Bateses IL. c. and Daisy, in an
harassing manner. will probably
remain a matter of speculation
since their action of arresting
three prominent Negro citizens
met unfayorably with the nations
headline hunters.
During period of approximate
~ two and one half hours CO to
II 800 Wednesday night. an un-
identified late model car, bearing
out-of-state license plates, accord
ing to 3 eye witnesses, eircled the
Bates home at least 10 times and
probably more. The number of
times varies according to the wit
nesses, but they all agree that
the presence of the car aroused
suspicion with out-of-state license
in the face of the many attacks
made on the house and occupants
by hcodlums.
Twenty four hours previous, the
house and occupants were targets
of flying bullets shot by a pass
ing car. The conflict between the
aiming of the gun and the speed
OF the car, left the home undam-
aged and the occupants unhurt.
But narrowly escaped small
child who was watching teleVi-
sion in neighboring home where
the bullet pierced the walls and
passed through the living room.
The occupants of the car that
was circling the house of the
Bateses in suspicious manner,
were said to be followed on sew
eral of the trips by late model
car described as a ford, also
arousing suspicion, later Identified

When Mr.. Thomas who had visit

Mr. Mullen noticed the car with

occupants, but since their action
left the impression of hoodlums,
he Immediately, asked DR.. G. p
Freeman, a next door neighbor,
who had just driven up, to drive
him to see if the men in the car
were out to harm Mr. Thomas.
Mr., Mullen said, he explained to
DR., Freeman, that their action
didn't appear if they meant any
good.

came upon the car several blocks
