Mr.. Terry and Mr.. Riley and
Reyerends L. H. King and Rich

and myself to conference in
Chattanooga about three weeks
age. They told us to put our trust
in Mr.. Leibowitz and God and
the boys would sure be saved.
Claude Patterson. father of
Haywood Patterson, told me that
about a week ago he went to the
Office Of Attorney General Thomas
knight, who is prosecuting the
Sccttshoro boys, looking for Mr..
Terry. He knocked on the door of
Mr.. Knights office and when Mr..
Terry saw it was Claude, they let
him in. Claude told me that Mr..
Knight then told Mr.. Terry that
as long as the Reds were in the
case that he would make it hard
for the boys until judgment day;
but that if the boys withdrew
from the Communists and would
have no more to do with them,
then he could probably make 1t
easy on the boys, or as matter
of fact he could make it easy on
the BOYS. Claude Patterson also
told me that Mr.. Terry had told
him if he would sign Haywood up
with Mr.. Leibowitz, that Haywood
would get life sentence and do
few years and then Mr.. Leibowitz
would get a parole for him.

to get some of them out on bail
very soon, but Mr.. Terry didn't
say which ones.

Mr.. Davis said that the 1. L. d.

other mothers around, bull-dozing
us; but 1 want to say that the /.
