madden at you.
BARNETT: Will they get an
idea we compromised this
thing? VIII the judges think
we settled this thing? They
won't be thinking we compro-
missed this case?
REX: You mean If he gets
in, that's what they are primar-
lily interested in.
BARNETT: General, hold just
a second here.
General, l am sorry to have to
keep you SO long but we will
get busy here and do our dead
level best to keep people -
there are two or three Pm wor-
ried about and I'll see them
personally.
REX: / will have our people
call = (pause). Governor, how
long would it take before you
check with these people?
About, | would
say 40 minutes.
REX: Call me then. | will hold
these people from leaving.
That will push it up to about
$50.
BARNETT: That will be all
right. i will call you right
back in 80 or 40 minutes.

BARNETT: General, Pm wor-
ried-I'm nervous, l tell you.
You don't realize what's going
on. There are several thousand
people in here in cars, trucks.
Several hundred are lined up
on the streets where they are
supposed to land. We don't
know these people.
REX: | had better send them
back.
BARNETT: There is liable to
be a hundred people killed
here. 1t would ruin all of US.
Please believe me. Talk to the
1t. Governor, he'll tell you.
REX: l just have to hear from
you, Governor.
BARNETT: There are dozens
and dozens of trucks loaded
with people. VIZ can't control
people like that. A lot of Peo-
pie are going to get killed. 1t
would be embarrassing to me.
REX: | don't know if it would
be embarrassing = that would
not be the feeling.
BARNETT: 1t would be bad
all over the nation.
REX. I'll send them back.
BARNETT: General, do that

consequent tomorrow.

that the man will not present

CONVERSATION BETWEEN RFK AND

BARNETT: General, / felt like
| ought to call you back. What
we talked about General, it is
something that l think this
thing ought to wait until you
send him back here. Why can't
you wait until Saturday morn
ing? Here's the thing about it.
We wan: the people to subside
a little bit.
RFK: l think the problem for
you, Governor, you will have
that court case tomorrow and
that's why your lawyers wanted
it done today.
BARNETT: Can't you pass
that case for awhile?
REX: They won't do that. You
can't do that now.
l think this case
ought to be put off. | am hon
est with you.
REX: | will call them back and
we won't do it.
BARNE1T: We better post
pone this thing and some of
the others will be in touch with
you about this thing. Let's not
have any misunderstanding.
We can't afford to have that.
At 5 o'clock it's getting pretty
dark down here.
REX: l think you are making a
mistake on it. l think the prob
lem on Saturday is going to be
much more difficult. l think it
is going to be much more diff
fcult and your situation before
the courts will be more difficult.
| think it is a great advantage
to do it today as your law
yers-
BARNETT: The people prob
ably will find it out.
RFK: There's not going to be
any mention of it from here.
BARNETT: Certainly not here.
Our conversations weren't
taken down here.
REX: You never had anything
that's come out of this Office
and | never said | talked to you
and | have never made one
statement about your or any
thing to do with Mississippi
so | think -
BARNETT: One man said,
you will all compromise in this
thing?'
REX: You are not compromis-
ing - you are standing right
up there. Your lawyers advised
you on this = your lawyer and
everybody else in order to rem
edy the situation for yourself
and get through this case in the
best possible fashion. Tomor-
row by the time the case starts
the situation changes COM
pletely. We're not going to
make any statement on this. |
am happy its gets resolved.
N - One man said
to me. you compromising this
thing?'
REX: Governor, we're coming
in at 5 o'clock and sending IS
marshals bringing their guns
and third, l am asking you
whether you will take the re-
sponsibility for law and order.
You said you would.
That's right. Gen.
eral, the 1t. Governor wants to
speak to you.
REX: Governor, as far as you're
concerned, there is not going
to be any statement out of
here and for your own sake
and the sake of your state, get
it resolved today. ! am happy
to have all the Marshals pull
their guns and force their way
in. It's better that way than
troopers running around.
Holmes County herald., 1963-10-31

