result of a continuous in
vestigation by the
NAACP, of the heinous
murder of Harry T.
Moore and his wife, in
their rural home located
in Mims, Fla. on Christ
mas night, 1951, seems to
substantiate the news
man's reason for saying
to the FBI, “Don’t you
think you can get more
information from the
sheriffs office and staff
than you can get sifting
that sand in Moore’s
little orange grove?" It
