Gleason v. Keswick Improvement Association Inc‪.‬

The four appellants were convicted by the court sitting without a jury of violating Code (1957), Art. 27, Sec. 123, by "acting in a disorderly manner to the disturbance of the public peace" in a "place of public resort or amusement." Two of appellants are white men, one is a white woman, and the other a Negress. Accompanied by a Negro who was not tried, they had gone as a group to Gwynn Oak Amusement Park in Baltimore County, which as a business policy does not admit Negroes, and were arrested when they refused to leave after being asked to do so.
