PILOT — State police began
an investigation this week i^to
the dynamiting of a home which
had changed hands here recent
iy from a white to a Negro fami
ly.
The blast, which was touched
off early Sunday, damaged the
fM>w six-room—baiisp an exten-
sively that it was declared a to
tal loss early this week.
The house originally belonged
to John A. Madlin, 50 year old
white man. But when Medlin
defaulted iri his payments, the
house was sold at public auction
to Loft High, 64 old Negro of
Rt. 1, Zebulon.
Thp house was empty at the
time of the bombing, as High
and his family had planned to
move in on Wednesday,

Charges Against
3 are Reduced to
A Misdemeanor
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Char
ges agaimt three white men ar
rested in connection with in
vestigation of the bombing of a
church in which four girls were
killed were reduced to a mis
demeanor whose maximum pu
nishment is $100 fine and 80
days in jail.
Disclosure of’the move brought
sharp reaction from Negro lead
ers, who described the action as
as “sham on the part of law
agencies.”
The initial feeling was that
the trial of the men on mis
demeanor would prevent them
by action of the “double jeop
ardy" code from being tried an
more serious charges later.
However, usually reliable
.sources reported that the men
could be re-arrested and tried
on more serious charges if en
ough evidence were presented.
The trio, originally scheduled
Ifor trial on Wednesday, waf
put off until next Tuesday. Trial
will be held in Recorder’* Court.
There was no reason given for
ihe postponement.
The men were freed under
$300 bond each.
Mi-sdemeanor charges were fll
