Plea For Continuance
Non-Violence Program
By T. C. JERVAY
WILMINGTON —I tr. Hubert A.
Eaton, prominent physician and
surgeon of this coastal community
and nationally-known civil rights
leader, won complete vindication
of the second-degree murder
charges, for which he was iieing
tried, when Thur.sday Superior
Court Judge William J, Bundy dis
missed the charges as he ruled
the state's evidence against Dr,
Eaton was insufficient to send the
case to the jury.
Dr, Eaton was being tried for
the death of Miss Alma Jenita
Frederick, 30-year-old Kenansville.
librarian who died in the doctor’.'
office July 30, 1963, The body was
exhumed five months later in De
cember, 1963, but it ’A'as not until
August of this year that Dr, Eaton
was indicted by a New Hanover
County jury, without benefit of
defense of himself.
Dr, Eaton had listed cause of
Mi.ss Frederick’s death as anaphy
lactic shock from penicillin. The
state, however, sought to prove
that death resulted from pulmo
nary embolism a.' a result of a
foreign substance being inserted
into tiie uterus In aw attempt to
cause an abortion.
The state ba.sed its case mainly
on the testimony of Dr. George
T.iimh pathologist at James Walk
er Memorial Hospital, which is
under Federal Court order to in
tegrate its facilities and admit
Negro physicians. Dr. Eaton and
a group of two fellow-physicans
initiated the suit which has set a
'egal precedent which influenced
major changes in the interpreta
tion of the Hill-Burton Act. At-
•orney John J. Burney, Jr, one
of Dr, Eaton’s legal battery of
three, had one prospective juror
disqualified when the man said
that he formerly held membership
in the KKK, and that Dr. Eaton’s
civil rights activities would pre-

Dr. Martin Lutfcer King, Jr. ,
president of the Southern Christ
ian Leadership Conference, told a
North Carolina College audience
Friday evening that in a real
sense, "the old order of segrega
tion is passing way. The new
order of freedom and human dig
nity is coming into being . .
Addressing an overflow crowd
of some 9,000 people at the public
appearance in the college’s gym
nasium, the civil rights leader and
1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner
spoke on the subject, “Remaining
Awake Through a Great Revolu
tion."
After the address, King was
nearly mobbed by hundreds of
wildly enthusiastic well-wishers—
some who offered congratulations:
some who sought aiitosraphs; and
others ’Abo wanted to “Just touch
him.” "
Asserting in the speech that a
great social revolution Is taking
place throughout the world, sweep
ing away an old order and bring
ing into being a new order. King
discu.ssed the emergence of new,
independent nations of the world
A great social revolution, he said
is taking place also In the United
States. “The new order of freedom
and human dignity Is coming Into
being, and I hav« no doubt'to
night about the fact that the sys
tem of racial segregation is on its
death bed. The only thing that’s
uncetraln about It Is how costly
the seereeatlonistt will make the
funeral,” he declared.
He suggested our things to be
done by persons who would “re

volution:” I

U. s. Suprelne
Court Gets Death
Sentences Cases
Attorneys for Thomas Wansley
have appealed his case to the U
S, Supreme Court even though
Wansley’s f*o death sentences
have been voided by the Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals.
The Negro youth had been con
victed here of raping a white
woman who could not identify him
and a Japanese woman with whom
he said he had previous sexual
relations.
One of his convictions was
based on a confession which po
lice said they obtained from Wan
sley after he was arrested as a
suspect in the rape of the white
'A'oman.
The youth's attorneys arc not
satisfied with the basis on which
Virginia’s highest court granted
him new trials and set aside the
death sentences. Their aim is to
set him free entirely instead of
simply winning new trials.
“We are completely dissatisfied
with the reversals handed down
by the state court because they
were granted on small technicali
ties,” said William M, Kunstler,
New York, one of Wansley’s at
torneys. He is working with at
torney Kinoy and Len Holt, a
member of the legal committee of
the Southern Conference Educa
tional Fund (SCEF), New Orleans,
“We are going to ask the U. S.
Supreme Court to review com
plaints which were ignored by the
«tate court,” Kunstler explained,
“In our appeal to the U. S. Su
preme Court, we are contending
that Wansley’s confessions are not
admissible in court because the
woman who was assaulted was
not even able to identify Wansley
in court.
“The next time I come to Lynch
burg it will be to get Wansley out
of that jail. If the U. S. Supreme
Court agrees to review the cases.
I am .sure that we will ask that
Wansley be allowed bond.’’
