plot to kill Jackson unveiled Thursday, May 19, 1988 Winstcm-Salem Qironkk Page A3 ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A member of a while supremacist group and jjjs wife are in jail on charges of conspiring to kill or harm Demo cratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson because they believed he was "getting too close to being president," the U.S. attorney's office said. Federal agents quoted Lon- {jell Williams, 30, of Washington, Mo., as saying he was a member of several white supremacist groups. But Tom Den Ouden, super visor of the FBI's office in Spring- field, Mo., said Wednesday he had done some checking into the cou ple's background and found no evi dence they were involved in well- Ijiown white supremacist groups such as The Order or the Covenant, Sword and Arm of the Lord. To the best of my knowl edge, these people have not been associated with The Order or the CSA,” Den Ouden said. The couple, arrested Friday, ' are being held without bond, said Jay Foushee of the Secret Service's St. Louis office. Foushee said the threats were made recently, but declined to provide any details. Williams' wife, Tammy, 26, was quoted as saying Jackson would be shot on June 12 or July 12. The case will be presented to a grand jury, assistant U.S. Attor ney David Rosen said Tuesday. Jackson, campaigning in California on Tuesday, was asked about the arrests. "I’m going to keep this campaign focused on the issues, making America better, and not be ... distracted by the dream- busters," he said. The Williamses were also accused in a criminal complaint with threatening a witness in the case and with possession of an unregistered firearm. According to the criminal complaint filed-in U.S. District Court, an unidentified person con tacted the Franklin County sheriffs office earlier this month, claiming that the Williamses were conspir ing to assassinate Jackson. The information was relayed to the Secret Service and agents met with the informant, who agreed to wear a hidden micro phone and meet again May 10 with Londell Williams, this time with law enforcement officials listening in, the complaint said. According to the complaint, Londell Williams said he was a member of The Order and other white supremacist groups, and that Jackson should be killed. The complaint said the informant later received a death threat from the Williamses for informing on them. At a hearing Tuesday, Secret Service agent J. Christopher Mur phy testified that the informant led sheriffs deputies to a wooded area in Franklin County where they found an AR-15 Colt semi-auto matic rifle and a bag the informant said belonged to the Williamses. The complaint said the bag contained a postcard addressed to Londell Williams and maps, one of which had his fingerprints. The rifle had been reported stolen from Springfield, Mo., according to the agent Murphy said that during the recorded conversation with the informant, Williams said he want ed to get the rifle back because it had been issued to him by the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord, a white supremacist group. Williams also said the orga nization wanted it returned because it had been used to kill a law enforcement officer, Murphy said. ^ !] I People believe if you are a The word "caricature" comes from the Italian cancare meaning "to load," and girl, don't whistle, or you caricatures can be seen as exaggerated, "overloaded" drawings, will grow a beard.
