Ku Klux Klan Marchers Generate Four Arrests WILSON (AP)—Four people were arrested and 13 cars were damaged after spectators pelted Ku Klux Klan marchers with rocks during a rally, authorities said. “I think it was just a spontaneous thing,” said Wilson Police Lt. David Speight. “There were a lot of teenagers in the crowd. One person just decided to throw a rock and it just ballooned.” One local newspaper reporter, whose name was not available, was struck by a rock in the left shoulder, but he was not seriously hurt, Speight said. A nursing supervisor at Wilson Memorial Hospital said no one went to the hospital for treatment after the incident. Charles Weldon Vaughn, 30, of Henderson, and Glen L. Woodlief, 25, of Kittrell, who were marchers, were charged with carrying a concealed weapon, Speight said. Vaughn had a shotgun and Woodlief had a pistol, he said. Spectators Samuel Lee Holden and ■ Samuel Thomas Saunders, both of I Wilson, were charged with disorderly | conduct, Speight said. “We will use videotapes to see if we can identify some of the other people and there may be some other arrests forthcoming,” Speight said. About 25 to 30 Klan marchers walk ed down six city blocks starting at 4:30 p.m., Speight said. “There was a whole lot of heckling and that sort of thing” by some of the 800 to 1,000 spectators, he said. The group that sponsored the march was identified as the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Speight said. The rock throwing lasted about 15 minutes. “It was a sporadic type thing,” he said. 20% OFF I Sato 25.60 Reg. $32; 50 x 84" pr.
