As Crump was led away from his solitary cell near, the death chair, a woman jail worker exclaimed in sobs and a soft voice,
“Thank God. 1 '
Since last Sunday slogans appeared around the city, scrawled on the walls of buildings such as “Do away with the chair,” and
“Spare Crump.”
LOUIS NIZER. New York, celeamong the scores of persons who rallied to the side of Crump. He appeared before the Illinois Pa-, , role Board on Monday of this ! week, asking the state to spare the Jife of Crump because of “the miracle of bis rehabilitation.” 1 Gov. Kerncr’s decision in granting clemency to Crump has 1 touched off extensive legal argui ments. Many attorneys, some asI sociated with state government venture that no governor could issue recommendations — “199 years without parole”—binding on any future state pardon or parole
board.
j OTHER PERSONS associated with the case contended against ! the assumption that Crump has [changed for the good. Judge Richard B. Austin of federal District Court who was an assistant state’s attorney in 1953 and obtained l Crump’s confession at that time . scored assertions of a change in 1 Crump. He pictured Crump as a “cunning killer” feigning goodness 1 to escape death. Warden Johnson of the Cook Countv jail said, “I think that the governor should be congratulated for proving without a doubt that there is such a thing as rehabilitation, both spiritually and materially, behind prison bars.” Donald P. Moore, the attorney who has represented Crump for the last four years, broke into tears when he heard of the governor’s decision in granting clemency. He said, This is one of the most hopefut things to happen in this state . . .” Long after Crump’s life had been spared by the governor a group of pickets paraded around the county jail. They had been demonstrating with signs since Tuesday bearing among others the slogan, “Spare Crump.” Asked why they were demonstrating one picket said they wanted ^o * sfS (Slpital punishment abolished in all instances.

* * *
The last auxiliary to meet will be the 15th artnual session of the Indiana Missionary Baptist Brotherhood Union Convention 6f which Mr. Zerah Sweeney is president. The brotherhood convention will condu'ct an “Educational Hour”, to be assembled by the educational committee. The subject of the discussion for that hour will be “The Uninformed Must Be Informed.” The committee will divide the reports into three divisions, “rtdme. Church, and Community”.

are removed, since this is an
tegrated group.”
Fender quoted Coleman as saying he would not remove the signs, that they were an expression of his freedom of speech guaranteed under the United States Constitution. He also asserted the members of the group did not know how to read, nor understand the meaning of the word, “solicit.” “He demanded that we put our money whei’e our mouths are if we wanted to come in,” Fender
continued
Fender, a student at Indiana University Extension, contended the signs were an insult and had a psychological effect on wouldbe Negro patrons, at whom the primarilj^m^poleman sai®^ he would never - take down the signs and accused members of the group of lying on him when they accused him of using profanity. “Hell, I have a right to say whatever I please,” the park owner was quoted as remarking. Asked by Fender whether he hadn’t just used the word ‘hell’ Coleman became enraged and struck the white youth in the stomach with his fist, members of the group who had witnessed the exchange agreed. FOLLOWING THE PROTEST Fender, accompanied by John Ward, NAACP administrative assistant, and Mrs. Faye Williams, Youth Council sponsor, went to the prosecutor’s office anu signed a complaint against Coleman. The names of Iwo persons, including a foreign exchange student who wasn’t a member of the group, were listed as witnesses. As of Thursday afternoon Fender said he had received no official notification as to what action had been taken in the case. “I wasn’t hurt badly but he had no right to hit me and I want to see justice done,” Fender told The Recorder. Contacted at his oince and asked why Coleman had not been arrested and brought to court to answer Fender’s charges, Prosecutor Bayt said members of his staff had investigated the charges and “learned that no blows had been struck.” Bayt said that several persons, including Coleman, had been questioned, although he admitted the complainant and the two persons listed as witnesses had not been
contacted.
“Whenever I take a person to court I want to think I can get a conviction,” the prosecatOr said. He asked for the names of all members of the gfohp present at the time of the alleged assault and said the investigation would con-
tinue.
Reminded that the president of the Studebacker-Packard Corp. was arrested at South Bend a short time ago for scuffling with a picket, Bayt replied, “I imagine he was doing more than scufflilng.” On Thursday afternoon, however, a radio newscast quoted the prosecuior as saying that the
case had been closed.
Commenting on the radio news report, Rev. Brown said, “If the report that the case has been closed is correct, then our pickets
stand denied protection.
“THE FAILURE of the prosetor to follow through on the affidavit endangers the safety of
which was first on the scene, said upon arriving they saw the men fighting and ordered it halted immediately. They said one man, Robert Russell, was waving a
kriife.
While trying to discover the reason for the fight, the patrolmen said, the older Russell, still armed with the six-inch knife, started to stand'. The officers said they told him he was under arrest, and to drop the knife and sit back
down.
According to the officers, Russell then started ctirsing them and said he wasn’t going to be arrested. When the officers started to handcuff Russell, Ronald Boyce reportedly jumped on Adahis’ back, knocking him to the ground. Upon turning to see what was happening, Dunn Said, the younger Russell hit him and knocked him doVn, but, after a brief struggle, he subdued his attacker. The officer said at this point Robert Russell again came- at him —this time witn the handcuffs which were already clamped to one wrist. Dunn related that he told the man to stop, but he continued toward him, swinging the handcuffs. Officer Dunn said he pulled his service revolver a-it again ordered Russell to halt. When he refused, the officer fired one shot from the revolver, striking Russell in the right foot. By that time some six other police cars arrived and the five men were apprehended and arrested. Russell was taken to General Hospital where he was treated and later taken to jail.
