GEORGIA: Worthy Indictment

After the massacre of eight Negro convicts at a Georgia highway camp last July (TIME, July 2 et seq.), a Glynn County grand jury decided that Warden H. G. Worthy and four camp guards were justified in firing on the prisoners. Last week, at nearby Savannah, a federal grand jury thought differently. It indicted the warden and his guards for depriving the Negroes of their lives without due process of law.
