DETROIT — Dr. W. O. Ander
son, crusading president of the
Albany, Ga. Movement, has
been ordered to return to Albany
for a hearing on Oct. 7 on a
conspiracy charge by a Federal
Court Judge here.
U. S. District Judge Thomas
P. Thornton, overruling Dr. An
derson's protests that he faced
certain conviction if he. had
face trial in Albany, ordered him
to return, but suggested that Dr.
Anderson could seek a change
of venue of the trial.
Dr. Anderson, who now makes
his home in Detroit where he is
studying advanced clinical work,
was one of several Albany, Ga.,
civil rights leaders indicted by
a federal grand jury on August
9 for obstructing justice.
He and two others were charg
ed with conspiracy to picket nud
boycott a grocery store because
the owner, as a juror in a Fed
eral civil suit last spring, had
voted against a Negro plaintiff
in a damage suit against a local
sheriff. Dr. Anderson is free
under $5,000 personal bond.
