Lynching Suspects
Are Hospitalized
‘ POPLARVILLE (UPI) — Two
men were hospitalized today fol
lowing FBI questioning in the
lynching of Negro Mack Charles
Parker, and a state official de
manded that Gov. J. P. Coleman
ask FBI agents to leave the state.
Crip Reyerf 42, was hospitalized
in Picayune with what his doctor
called a “nervous breakdown.”
Arthur Smith, about' 32, suffered
a stroke after long questioning
Saturday.
“I think that definitely the FBI
questioning put him in the hospit
al,” Dr. J. M. Howell said of Rpy
er. “Crip was completely off his
rocker when he was brought in.
It’s a dirty shame.”
He said Reyer’s wife also was
under medical care and he
“would not be surprised if she
did not have a breakdown too.”
Earlier, Reyer had told United
Press International that FBI
agents spent a day and a half ex
amining his car following reports
that a similar auto was used to
take Parker screaming from the
jail here April 25. •
In Jackson State Auditor Boyd
Golding demanded that Coleman
aak the agents to leave the state.
“Torture” Laid to FBI
“I never thought I would live
ers to come to the sovereign state
of Mississippi to harrass, brow
to witness the invitation of outsid
beat and torture people to the
brink of death,” Golding said in a
letter to Coleman.
“However, since you as gover
nor invited the FBI into the state,
1 think you owe to Mr. Arthur
Smith Jr., his family, the people
of Pearl River County and Mis
sissippi the -decency”- of asking the
FBI to clear out.

Upping Court
On Agenda
City Manager A. B. Uzzle, Jr.,
will ask state fire underwriters to
document the claim that two full
time firemen are required for the
town of Dunn.
A new discussion of this long
standing issue is slated at the
Thursday night meeting of the
town board.
Mayor George Franklin Blalock
made two suggestions to the city
manager in scheduling this dis
cussion. i
(1) Investigate the possibility of 1
having the two full-time firemen i
as combination policemen, as - I

(2) See what facts the under- j
writers could bring forward on j
better fire protection in towns of s
comparable size. t
Blalock said he felt the fires
defenses here "are about as good
■as they can get” and said he did
1’t know of a single fire where
laving two permanent firemen
■round would have made any dif
erence.
