MIAMI - Municipal Judge L. E. Thomas, first Negro judge in Dixie during modern times, this week held to his pledge to "stick by" his wife, Mrs. Eugenia Thomas, implicated in a murder through the determined police work of her brother, Officer Willie Nicholson, 35.
Nicholson finally succeeded in solving the murder of Beatrice Dunaway, slain October 28 when she resisted during the stick-up of a lottery counting house located across the street from the Thomas home.
The two men who admitted the murder, Aubrey Henry, 27 and Clarence Simpson, 28, implicated Mrs. Thomas in the planning of the holdup which resulted in the killing.
Though shaken by the turn of events involving his wife, Judge Thomas steadfastly promises to "stick by her all the way."
