THOMPSON DENIES KILLING OF CURD
Fired On Officers Think ing Them Ku Kluxers,
 He Says

TALLADEGA, Ala, Sept. 26.-(Spe- cial. l.)-Bud Thompson, in jail here for the alleged staying of Lawrence Curd of Ragland, Ala, denied here today that he did the shooting, but admits hard feeling existed between his and Curd.
 Thompson's story is that Curd came to his house and took his 13-year-old daughter and another girl for ride. He says that Curd was drinking so he went out and took his daughter out of the car. Some words passed, he ad- mitted, but he contends he left Curd un- harmed with the other girl.
 According to Thompson he and his sons fired on officers who came to ar rest him because he thought they were Ku Klux Klansmen. He explained that he was abducted from his home a few weeks ago by a masked band, who warned him about keeping whisky around. They threatened to come back again, he stated.
 Thompson and his two sons are all in jail here, charged with assault on officers. Calhoun county has asked for Thompson, where he will likely be transferred later on charge of murder. The killing of Curd occurred on the Cal houn side. One of the sons was hit by several buckshot during the gun battle with officers and Deputy Perry Camp bell of Talladega was also shot in the leg. The injuries are not serious.
