The main tri41 proceedings of HueyP. Newton, Minister of Defense of theBlack Panther Party, ended on Monday,A~t 200, with the prosecution andthe defense presenting their final argu-ments. Prosecutor Donald Whyte,failing civil servant and AlamedaCounty's third choice to handle thiscase, revealed himself even morethoroughly as the shell of a manpossessed by self-hatred. Such reve-lations would have been moreappropriately made in a psychiatrist'soffice, as opposed to in a court of law.

anything else.

Whyte opened his final argumentwith his fifth-rate versiOn of the"history of Law", citing ancient pro-verbs to suit his irrational statementsand arguments. His argument UXlS al-legedly based on two questions:1) What circumstances brought Freyand Huey P. Newton together; and2) Diq Huey P. Newton shoot and killofficer Frey ? Whyte tried to destro:vthe image of Frey as a racist, afte,'testimony from a cross-section of theOakland Black commt#tity revealedFrey to be just that.

However, Whyte concentrated mostof his energies and efforts onattempting to destroy the respect andlove, the high esteem that everyone inthe community, particularly the Blackcommunity, has for Huey P. Newton.In the process, he UXJS more success-fiI.l in projecting his own sickness andself-hatred and personal jealousies ofthe man he UXJS trying to convict than

Whyte's UXJrped sense of" good" and"evil" came to light when he made apoor analogy of why the Minister oJDefense should be convicted, statingthat a child who accidentally trippedand fell, breaking "mother's mostvaluable possession", a vase, UXJS notnecessarily "evil"; however, one uhopurpose.fully tripped, breaking thatvase in the process, could beconsidered in fact "bad" or "evil".He .further extended his examPle bysaying that the "bad" or "evil" childshould have his pants pulled down andbe spanked. First, the idea that humanlife can be compared to a piece ofproperty is clearly indicative ofWhyte's own sub-human sense of hu-manity. Secondly, his inferences thatthe Minister anl all Black peoPle are

comparable to ildren to be spanked,

is clearly r cist. A psychologiststudying this case and Whyte'sbehavior, in particular, indicated thatthe pulling down of the child's pantsand spanking him, althOttgh not equalto taking a man's life and thereforea poor example, is more indicativeof the internal, deep-rooted psy-chological problems ofWhyte thanany-thing else.

Whyte feels that the Minister ofof Defense should be "spanked", or inhis mind killed, because Prey is dead.Just as he gives no thmJght to how or

Officer John Prey has become awell-known name to the Black com-munities in the U,S, For it was Of-ficer Prey of the Oakland Police De-partment who stopped Huey P, NeWtonon October 28th, 1967. And it was onthat date, as a result of that harassmentby Prey that Huey P. NeWton was shotand wounded and arrested for murder,of Prey, and thE' wounding of Frey'sfellow police officer, Herbert Heanes,The trial of Huey P, Newton, Ministerof Defense of the Black PantherParty,for this alleged murder has caused thecry "Free Hueyl" to be heard andsaid around the world, Huey P. Newtonis innocent of this charge. He did notkill Prey, nor wound Heanes, but theU,S, Power structure has joined itsforces to use the incident that occurredon October 28th (1967) to attempt tomurder him,

W ith all of the books and informationwritten about the trial or about Hueyhimself, very little has been said aboutJohn Frey, who was known in theBlack community of Oakland beforeOctobe"r 28th of 1967. Oakland's Blackcommunity, particularly West oak-land, was familiar with Officer JohnFrey. He.. had been calling them"dirty niggers" and "Blackbastards"long 'enough for them to very wellknow that name and face. MostBlacks in West Oakland hatedFrey.

Back in November of 1968 (Novem-ber 12th), a little over a year afterFrey's death, a short interview wasmade with Frey's superior officer onOctober 28th, 1967. Sergeant John F.Ream of the Oakland Police Depart-ment there revealed not only theracist and low-level mentality of

At that time Ream was the PatrolSergeant of District One (Downtownand West Oakland). There are fivepolice districts in Oakland. Ream hadeleven patrolmen on his squad. Freyhad been in his District for alx>ut three,months, having just completedhispro-bationary year. Prey wanted to workon Ream's squad, and had requestedthis. Ream said he usually investigatedapplicants when there was an opening,and he handpicks them. But that time,he took a chance and accepted Frey.When later asked why Frey wanted tobe in District One, Ream said Frey

In reference to the charges (Julyl6, 1971) published in the various newsmedia (throughout the United States)defaming my character, attacking mymen(ality, and holding me up to publicridicule, I De,~y the Charges by

--State Agents (especially District At-torney Carry Thomas and Coroner Eu-gene Fontaine of Marin County) whohave accused me of murdering JudgeHarold Haley, August 7, 1970.

Carry Thomas in consPiracy withprison officials and other white ra-cists lied on James McClain and werecarrying out Kangaroo Court pro-ceedings on tal&£ charges. (1 have evi-dence not to be disclosed yet.)

RUCHELL'SSLAVE CASE

District Attorney Carry Thomas wason the floor {face down) with his hands(arms) over his head, trembling andscreaming like a ...Pig.

