WOOLRIDGE CASE TO GRAND JURY
The case of Arthur M. Woolridge, 46, of the 600 block W. Walnut, was waived to the grand jury by his attorney, C. Ewbank Tucker, when he was arraigned in Police Court early this week on a handbook charge. Woolridge was arrested at Churchill Downs, October 28, one month after he had been dismissed by a September grand jury on a previous bookie charge. When it was revealed that Woolridge had been arrested five times this year on handbook charge, Prosecutor DeWees, recommended a fine of $75, but Woolridge preferred taking chances with November grand jury. Tucker said his client was innocent.

INGRAMS MAY SOON BE RELEASED
KENTUCKY SOCIAL WORKERS ACTIVE
CONFERRED WITH LEADERS OF RACE IN HOME OF LEXINGTON MINISTER
By Taylor Ballew
Lexington, Nov. 24--James Logan Deck, National Commissioned Social Worker of the Church of God, who has manifested a great interest in the freedom of Mrs. Rosa Lee Ingram, and her two sons, in prison in Georgia, is of the opinion that the Ingrams will be released soon. In an interview here in the home of Rev. J. W. Chavers, pastor of Quinn Chapel Church, the white defender of human rights, regardless of race, creed or color, as he proclaims, told The Leader reporter that he would meet the Georgia Pardon Board on December 22, and he said he believed, from information he has received that Mrs. Ingram and her sons would be released at an early date.
Mr. Delk, who lives in Hopkinsville, Ky., set out to aid Mrs. Ingram upon the conviction of her and her sons for the murder of a white man, generally regarded as having been done in self defense, and in a "letter-pledge" to do all in his power to secure the lawful release of Mrs. Ingram and her two teen age [boys?] "Mr. Delk, [promises that in seeking?] to have the Ingrams to move to Christian County, Ky., he will pay all moving expenses from Georgia, furnish them a well-improved farm of not less than 50 acres, with a good milk cow, a couple of hogs, 100 chickens, a team, $100 in cash and allow the Ingrams to live on the farm for 5 years without paying rent"--and if they desire they may remain on the said farm for life by paying an amount of one-third of all she and her sons may produce on the farm.
