Trail Of Blood
Clue in Staying
Of Georgian

COLUMBUS, Ga. Feb. IL (P).
Police checked blood samples
today in an effort to determine if
the person who killed Luico
Flowers, 53-year-old Department.
store owner. may have BEEN
wounded also in the exchange of
gunf1re.
Police who investigated theI
death of Mr.. Flowers. who was
white, said two trails Of blood
were near the entrance to the
Negro theater where he was
found about $3.50 am. yesterday
Detective H. T. Whitley said
today one bullet had been fired
from each of two pistols found
at the scene. An autopsy showed
that Mr.. Flowers died Of a tenn
pie wound inflicted by a .45-cali-
Der Army-type automatic pistol.
Powder burns indicated the gun
was fired at close range.
The other weapon was .25-
caliber pistol which police said
belonged to Mr.. Flowers. Inves-
tigators said this may have been
the same weapon Mr.. Flowers
used last February Is to kill DR..
Thomas H. Brewer, a Negro ply
stefan and local leader in the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
Mr. Flowers claimed self
defense in that shooting. which
took place in the Office of his
department store-just across
the street from the spot where
Mr.. Flowers was fatally wounded.
A grand jury refused to indict
him in the Brewer shooting.
THE fact that the .25-caliber
pistol had been fired and that
there was a trail of blood leading
away from the theater leads to
the conjecture that the bullet
might have wounded the assail-
ant" said Detective Whitley.
There were definite signs Of
g struggle" he added.

z Reurrested
In Khan Case

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. IL
R.-Two of the four men
charged with the shooting at a
Ku Klux Khan meeting here
January 9 were rearrested yes
terday on grand jury indict-
ments charging them with as
Sault with intent to murder.
Asa E. Carter, "a, head of one
of the many branches of pro-
segregation groups known as
Citizens Councils, and Harold
Mcbride, were those re-arrested.
The indictments were returned
Friday.
Carter had been free on $780,
900 bond on warrants issued by
city police. His bond was re-
duced to $4,000 under the grand
jury action. McBride's bond was
left unchanged at $4,000.
The two men were charged
with shooting Caldwell c..
Bridges and James P. Tillery at
a meeting of the robed oroer
in the Central Park Theater, ;
now leased as a headquarters
by Carter's Citizens Council.
Also charged by police with
the shootings were Louey Alvin
Curry and Ira N. Evans, both
free on $4,000 bonds.
The grand jury indicted each
of the four men on each Of the
two shootings and fixed bond
at $500 in each case. A court
official explained that Curry and
Evans had waived preliminary
hearing and therefore would not
be required to make new bonds.
Carter and Mcbride had not
waived the hearing and new
bonds were required for them.
A fifth person. Mrs. Mary Nell
Tatum, is free under $1,000
bond on charges of being an ac-
cessory after the fact IN the
shootings of Tillery and Bridges.
Her case is set for hearing in
the Court of Misdemeanors and
Felonies Thursday.