1 witnessed Judge Haley cut doumby the pigs, while waving his handsand hollaring to the pigs","don't shoot,don't shoot","

District Attorney Thomas hasdepicted himself a "hero", while lyingabout he shot the peoPle in the van,and saved the lives of those threewomen jurors. District Attorney CarryThomas has willfully lied about Jona-than putting his hand out of the vanwindow (door) with a gun. Thequestions are what about the StateAgents that did the shooting: 1) wasit the lives of the judge, jurors, anddistrict attorney that they seeked tosave; or 2) was it an escape thatthey had to stop, without regard forthe safety or lives of innocent people?

This is a flagrant racist slave casewhich involves Governor Reagan,as well as many state and federal.judges, who are acting in a direct con-spiracy to deny me the right to filelegal documents and the right to seenews reporters whom I wish to see.In that they may repeat the performanceof my 1963 and 1965 Kangaroo trial,where I UKlS yoked with court-appointedhatchetmen, tied, gagged, beaten andconvicted by use of known pe?juredtestimony.

The Klan judges who propagandizedall documents as frivolous and madethose gag law decisions denying mefreedom of press and access to thecourt are evidence showing where theymake mockery of the law, byattemptingto capitalize off the 414 years ofstereotype thinking that "white isright", a Black man has no rightswhich a white man is bound to respect.

RUCHELL MAGEE

The San Quentin Prison GUilrds andthe Marin County officials murderedJames McClain, Jonathan Jackson,William Christmas, and in the process,killed Judge Harold Haley, and inflictedinjuries on other peoPle as well.

Was it not the State Court that re-cently denied one Mrs. Marie Grahamthe right to sue State Officials (thejurors' so-called rescuers) for da-magC3, based upon a prison rule whichprovides that State Agents are im-mune to Civil Suit Actions wherethere are injuries of innocent peopleduring an escape by prisoners ?

The Governor of California, and thejudges have the power to investigatethe flagrant racist Slave Case, but be-cause both have Played a partin hampering a just disposition of thecause, it would be foolish for me toexpect them to investigate them-selves.

The State Agents not only murderedand subjected people to injury, but pro-ceeded to utilize their status as Stateofficials to attribute their murder toRuchell MaGee, an attempt to coverup their indiscriminate acts, whichwere sufficient to state a cause ~faction under the Civil Rights Acts,based on misuse of power .

The facts surrounding this case mustand will be exposed; I halJe elJidencewhich will destroy pigs' false propa-ganda.

DEAD MULE

In this inhuman society, a man's

right to live is directly connected with

his right to work. In America human

rights have become almost non-

existent for Black and other poor, op-

pressed people, because these basic

rights have been relegated to the level

of privilege.

Wallace Parnell is an elderly Bi:ackman from Burton, South Carolina, whohas for the past six years been unableto find emPloyment due tn ';is physicalcondition. America had decided thatWallace Parnell, thr(fUlfh no fault ofhis own, had no right to work, there-fore he had no right to live. But Wal-lace Parnell wanted to live, so he gothimself a mule and cart and hiredhimself out to collect trash. A mulenamed " Doly" ; a mule who pulled the

cart that Wallace Parnell could not pull,every day for the past six years; amule whose existence came to meanWallace Parnell's existence.

About two weeks ago, in Burton,South Carolina, there was a powerfulsummer storm. The swlden down-pourweakened the ground, and the top ofa septic tank in the yard of a villagewhere Parnell worked caved in. Hismule " Doly" was standing above it,

and slipped, fell into the septic tankand slowly drowned. That day mightas well have meant the death ofWallace Parn~ll. His last means 01survival was gone.

Frey didn't have any real buddieson the force (the kind that you seeoutside of work), but this was notunusual, Ream said, because he saidhe (Ream) was the same way. Reamdid say, however, that Frey had a lotof friends among the MP's at the Oak-land Army Base. And he said that he,however, did have an on-the-jobpersonal relationship with Frey. Andof Frey himself Ream stated, "Freywas assigned to Beat One:A, whichcovers the area along 7th Street -the highest crime rate area in the

.city (in one month there were 52 am-bulance runs there)...Frey was a young,

clean-cut, middle class, suburban man,thrown into an unfamiliar situation,an area with the worst possible crimein the Bay Area...He was possibly tootrusting. He did not recognize the vi-cious capability of some he dealtwith...He was about 5'11" and stocky(about 190 pounds)." And, Ream de-scribed him further by calling him"thick thighs".

Frey catfle on duty at 11:00 p.m.and was on the street by 11:30, workinguntil 7:00 a;m. Frey had just rotatedto the night shift (shifts are six weeks).He had been working the day shiftduring the demonstrations at the In-duction Center during the Stop the DraftWeek. That was October 21st; so hehadn't been on the night shift long.Ream did not know if Frey had everworked the night shift before. AndReam said -"off the record" -"Frey is not what I would categorize

as a 'good cop'. He had no 'moxey'(guts)." He referred to Frey as a"23-year-old boy". In fact, Reamsaid, he doubted if Frey could everhave been a "good cop".

