Biography

A25-year-old Black worker surnamed Rollins was arrested at KansasCity on an allegation of robbing, beating and attacking a white woman. The damaged right edge preserves only Charl… of his given name, which is not completed by guesswork. The June28 dispatch conflicts between lastWednesday and TuesdayJune21 arrest chronology. It attributes a church alibi and challenges the police bloodhound and identification account. July6 hearing was future, not a conviction.
