Retrial for Youths Moved Up 2 Weeks

Retrial of the six Cambridge youths convicted in the beating and slashing of Richmond Bachelder '50 was postponed for two weeks last Friday morning.

During their May 1 trial, two of the six were convicted of assault and battery, and the others of disturbing the peace. All appealed, and were originally scheduled to be heard May 15.

Several of the boys may change their pleas to guilty of disturbing the peace at the new trial, although all originally pleaded not guilty. By changing their pleas, they may obtain more favorable sentences.
