With that specifically aimed blow at the U.S. Supreme Court and its 1954 school desegregation decision,* Circuit Judge Sebe Dale, 62, last week empaneled the Pearl River County grand jury, charged the jurors to "go into the jury room like men, do your duty, come out like men and keep your mouths shut." With 23 cases to consider, the khaki-clad farmers and paper-mill workers returned 17 indictments. Notably missing: indictment of lynch-law executioners of Mack Charles Parker, Negro rape suspect dragged from the unguarded Poplarville jail last April and shot to death...
