NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UPI)- The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled Thursday that John Kasper may remain free under $2,500 bond pending U.S. Supreme Court review of his conviction on charges of inciting to riot.
Kasper was fined $500 and sentenced to six months in the workhouse last year for his part in violence which accompanied integration of Nashville city schools in 1957. The Nashville conviction followed one in federal court at Knoxville, Tenn., growing out of violence attending integration at the Clinton, Tenn. high school in 1956.
Kasper was released Dec. 16 after serving his federal sentence in a reformatory at Tallahassee, Fla. He is appealing the state sentence to the U.S. Supreme Court.