Johnson: We are telling.
them to lay their clubs aside
and to leave their guns in their
automobiles. But it is necessary
to have all your people draw
their guns, not just one. Qnau-
dibIe) and anyone who shoots
at all to leave. We appreciate
what they have done so far and
90 back home and that there
would be no shooting under
any circumstances.
REX: The one problem
when we come down there rep
resenting the Federal Govern
ment and draw guns it's going
to disturb your people, under
Standably =
JOHNSON: AS much as it
would bother them if they just
drew one gun and $50 highway
patrolmen =
REX: If they all draw their
guns and they go into the uni
versity, thereafter, law and or
der will be preserved by your
people?
Johnson: We are going to
attempt to preserve it.
lRFK: They won't leave, will
they? What / want to be sure
is that it won't be left up to
our people.
Johnson: We can possibly
leave many people up here to-
day. We will do that.
REX: AS | understand from
Mr.. Watkins and from the
Governor, law and order will
be preserved by the local Peo-
pie. | don't anticipate a great
problem but | don't want an
angry crowd descending on
Oxford this evening. You'll be
sure?
JOHNSON: Yes.
REX: | don't care how you do
it just as long as you take that
responsibility. !.
JOHNSON: (Inaudible) all
be on this campus.
RFK: So I've got assurances
from the Governor that no
harm will come to Mr.. Mere
dith and the Marshals.
JOHNSON: Not as far as we're
concerned.
REX. We will do anything to
preserve law and order.
Johnson: We will do every
thing to preserve law and Or
der at all times.
RFK: AS long as | have the
Governors assurance and
yours.
Johnson: To the best of our
ability. | believe that we have
sufficient men to take care of it.
REX. Let me talk to the Gov
ernor again.
BARNETT: General?
REX: Governor, that's all |
wanted. That's the best thing in
the long run.
BARNETT: (Inaudible) There
won't be any violence. We will
control them if there are a few
there. The other day there were
several thousand at the state
office building and we didn't
have a bit of trouble.
REX: Just as long as it is lett
at the local level. They will be
there at 5 o'clock and draw
their guns.
BARNETT: We are going to
step aside if they do that.
REX: If there is any problem
YOU will call me?
BARNETT. | will General.

CONVERSATION BETWEEN RfK AND
GOVERNOR BARNETT, THURSDAY,

SEPT. II, 1852, AT 4:20 Pm.
General, we will
be here at S o'clock and l hope
they get here by that time. We
are going to put forth every
effort and / don't think there
will be any violence whatever.
RFK: Do you think we should
take the chance? / don't think
we should take the chance if
there is any question about it.
ARNETT:I don't think there
is any question about it. There
were a couple of fellows | was
worried about. We know them
so we'll we will get them
Strengthened out.
REX: Can you move the peo-
pie from the place they are
coming in!
BARNETT: I think it would
be bad psychologically to do
that. l think you ought to come
on as arranged. l think it would
be much better.
REX: Can you assurance be-
forehand to everybody that
they are coming and would abb
solutely want no violence? Is it
going to be a surprise to these
people when we pull our guns?
BARNETT: No, l will tell
them under any circumstances
will we have no violence. Not
any of them will be armed.
REX: Can / rely on you that
there wont be any violence!
ARNETT Yes, sir.
REX: l am taking a helluv'
chance. l am relying on you.
BARNETT: There won't be
any violence.
REX: The 1t. Governor agrees
on this too?
He agrees there

course, we can't guarantee ev'
erything.

you certainly don't expect us to

RFK: l just want to make

BARNETT: We will do our

REX: From our understanding
and my agreement with you law
and order would be preserved
by the State of Mississippi.
BARNETT: You mean after
he gets in we'll, as far as we
can.
REX. l understand. l don't
want to do anything but wanted
to be sure -
N You mean local
authorities!
REX: Whatever is necessary,
Governor. Whatever is neces-
sary to preserve law and order.
N But general, | de-
clare | don't think | could agree
to guarantee the man after he
gets in. When he gets in he is
one boy
RFK: / had better call it off.
Governor.
BARNETT:You want me to
call the National Guard or any
thing like that?
REX: | want to make sure law
and order is preserved. From
conversations with you tine
other times you said law and
order would be preserved.
BARNETT: As far as it can.
REX: That's all | ask.
BARNETT: As far as we can
with reasonable diligence.
REX Governor, all | want
from you is the same assurance
that you will do what is nee
essary to preserve law and
order.
BARNETT: General, wait a
minute here. The 1t. Cover
MOI has an idea here.
JOHNSON: General, our local
officers are here on the campus
and in the county and in the
city. They are the ones who
would be responsible here.
RFK:; My agreement and un-
Outstanding, 1t. Governor, IS
with the Governor and you. /
don't know them and from the
conversations with you, ! have
!. to look to you. / don't care
what arrangements you make
with the other people but l
have to be sure order is pre-
served by the local officials OF
by whom l don't care. But |
want to be sure with you.
JOHNSON: That is nothing
we can afford to do. When
talked with you before | told
YOU local law enforcement of.
fcials would be on hand to
keep the peace if it goes out
of hand. Then, of course, we
would come it.
REX: We had over a period oil
the last four or five days in con-
versations with the Governor
he always assured me law and
order will be preserved. Can J
have the same assurance!
Johnson: We do that every
where in our state.

