evidence Piling Up Agninst Horry Officers In Federal Court
. —Λ · ; XIII» 1111/ r I-UUI ui courcroom IS lll(
4 Vie oi a historic trial that began yesterday moruing and whci
a final decision is reached, that verdict will determine the im
mediate future of Horry County Sheriff John Henry and eight ol
his deputies.
Facing charges of having beaten and mistreated four pris
oners, three Negro and one white, while acting under the color
of South Carolina law enforcement officers, is the basic issue,
The iinal verdict is expected to decide whether they were righl
or wroi«^ in their rlleged manhandling of the four prisoners. Tht
decisijn i-t least will be the thinking' of the 12-nian, all whiti
South Caiolina jury.
Specifically the charges facing the Horry officers is a five
count indictment that says they abused Cleo Patrick, Leonard
Ford ami Vernee Floyd, Negroes, and Bob Spivey, white. Onlj
Deputy Roy Hug^ins is charged in the Spivey ease. The indict
ment ι earls and charges that they were held "in violation of their
rights and privileges secured to them under the 14>h Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States." It further charges tha*
the plaintiffs were "deprived of their liberty without due process
of law; the right and privilege to be secure in their persons while
in the custody of anyone exercising the authority · t South Caro
lina )r j'cting under the color of the laws of South Carolina; the
rieht and privilege to be immune from force and violence by
ai^one exercising the authority of South Carolin ι or acting undei
color '>f I r»e laws for the purpose of obtaining information about
an alleged crime or crime suspect; .... and not :·> be subjected
to illegal punishment, force and violence by any person acting
under cclor of the laws of this State."
The Korry officers, who have been indicted by three differ
ent Federal Grand Juries, sat with their battery of defense at
torneys and Chief Council Henry H. Edens dramatically seated
the wives of the defendants in front of the jury Mondey afternoon
at 3:00.
Tho jury seating required nearly all of the Monday morning
stoSion with some members of the panel excused by the judge
for various reasons and the defense and prosecution excusing
others.
In addition to Edens, the Horry officers have employed At
torneys Reuben Long, George Keels, of Florence, and Henry
Harne-, e t Columbia. Long is the 12th district solicitor. Keels has
substituted for Long in the Horry County court and represented
Ku Klux Klans nun in the trials of a few years <>.go. Edens was
among the defense attorneys for other South Carolina law en
forcement officers charged with Federal crimes in recent years.
Witnesses appearing Monday and this morning were called
to testify regarding the case of Clio Patrick, owner and operator
of a place of business near Red Bluff that sold beer. The case
grew du', of an incident that occurrecf at his place on October 13,
1956, in which Deputy J. D. Stanley was attacked by unother
Negro Leonard Ford. Ford is now serving a term on the roads
for his attack.
Eleven wltnrvss*»« nn Μ««/»·»« "U!4~ 1 1
Negro. Two of the white men were special agents -v'th the U. b
Alcohol t.nd Tobacco Tax Division. The other white man was
Junior i'.ardoe. '-«· »
Only one Of the plantiffs, Cleo Patrick, took »he stand Mon
« #. H<> testified that he was struck in the face by deputies the
night of the incident at his place and later subjected to other
beatings while being held in the Horry County ja*!. He could not
identify the deputies who alleged abused him.
Patrick told the court today that Deputy Stanley came to his
place and instructed him to cut the piccolo down. Ί did what he
told ino to do and went behind the eounter to return the screw
driver. 1 saw Ford talking with Mr. Stanley. Later when I looked
around, ι saw Mr. Stanley on the floor and Ford kicked him. 1
ran against Ford and pushed him away from Mr. Stanley. Anoth
er ma.i helped me get Ford out of the place and I sent another
Iran liter Mr. Stanley's father. He came and too't Mr. Stanley
a «/ay," Patrick said.
Pitrick said deputies then came to his house and "sent Jesse
Wilson to tell me to come outside. They didn't give me any chance
to tell what happened. They struck me in the face and kicked me
and on the jail elevator struck me in the stomach.'
Wibcn, a Negro farmer in the Red Bluff se.-tion, identified [
Chalmers Small, Roy Huggins, James B. Smart and J. D. Stanley
as some of the deputies who were at Patrick's plac» the night of
the alleged unprovoked attack.
Sleigh Wilson, who farms with Deputy Stanley r father, said
he saw or.e of the deputies kick Patrick. Junior Jefferson and
J fiior Hardee testified to the same kicking offense and Hardee
said he saw Deputy Odell Floyd at Patrick's place. Hardee is a
relative of Stanley's
Joe Hichardson, the tenth witness, testified that he saw Small
strike Patrick an 1 identified Floyd and Smart as being present.
Spenal ATTD agents Owen Bain and W. L. Hutto said they
took statements from Patrick and relayed them to proper author
ities. The investigation of these cases was handled from that point
by the FBI.
Defense Attorney Edens asked the two agenis if they had
contacted W. Horace Carter, editor of The Loris Sentinel and The
T^or C';ty Tribune before they took statements from Patrick,
yigent Bain told Edens that he took the statement from Patrick
first. "I talked with Mr. Carter two or three times after then,"
Bain .laid
Atfent Hutto told Ellens, "I was told by my superiors to see
Mr. Carter. I did just that." Carter was the first to charge that
some members of the Horry sheriff's department were guilty of
misconduti.