With all of this in mind, Reamsaid he worried about Frey on thatbeat and was going to have him re-moved and placed back in thepatrol wagon. Ream had taken this upwith his superior officer. The superiorofficer asked Ream if he wanted tomove Frey right then, or did he wantto wait until the regular changeover inpersonnel in three weeks -this wastwo weeks pr1or to October 2Rlh.

Because it was very obvious that theCal-Pack Association was being dis-criminated against and victims undergreater white racist monopoly capita-lism, the Black Panther Party agreedwith Cal-Pack to support their effortsin boycotting Mayfair Stores, We a-greed on the basis that all membersof Cal-Pack would donate a small,minimal amount, every week, (what-ever they choose to donate~ to thePeople's Community Survival Pro-grams, The Community--Panther boy-cott was highly successful, and infact, Mayfair Stores were shut downwithin 4 days, Mayfair Stores agreedand negotiated with Cal-Pack, BillBoyette, President of Cal-Pack andowner of Bill's Liquor Stores #1 and#2, has now outrageously and openlycome out against the very welfare ofthe people in the Black Community,He now refuses to donate a small mtni-mal amount every week to the People'sSurvival Programs, therefore, viola-ttng the agreement that was made withthe Black Panther Party and com-

CHAIRMAN 1

The peopl9 in the community, younotice that there's a boycott goingon here at 54th and Grove, Bill Boy-ette' s store. And I know a lot of peo-ple are going to make sure they knowexactly what the issue is, exactly whatwe're talking about. So we called a shortrally today in the community to try tohip the brothers and the people in thecommunity to really what' s going downand why it's going down.

The main thing today that we want tomake sure everybody is hipped to isone simple fact, Bill Boyette is. thepresident of the Cal-State TavernOwners Association, he' s the presidentof that association. Now these brothersare Black capitc.lists, but they arevictims like all members of the Blackcommunity are. That's first and fore-most to understand. They asked theBlack Panther Party to come forth andpull a demonstration off against May-.fair Market which is a chain-market,tnonopoly capitalists. The Black Pan-ther Party realizes the Black brothers(.'re victims too, just like the Blackj'eople in the Black community, so we(;greed with them, we agreed with them

~OBBY SEALE

that we would in/act bring the communityworkers who work with the Party andBlack Panther Party members down toMay/air and /orce May/air, the whitemonopoly, racist capitalist to agreewith our Black brothers, who are Blackbusinessmen. And we shut May/air downin tour days. May/air was losing fiftythousand dollars a day (that particular

May/air market up on Telegraph Ave-nue, we shut them down). But we onlydid it with the agreement that the Blackbrothers who have Black businesses inthe Black community would donatesomething every week -every week .tothe survival programs.

Now what are thesurvivalprograms?A survival pragram is the free medicalclinic, a survival program is the free/ood program, a survival program is thefree clothing program and the free shoeprogram. Now you ask me what I meanby the survival programs. The BlackPanther Party says this, that we haveto serve the peoPle with the true thingsthat are really free, with the realthings that are really free. In otherwords, the ten years that Huey and Ihave been in this struggle, we've heard

You dan't really talk about freedomwith just a bunch of superfluous words.You talk about implementing freedomand making it real. We're talking aboutgiving good quality, brand new shoes toschool children and poor peoPle in thecommunity. We're talking about givingsome brand new clothing aUKly, someslacks, designs of clothes, new clothing.Brothers and sisters aren't going forany more rummage sale st1Jl/. TheBlack community is not going for nomore of this jive talk about whatfreedom is all about when those jivepoliticians alUKlys promise us things.We're talking about. the Black pan-ther Party is talking about implemen-ting it and giving it aUKly. And that iswhat the survival program is all about.We're saying that iffree medical clinics,we're saying that if free medical clinicsare free -F R E E, th(ln we're reallybeginning to deal with freedom. Ofcourse, it takes organization. But themain point is this, the main point isthat we have to have Black unity in theBlack community before we get the sur-vivaf programs moving. We're sayingthat if a Black businessman in the Blackcommunity, if a Black businessman inthe Black community is grossing any-where from two thousand to fifte(ln thou-sand dollars a week, we're saying that weknow that of his own choice, whateverhe UKlnts to donate, that he can give alittle lousey two dollars a week, everyweek, to the survival programs, not tothe Party, to the survival programs. Sothat's what this boycott is about.

Now Bill Boyette says that he donatedsome eggs and some bacan, says hedonated some st1Jl/ to the free break-fast for children program. He says thathe told Huey that this is what he UKlntedto do. But we're saying this, that weknow that the amounts that he donatesw011,ld anly serve the breakfast forchil-dren programs in Richmortd, Oakland,San Francisco and Berkeley, all of themfor only one day -that's a payoff; pay-off because of what the Party did fo'Ythem. What the Party did for Cal-StateAssociatian. If you donate two, five, tenor fifteen dollars a week, that isn'thurting him, because who buys all theliquor. Black people drink sixty per-cent to seventy percent of all the liquorin this country. All those funds goingdown the drain. And we dan't have anyof those funds back in the communityfor the people. And that's what we'regoing to have; that's why we're going
