to effect telephone serivce. It. was their picket lines that evoked a sympathy reaction from the switchboard operators who have a direct hand in the functioning of the nation's telephone network. Mayfield Man Hurt In Nightclub Fracas A 41-year-old Mayfield man was treated at Riverside Hospital Saturday night for head injuries he said he" sustained in a fight at Hopper's 400 Club, 9th and Washington St.

Jerome Walsh said he received the injuries in a fight with James Hopper, owner of the club, and Owen Johnson, a bartender. He charged that they hit him with blackjacks. He said he would prosecute but Monday no warrant had been taken. Practicing 'Dozer' Driver Wrecks Borrowed Auto The lawyers voted 19-13 against adoption of the plan and about a dozen attorneys attending the meeting refrained from voting on the question. The lawyers spent most of the day discussing the program of judicial reforms adopted here last week by the Judiciary Advisory Council.

The council expects to ask the legislature next year to adopt their proposals and call for a vote on a constitutional amendment to put the plan into effect. Wilson Wyatt, Louisville, recommended that 8 uniform commercial code be adopted for the state, Mrs. Gray's Body To Arrive In Princeton Today PRINCETON, Sept. 16 (Special) -The body of Mrs. Mildred Delores Gray, 23, who was killed a California, automobile accident, here Tuesday and will be taken to Morgan Funeral Home.

Agencies Investigating Plane Crash NEW BEDFORD, Sept. 16 -Four agencies Monday night began 8 joint investigation into the Sunday night crash of a twin-engined Northeast Airlines DC3 in which 10 persons died and 14 others were injured. Joseph O.

Fluet, chief Civil Aeronautics Board investigator, ordered the wreckage impounded. The New York bound plane broke apart as it smashed a 400- foot path through the trees. It crashed into a murky swamp only a half mile west of the end of the runway for which it was headed on instruments because of fog. Both the pilot, Vincent L. Pitts, 35, of Wellesley, and the co-pilot, Roger W.

Sweetland 33, of Arlington, were killed. Among the most seriously injured was stewardess Nancy Lehan, 24, of Brockton, who, although in great pain, expressed regret she couldn't have helped the injured. She suffered a fractured pelvis and leg and questionable internal injuries. Seven of the 21 in the crash boarded the plane at Nantucket and the other 14 at Marthas Vineyard. Among those killed in Sunday's crash were Charles A.

Chace, 27, assistant vice president of the First National City Bank of New York, and Russell Davenport Bell, 70, one of Montreal's most prominent financiers. The injured included Mrs. Joan von Koschembahr, wife of a German baron and daughter of Charles Grief Baible, prominent Cleveland industrialist. Mayor Mann (Continued From Page One) terrupted 8 speech-making schedule to come to Little Rock. Meanwhile, Faubus is approaching a deadline the summons to appear Friday before U.

S. District Judge Ronald N. Davies, who ordered integration in Central High School, and who represents the massive authority of federal government. Numerous well-informed people in Little Rock believe Faubus will pull out the guardsmen before Friday, rather than wait for the court hearing. It is taken for granted that Davies will issue a preliminary injunction to shut off further interference with the enrollment of the Negroes.

Questions Remain Davies has been away from Little Rock several days. He was reported returning Tuesday night or Wednesday. The crucial questions awaiting answer today are: 1. If Faubus removes the guardsmen, will state troopers and Little Rock policemen replace them. And will they be under orders to protect the Negroes or to stop them from signing up for classes? Faubus said in a televised interview that, without guards, "you would have had the imminence of disorder and violence within the school and outside the school, and whether or not it breaks out in the school, it can break out in other sections of the city." 2.

Does the information on potential violence gathered in investigations. by the Federal Bureau of Investigation square with the governor's information? He says he took action when information came to him that disorders would break out in Little Rock when the Negroes tried to enter the high school. But he has not publicly disclosed details of his evidence although repeatedly asked by reporters about it. 3. Is the governor waiting now for Washington to instruct federal authorities in Little Rock to modify Judge Davies' original der for Central High to be integrated immediately? says time is the important, observers factor in believe the situation.

he is bargaining with the federal government, for a postponement of integration in exchange for quietly withdrawing the National Guard. Whatever his move, the governor was giving no indications today. Reporters asked for anhother conference but were told there -was little likellhood of ing Faubus now, but the lawyers took no action on the plan. Under Wyatt's proposal, all laws relating to sales, stocks and bonds, warehouses and the like, would be abolished and 8 uniform law adopted to cover all the categories. Only one state, it was pointed out, now has such a code.

It has adopted by Pennsylvania. New York and Missouri are now considering such a law. Herbert H. Sledd, Lexington, addressed the lawyers on title insurance. A banquet closed the district meeting tonight.

Speculation that Pibulsonggram might seek refuge in the embassy seemed unfounded. No Thai guards, either army or police, were at foreign diplomatic missions. All three of the principalsthe premier, Sarit and Phao-once were allied in the Thai cabinet. The breakup started over a recent order by Pibulsonggram for cabinet officials to sever all outside business connections or resign. That order was believed prompted by foreign criticism of government corruption.
