The paper identifies Charles “Coco” Hicks, Victor Perez and Isaiah “Butterfly” Hurley as the three Panthers held in Hudson County Jail in Jersey City on the police-station attack accusation. It gives combined bail of $50,000. The individually captioned Jimmy York photograph does not identify him as one of those three prisoners. No new physical custody spell or exact release is established. The Black Panther, May4,1969 vol2 no2, original PDF page 8.

The May 4, 1969 Black Panther identifies Charles "Coco" Hicks, Victor Perez and Isaiah "Butterfly" Hurley as three Panthers being held in Hudson County Jail in Jersey City over an alleged machine-gun attack on a police station. The paper reports combined bail of $50,000; that is a collective bail amount, not an individual fine or sentence. It challenges the prosecution as political repression. The account establishes contemporaneous pretrial custody but supplies no exact admission or release date.
The August 2, 1969 Black Panther identifies Isaiah Rowley, Charles Hicks and Victor Perez as Jersey City Panthers held in Hudson County Jail since December 2, 1968. It disputes police testimony about an alleged November 29, 1968 Greenville precinct attack and treats their confinement as political repression. The December 2 date conflicts with the existing December 5 arrest date; this contemporary Party account is preserved without silently replacing that date or supplying an unreported release or complete custody duration.
