By Federal Grand Jury
The Federal Grand Jury,
Thursday, heard testimony from
Jim Jefferson on the fatal shoot
ing of his son, Emmett by 38-
year-old Homestead policeman
Paul V. Minnick on Christmas
Day. The victim’s sister, Ida Lee
Tillman, 35, also testified before
the jury. Both the elder Jeffer
son and Mrs. Tillman were eye
witnesses to the killing which re
sulted from a traffic law violation
in the Florida City.area.
The shooting occurred in the
front yard of Jefferson’s home.
The opening session of the jury
was highlighted by the appear
ance of these two important wit
nesses. The jury was probing into
the case which resulted in Min
nick’s arrest on a federal com
plaint charging him with viola
ting of the civil rights of the vic
tim. A Dade county grand jury
had previously failed to indict
Minnick on a state charge of
murder.
Emory S. Akerman, special as
sistant to the Atty General, de
clined comment on Thursday’s
hearing, but indications were that
Ihe hearing covered a wide scope
of material. Among the several
other witnesses called to testify
was Deputy Sheriff E. F. Lasse

Tempora Mutanur Et Noe Mutamur In Ellis
MIAMI, FLORIDA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY ifT 1953
The judge issued the order
after a hearing on a suit filed by
Solomon to restrain the board
from excluding his daughter from
attending school on the grounds
that she did not meet age re
quirements.
Solomon said his daughter had
been a second grader at the school
since September. The board or
dered the child removed from
school last Wednesday.
State law require children tc
be six years old on or before Jan
uary 1, to enter the first grade at
the opening of school. The child
became six on January 25.
Judge L. E. Thomas, w r ho rep
resented Solomon in the case said
the father had informed the school
principal of the child’s age at the
time of her enrollment. It was
agreed, he added, that the child
would be given an examination
and if she passed it, would be
placed in the second grade. The
child passed the examination
successfully ar.d was enrolled.
In handing down his decision,
Judge Crawford said that the
board, itself, had erred in enroll
ing the child in school before
reached the age requirement. But
now that she has oeen accepted
in school and has proved that she
can meet requirements, to ex
clude her at this time, may re
sult in a serious emotional
in the life of the child, the judge
added. Little Miss Solomon was
back in school Thursday.

sault on Holton J. Newbold. well
known Miamian, with intent to
commit second degree murder.
The order was a direct reversal
of an earlier ruling of the court,
in w r hich the convictions w r ere
upheld.
The court threw out the con
victions because Judge Ben C.
Willlard of criminal court allow
ed it to be mentioned during the
trial that Newbold, the victim of
a gangster-style “ride” had taken
a lie detector test.
Although no effect was made
to introduce the results of the
test, the fact that it was men
tioned would have impressed the
jury, according to the high court.
Newbold was left for dead after
his head had been beaten with a
rock and he h„d been shot five
times on February 28. 1951.
He amazed doctors by surviv
ing and named Kav and Isaac,
organizers for the laundry work
ers’ union, as his assailants. The
pair were convicted in criminal
court on September 20, 1951.

RALEIGH. N.C. The State
Supreme court overruled the
1 ‘assault by leer" conviction of
; sharecropper Mack Ingram Wed
nesday by deciding that he could
not be convicted of a criminal
offense “solely for what may have
been in his mind."
In effect, the high court ruled
that the old statute under which
Ingram was convicted of assault
by frightening a teen-aged white
girl is too vague to be valid.
The decision gave Ingram his
freedom. He cannot be brought
to trial again on the same charge.
Ingram has spent little time in
jail while the case moved
through the courts.
‘‘The facts inevidence in the
c;se at bar are insufficient to
make out a case of assault,” the
unanimous decision said.
"It cannot be said that a pe
destrian may be assaulted by a
look, however frightening, from
a person riding in an automobile
some distance away.”
