The trial of brother James Johnson, revolutionary black worker, charged with killing two foremen at Eldon Gear and Axle in Detroit, after being fired without cause, is underway in Detroit Recorder 's Court at the Murphy Hall of Justice.
James is facing the same racist dog pervert judge, Robert J. Colombo, that sentenced John Sinclair to 9 1/2 to 10 years for joints. People's attorney Ken Cockrel leads the defense, and anyone interested in political education should get down there at 9 a.m. and check the shit out as it goes down. Power to James Johnson and all people who refuse to submit to the bite of the snake!

CORNELIUS R. SHAFFNER, bank teller: I can't say, because I work for the Ann Arbor Bank ... I don't think there's anything wrong with people smoking it if they're mature enough to handle it and accept the responsibilities of what happens because of their actions.