The 12 white men selected for the jury w?re warned by Judge
Ashton Ü. Williams "not to talk with anyone about this case.
It is of wide interest in South Carolina. If anyon» approaches
you to discuss this case, let me know immediately."
■ Λ
Some of the Horry County deputies being tried in Federal Court in
Florence leave the court house at Monday's noon recess. Keluctant to have
their pictures taken, one deputy threatened the L#ris Sentinel Photographer
Bob Crawford if he "put that camera in my face.*' Photographers of daily
newspapers were also running into obstacles in their effort to photograph
the nine defendants.

In May, Nichols Police Chic
I/cGrand Odom a*vure out ι
warrant against Deputy Roj
(lugging charging him with reck'
lei^driving in the town of Nich<
ols. Magistrate Kern Gerak
tried to get the warrant aorvoc
by the Horry sheriff's depart'
ment without success for sever
al days but it was finally serve*
on May 18.
Following serving of the war·
rant, several members of ttM
Hc-rry sheriffs department tried
to get Odam to tike up" th<
C«
■as—·^
subjected to numerous pressures.
Huggins was eventually tried in
Marion and acquitted when
cronies testified Hoggins was
with them at a fish fry on the
night of the alleged incident
Odom said some of the persons
who testified to being with Hug
gins at the fish fry had tried to
gc*. him to take up the warrant
originally and at (hat time in
timated that Huge in; was in
! Nichols but emotionally upset,
ι On May 25, Federal officers
' grabbed two cars and 93 gallons
• of white whiskey on the Tabor
City-Pireway road. Wade C.
Fowler and Willie F. Tyler were
arrested at th· Urn·». A third car
• stopped by a road block that
night was eventually confiscated
and case· made against Dud
Gtainger and Charit« Holm« for
escorting the lond of liquor.
ι Grainger, Holmes and Fowler
were subsequently tried In Fad
erai court In Wilmington and
I The biggest single step of suc
cess occurred on June 3, when a
Federal Orand Jury in Columbia
returned true bills of indict
ments against John Henry and
eight deputies charging them
with violating the rights of pris
oners Leonard Ford and CUo
Patrick. These cases had been
investigated by the FBI and the
indictments charged k variety of
brutal and cruel acts alleged per
petrated on (he prisoners by the
members of the sheilffs depart
ment. The indictment* marked!
for the editor to "put up or shut
up"
Following on the heels of the
Federal Indictments, the Horry
County Orand Jury heard a
smattering of ine witnesses
against the sheriff* (ore· and
returned a no bill to the court.
The newspaper pointed out that
the action was expected and
followed the trend of the Colle
ton County Orand Jury that did
ine same thing orior to Federal
convictions of law enforcement
officers there in η whiskey con
spiracy.
An editorial in the June 12,
issue said this about the indict
ment of the officers by the Fed
eral Grand Jury cn charges of
beating prisoners," We think it
is important for the people of
Horry County to realize that
these indictments were mode by
fellow South Carolinians based
on the evidence presented. We
think they should h.ive full re
alization that thes? indictments
wtre not made by some foreign
body of people but Southerners
obviously interested in Justice
fairness and freedom."
In the seme issu·* was tSc story
in which Bob Spivey told the
Horry Court that his troubles
started with the law when he
stopped paying · $75 a week
payoff. H· said that he paid $75
> week to Lorta liquor store op
erator Frank Boyd foi protec
tion of his .llegal business andj
that Deputy Roy Huggins had
been in on the racKet A warrant
charging Spivey with perjury
was subsequently sarorn out and
the ease is still |>cn Jing. But on
a variety of other charges
brought against Spivey. he re
ceived stiff road sentences. The
convictions nave oil been ap
peaaled to the State Supreme
Court.
The June 19. Issu? carried the
headline, "It's who you arc.
where you are, 'hat decides
fate." An editorial said, "It is
rapidly becoming increasingly ι
clear that when iocal govern-,
mental unit« become the prey of
unscrupulous men. the only re-'
course left to eliminate this use
of public office for private—and
usually illegal—profit is our
federal government." It went on
to My, "Unices we can erase
tome of th« record of the past
•nd write one in the future that
Ii unsullied Mid beyond criti
ci>m. then we can have no one
to blame for iurt'.er saddling of
Federal authority on the South
but ourselves."
(>n the last day of June, ι
Sunday. South Cuiolina Tax
Commission agent cracked down
<>n six Horry establishments and
caught them red handed selling
beer on Sunday. Four were in
the Loris area. Thore were MO
cases of beer font floated and 30
pints of whiskey. T»-.e confiscat
H alcohol was later advertised
and sold at auction, a novelty in
Horry county.
Saturday following the raids
that caught the illegal bee
salesmen, Normfrti Smith an in
foimnnt who assisted the S. C.
Tax agents, was severely beaten
by Clyde Soles, ->ne of the beer
