County proposal to require

bond form before a bond is
set by magistrates and judg

"unconstitutional and
racist", by Attorney Ir

Under attack is black
District Judge Stafford
Bullock's lowering of the
$22,000 bond of 16 year
old Wade T. Richardson,
also black, "and Richard
son's subsequent arrest and
charge of knifing and leav
ing for dead a white woman
apartment manager last
week.
Charged with four armed
robberies, Richardson's
bond was lowered to $1200
by Bullock. While awaiting
trial, Richardson was charg
ed with stabbing an
apartment manager twelve
times and robbin her. '
Bullock came under tre
mendous fire from Raleigh
newspapers which published
statements of unnamed
court officials, and police
who disagreed with the bail
lowering, although admit
tedly Bullock had done
nothing wrong. '
Bullock defended his
bond lowering saying the
law stipulates that the only
purpose of bond is to
assure a defendant's appear
ance in court. However,
some judges disagree saying
that bail should be used to
keep people suspected of
being dangerous off the
streets. ' : '.
The result of the dispute
has been a decision by
Chief Superior Court Judge
James H. "Pou Bailey,
Raleigh Police Chief Fred
rick K. Heineman, and Wake
Solicitor Randolph Riley to
require police officers to
complete a one-page form at
the time a suspect is book
ed. '
Riley said the form
would contain questions
concerning the 'suspect's
prior record, address, how
long he had lived there,
his job, name of employer,
and length of employment.
The form would indicate

Charlottcans Plan March From Quoon City to Capitol City
CHARLOTTE-A group
of Charlotteans protesting
the continued incarceration
of the Charlotte Three and
Rev. Ben -Chavis of the
Wilmington 10, have an
nounced a march from the
Queen City to the Capitol
City beginning this week
end. Rev.s James Barnett,
who had walked the 175
mile trek in December,
1977 to ask 'Governor
James Hunt to pardon the
Wilmington 10, said the
planned march was primari
ly focused on the Charlotte
Three.
The Charlotte Three
were convicted in state
courts of arson of a horse
stable in 1972. The convic
tion was based upon later to
be discovered by "The Char'
lotte Observer" evidence
bought by the U.S.' Justice
Department. The Justice
'Department paid several
thousand dollars for the
testimony of Theodore
Hood and David "Washington
against activist Jim Grant,
poet TJ. Reddy, and com
munity worker, Charlie
Parker. Hood and Washing
ton were witnesses in
another case against Ben
Chavis and Jim Grant in
federal court. In a surprise
move, the UJS. Supreme
Court refused to overturn
the conviction last October
and the Three were ordered
to return to prison to com
plete 55 year prison terms.
Rev.. Barnett told THE
CAROLINA TIMES that
Charlotte Three supporters
had expected Governor
Hunt to pardon the Char
lotte Three before last
Christmas, as had been re
quested by thousands of
groups and individuals and
the Charlotte City Council..
Hunt legal aide, Jack Cozort
told the press when Hunt
did not pardon the Char
lotte Three mat the chief
executive did not have
enought information to act
on the request. '
"We had faith in Gover
nor Hunt and Dupree
around Christmas time that
they were going to do
something and we just sat
down and did not do any
thing", Barnett commented.
"We have found that they
are not going to do anything
unless there is a massive
drive going on to free the
Ten' and the Three', he
said. '
AVe have gotten fired up
and we are going to hit the
streets on the seventeenth
and we are -going to be
calling on people from all
over the state to wake up

ers will stop at several towns
between Charlotte and
Raleigh including Greens

towns, he says, local people
will join in the march and
will sponsor rallies. The
group is expected in Dur
ham Friday, March 23. A
mass meeting has been
announced for 7 pjn that
evening at Russell Memorial
CME Church on Alston
Avenue.
Having spent five months
in prison since their last
imprisonment, Jim Grant
