From staff sad wire reports
GREENSBORO Six Ku KIux
Klansmen and Nazis were" found not
guilty Monday of murder and rioting
charges stemming from a bloody
confrontation in which five Communist
Workers Party supporters were shot to
death cn Nov. 3, 1979.
An all-whiie jury of six men and six
women returned the verdicts at 5:12
p.m. Monday after seven days, of
deliberations.
.' Security was tight in the courtroom,
and Superior Court Judge James. M.
Long directed about a dozen police
officers to "arrest and remove anyone
who disrupts the reading of the verdict."
There were no outbursts.
"I'm very happy," defense attorney
Robert Cahoon said. Cahoon told
reporters he had never doubted that the
jury would find the men innocent after
the 23-week trial.
"To be very honest, I felt when I first
heard (defendant) Roland Wood's
statement that he was not guilty. I was
never uneasy. I always felt they would be
acquitted," Cahoon said.
"We do not condone the actions of
' the three groups," jury foremen Octavio
- : i
Mandulay told reporters. "We xegret
that this unfortunate thing happened in
our city."..
. The four Klansmcn and two Nazis
were charged with five counts each of
first-degree murder in the slayings cf the
five CWP supporters at a CWP
sponsored "Death to the Klan" rally.
They also were charged with felonious
rioting. The men pleaded not guilty to
all charges.
The jury could have returned verdicts
of guilty of first-degree murder, first
degree murder by premeditation and
deliberation, second-degree murder,
' voluntary manslaughter or not guilty.
The defendants in the case included
two Nazis, Jack Wilson Fowler, 27, and
Roland Wayne Wood, 35, both of
Winston-Salem. The Klan defendants
were Jerry Paul Smith, 33, df Maiden;
Coleman Blair Pridmore, 27, of
Lincolnton; Lawrence Gene Morgan,
23, of Lincolnton; and David Wayne
Matthews 24; of Newton.
The defendants left the courthouse
after the verdicts were returned and were
not available for comment.
Greensboro police reported that the
city was quiet as a steady rain fell early
Monday night, but the department was

Since the shootings, CWP m
have charged that the trial was a shorn
and refused to participate in the
proceedings. A spokesman for the group
said in a news conference after the
announcement of the verdict that the
trial's purpose was "to cover up a.. .U.S.
government conspiracy at the highest
level."
"The verdict was sealed when the jury
was picked," spokesman Kurt
Krumperman said. "The verdict gives
the green light to Hitler-like attacks on
the people of America. That was evident
when the handpicked, all white, Klan
loving jury was seated." .
Asked if he was advocating going
after Klansmcn and Nazis, Krumperman
said, "No. That's what the U.S.
government wants us to do so they can
put us in jail."
Eigne Waller, whose husband, James,
was one of those killed in the rally
shootings, said shortly after the Verdict
that she "was so outraged I could hardly
talk."
"We feel tremendous outre;?, and we
know that the American people feel
that, too," Waller said. "People are

The Panhellenic Council and sorority
presidents are planning to ask John Temple, vice

"We're asking for him (John Temple) to keep

Staff Writer ,. .
. Did you know that Tennessee Williams writes
poetry? Many people, even ardent Williams fans,
don't realize that the Southern playwright is also
a prolific poet.
This week, you can hear some of that poetry
presented in a dramatic revue by the Carolina
Union. This production is the first time Williams'
poetry has been given a dramatic frame.
"Most people who know his plays have no idea
he writes poems," said John Morrow, creator of
this-poetic cabaret. "He's always been sensitive
about it and he wants more attention given to
them."
Wii'iams' poetry, according to Morrow, has
the same texture and emotional urgency of his
prose. "Most of the poems are like a private
journal cf his impressions. In much cf his
playwriting the dialogue is very poetic in nature.
His poetry reads very much like his dialogue.
Some of it sounds like he was writing variations
cn a character. Some sound very much like
Blanche. All of it is very personal and
autobiographical." "
He described Williams' poetic style as wrought
with imagery.
Because of this inherent dramatic quality, the
poetry lends itself well to stage presentation,
Morrow said. He has designed an unconventional
revue to present the anthologies In th Winter of
Cities and Williams' most recent collection
Androgyncy, Mon Amor. The production moves
through the former to the latter work to capture a
sense of maturing within the sensibilities and
philosophies cf the piaywrightpoct.
Morrow and Archie Copeland, associate
director of the Student Union, have titled the
production Tennessee's Wcliz a cabaret based
cn poetry by Williams because cf the manner in
which Great HaU will be set and because cf the
interpolation cf musical settings cf thet poetry.
"We were in a quandary as to what to call it,"
admitted Copeland. "But it's a cabaret style cf
evening. The hall will be set with tables, beer nr. J
wine can be brought in, as opposed to the set.irg
cf a forma! theater." '
"The manner cf presentation is similar to a
revue, but the materiel is heavier then whet u-

coordination with the Chapel Thrill committee chairperson to
help with the communications between the review committee
and Student Government. The review committee also will
recommend ways fcr the number cf pre-concert ticket sales to
be increased. This would diminish the risk cf losses if it rained
cn the day cf the concert. The estimated loss for last year's
concert was $9,000.
"Bert Johnson, Chapel Thrill chalrpersen, must submit a
budget to the finance committee which will be di.-eur-ed,
revised and then passed on to the full council. The vote on the
budget will be the vote cn Chapel Thrill Jordan sal J.
