Cincinnatian 1 Of 15 Pastors Freed In South
Rev. Vernon P. Woodward of Cincinnati was among 15 Episcopal ministers who were freed of breach-of-the-peace charges yesterday in Jackson, Miss. The bi-raclal group of ministers had been fined and sentenced to four-month jail terms after attempting to desegregate a bus station restaurant last fall. The group, which Included a son-in-law of New York’s Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, had spent only a few days in jail following arrest. Rev. Mr. woodward resigned as curate at the Church of the Advent, Walnut Hills, last September to join the pilgrimage which landed him in jail. Charges were dropped against the ministers “out of respect and admiration for the Episcopal Church and the Mississippi Episcopal churchmen,” according to the prosecution in Jackson.
