statements by Thomas P. Murphy, one of the
state’s key witnesses, that he has received numerous
threatening phone calls and a death threat.
• statements by Dennis Speaks that he was afraid
to testify and that, because of the pressure applied
on him since word of his testimony was known, that
his wife has asked him for a divorce.
Tisdale also said that Little and Poteat
misrepresented themselves as attorneys when they
went to Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail to visit
Margaret Crawford, Hunt’s former girlfriend and
another of the state’s key witnesses.
The record of Little’s first visit to the Fulton
County Jail on March 1 to see Crawford identified
Little and Poteat as attorneys, along with Hunt’s
lawyers Gordon Jenkins and S. Mark Rabil. But
Little said he did not sign himself in; the jailer did.
A copy of a page from the jail’s register shows that
the entries in the register were made in the same
handwriting.
The second time he went to see Crawford, on
April 24, Little signed the jail register himself and
identified himself as a “friend.”
“There is not one shred of evidence to prove that
I did anything,” said Little. “They (the police
department and Tisdale) goofed and I made them
look bad. What you have here is a miscarriage of
justice.”

■£ McMillan, director of marketing for The
mitmentCo. Inc., and chairperson of the For
syth County Black Republican Council.
McMillan said the “goodies” for black
Democrats are so few. The decision-making, the
power in the Democratic Party, she said, is reserv
ed for whites.
McMillan and Mack both said that one of the
brightest spots in the meeting was Rex Harris’ in
sistence that, regardless of the party label, there
has to be a black agenda.
“Harris spoke on th; necessity of common
goals and common issues,” Mack said.
“We (blacks) have a responsibility to work
within both political structures,” said McMillan.
“The reality is to carry on within two processes at
the same time.
“We don’t need that ‘either-or’ mindset,” she
said. “We need to participate at whatever level
and (in) whatever format or activity that produces
results.”

• Witnesses in the case have testified that Hunt
and his best friend Sammy Mitchell have been
known as “The Blues Brothers” or “The Golddust
Twins.”
As Hunt entered the courtroom each day and as
he left during recesses and lunch breaks, he looked
for the man he calls “Sam” to establish eye contact
and to pass on messages he had written for him dur
ing the trial.

when a similar search committee
at North Carolina Central
University in Durham forwarded
him the names of two finalists.
Because of that uncertainty, said
John Davis, chairman of the
WSSU Search Committee, he
can’t say for sure when a new
chancellor for Winston-Salem
State will be named.
Pugh is the assistant to the
president of Georgia Southern
College in Statesboro, Ga.
Thompson is the vice president of
student services and programs for
the University of North Carolina
system’s General Administration.
Neither man has headed an in
stitution full time, although
Thompson served as interim
chancellor at North Carolina
A&T State University in
Greensboro from 1980-81, after
Dr. Lewis Dowdy resigned.
Neither man could be reached
for comment.
Pugh and Thompson were
selected from among four
finalists, including Dr. Dallas
Simmons, president of St. Paul’s
College in Lawrenceville, Va.,
and Dr. Carl Harris Marbury,
associate director of planning for
the Commission on Higher
Education in Alabama.
Sources close to the WSSU
search committee say Simmons
withdrew his name because he
felt that Thompson was Friday’s
first choice and because he is also
interested in the chancellorship of
NCCU, whose search for a
chancellor has resumed.
Simmons served as vice
chancellor for university relations
at NCCU before becoming presi
dent of St. Paul’s College five
years ago. Simmons could not be
reached for comment.
