CHICAGO ARRESTS
Injunction Denied
f.V.Z. Press Assn.— Copyright) CHICAGO, Dec. 12.
United States District Court Judge, Richard Austin, refused to issue a temporary injunction barring the city of Chicago from prosecuting persons arrested during the Democratic National Convention. United Press International reported today. Judge Austin denied a request by the Chicago Legal Defence Committee that he rule unconstitutional the city’s ordinances under which some 685 persons were arrested during the August violence. The Legal Defence Committee's suit also asked that the Mayor, Richard Daley, and other city officials be forced to reimburse public funds used in making the television documentary, “That Trees Do They Plant,” which presented the city’s side in the violence. The suit called the documentary “propaganda.”
