—Tear gas bombs were set off by
national guardsmen here today to
disperse a crowd which milled
about the court house after Walter
Miller, negro, pleaded not guilty to
the assault and murder of Vivian
Woodward.
The bombs were thrown as the
112 guardsmen took the negro from
the court room to a truck for re-
moval to Birmingham.
The two men were arrested as
guardsmen accused them of trying
to create a disturbance. About 400
or 500 persons gathered at the court
house.
With the crowd scattered by the
tear gas, the guardsmen set out in
a caravan of 10 army trucks for
Birmingham where Miller will be
held for safe keeping. They brought
him from that city early today for
arraignment.
