% on Jury
Members of the 23-man Jury.
many of them farmers dressed
in blue overalls and khaki
shirts, smoked cigars and CT
garettes while the judge dis
cussed the racial crisis at Ole
Miss, climaxed by bloody riot
ing after Federal forces es-
corted Negro James H. Mere
dith on the campus.
In a related development in
New Orleans, Weliborn Jack,
a State Representative of
Louisiana, told a meeting of
the Citizens Council of Greater
New Orleans that he had met
persons in Mississippi who ARE
going to kill' Mr.. Meredith as
soon as there is q chance.
Mr.. Jack said he did not re-
ns amber the names of the per-
Sars.
"FBI men can come ask me-"
ne said. - don't know the
names. I know a lot of things
are going to happen and I'm
mart enough not to remem-
ser names"
Army Evidence Hit
In charging the grand jury,
sudge O'Barr read from a 21a-
page statement which he said
he had given much thought. He
Nrdered the jury to refuse evil
sence gathered by what he
sailed unlawful Army search
srs and said the Kennedy ad-
ainiStration is heading toward
= "totalitarian dictatorship"
The jury quickly returned four
indictments on other matters
and then apparently began
work on cases involving the de-
segregation of Ole Miss and
the deaths of Paul Guihard,
30-year-old French newsman,
and Ray Gunter, 23-year-old
Oxford jukebox repairman.
Senator George Yarbrough
was among the witnesses called
before the grand jury. Mr.. Var
brough. president pro tempore
of the Mississippi Senate, was
Gov. Ross Barnett's personal
spokesman during the Septem-
Der 80 riot.
Sheriff Joe Ford, who said
both State and Federal agents
had cooperated in Investigations
of the deaths, has called them
simple murder" The official
reports previously listed Mr..
Guihard's death as accidental.
Judge O'Barr, a native Mis-
sissippian, who graduated from
the Cumberland University Law
School at Lebanon, Tenn, but
also attended Ole Miss, at
tackled the search of students
rooms as a violation of every
constitutional provision known
to man."
POwer-Mad Men
He said the Constitution had
been "shorn of all meaning by
a diabolical political Supreme
Court made up of political
greedy old men who are not
qualified to serve as a Judge
of any court
This court, together with the
hungry, mad, ruthless, unGodly,
power-mad men who would
change this Government from
a democracy to a totalitarian
dictatorship have attempted to
crush the people of this State
through the excuse of UNFOLDING
and enforcing an unlawful
order that had not become
final"
