The front page has one column headlines: "NEGRO BOY KILLED; 300 HARASS POLICE" "Teen-Agers Hurl Cans and Bottles After Shooting by Off-Duty Officer" with related photo. (see) Coverage continues inside with photo of Lieutenant Thomas Gilligan. First report on the shooting and death of young African American, James Powell.