your assurance | don't care how

going to have to use force and
we could tell our men just walk
back and do nothing. You need
to think this thing out, Gen.
eral.
REX: l was relying on what
Mr.. Watkins said and what
Others said but l think neither
one of us want to do it unless
there is assurance there won't
be any violence.
BARNETT: The 1t. Governor
is thoroughly convinced we
might be acting foolish here to
do it this afternoon.
REX: Ok, Governor. He
won't come.
BARNETT: You have not
broken your word to me l told
a lot of people-you have been
kind. l have legislature in ses-
sion right now and it's rough
on me. I'm driving 10 miles
- it's rough. You think it best
this Meredith matter -
REX: | don't know. You're 60
ing to court tomorrow.
BARNETT: That's contempt
against me. General, l am not
committing wrongdoing here.
/ wish you'd tell them to pass
for 80 days.
REX: l can't do that now, Gov
ernor. They said l should have
used force against you. They're
mad at me and mad at you. l
have seen in the papers that
they think we should have
answered the force you used.
They are not very pleased with
either one of us and are not
going to compromise in my
judgement. We going to have
a great problem tomorrow eve
ming by this time and that's
why l wanted to resolve it
today.
Just a minute,
General. You think this case is
going out the window if this
matter not settled?
REX: /. talked to your lawyer
about that. Went into it in
some detail. / have no control
over the court but l think it
would be a major step forward
if we could get Mr.. Meredith
in the university before they
hear that case tomorrow morn
ing.
BARNETT: General, if they
get me in Jail l will have to sit
up there. / hate to do that but
/ can do it.
REX. Sit up where?
BARNETT: Sit in Jail. I'm try
ing to uphold the laws
REX: If you can get this fellow
in the university this evening
a lot of our problems would be
resolved. Why does anyone
have to know this fellow is
coming there until / should call
you
BARNETT: We have had sew
eral hundred men
REX: Can't he come in a gate
and l call and say this CONVEX
sation has not taken place and
he is coming through such and
such a gate?
BARNETT: Yes
REX: Again there is a question
of law enforcement but | would
have to rely on you that law
enforcement would be pre-
served. l can't do that with 2P
men. / would have to rely on
you.
BARNETT: General, this thing
could be handled a lot better
if we wait a few more days on
the Meredith case. He is not
suffering. just a few days until
the case is settled.
REX: As your lawyer would
tell you, they brought all these
Judges from all over the coun-
try. The whole circuit is COM
ing to hear the case. That's the
difficulty.
All 9 judges.
REX: They are there tonight in
New Orleans. / can't tell them
to go home. l have no control
over this. This is the court.

CONVERSATION BETWEEN RFK AND
GOVERNOR BARNETT, THURSDAY.
SEPT. u, 1852 AT ESQ.
REX: Hello.
BARNETT: Hello General,
how are you?
REX: Fine, Governor, how are
you?
BARNETT: I need a little
sleep.
RFK: / just talked to Mr.. Wat
kins and we were going to
make this effort at 5 o'clock
this afternoon your time.
BARNETT: They will be here
about S o'clock our time!
REX. Is that satisfactory!
BARNETT: Yes, sir. That's all
right.
REX: / will send the Marshals
that 1 have available up there
in Memphis and / expect there
will be about IS or 80 of them
and they will come with Mr..
Meredith and they will arrive
wherever the gate is and | will
have the head Marshal pull a
gun and l will have the rest of
them have their hands on their
guns and their holsters. And
then as l understand it he will
go through and get in and you
Will make sure that law and
order is preserved and that no
harm will be done to Mr.. Nc
Shane and Mr.. Meredith.
mi Oh, yes.
REX: And then l think you
will see that's accomplished?
BARNETT: Mechanically
Hold just a minute, will you?
Hello, General, / was under
the impression that they were
all going to pull their guns.
This could be very embarrass-
ing. We got a big crowd here
and if one pulls his gun and we
all turn it would be very en-
b~arrassing. Isn't it possible to
have them all pull their guns?
RFK: / hate to have them all
draw their guns as | think it
could create harsh feelings.
Isn't it sufficient if l have one
man draw his gun and the 9TH
ers keep their hands on their
holsters?
BARNETT: They all must
draw their guns. Thief they
should point their guns at us
and then we could step aside.
This could be very embarras-
ing down here for US. 1t is nee
essary...
REX: If they all pull their guns
is that all
BARNETT: (Inaudible) :
will have them put their sticks
down before that happens. I'm
audible) There will be no
shooting.
REX: There will be no prob.
lem?
(Inaudible). Ev.
eryone pull your guns ane
point them and we will stane
aside and you will go righ'
through.
REX: You will make sure no
the Marshals but the State Pc
lice will preserve law and or
der?
BARNETT: There won't b.
any violence.
