Eaton died several months ago and, hence, cannot be triaed.
' In the trial of Thomas, Attorney General Flowers decided not to use
the testimony oi Thomas Rowe FBI informant! nor the testimony of Leroy Moton,
a Negro teenager who was riding with Mrs. Liuzzo when she was shot. Flowers
stated that several jurors in the previous trials had remarked that they did not _
believe Rowe's story because he had violated his Klan oath and Moton made an '
exceedingly poor witness. - ._ .we-'

. In your memorandum of November 3, 1966, to all_-
-~eUnited States Attorneys, you solicited information
regarding cases or investigations in the development '
of which wiretapping or electronic surveillance may _'
"have been used by investigating agents.- . - "
' I have no information that wiretapping or
electronic eavesdropping were used in developing _
evidence in any investigations or cases pending in
this Division. However, this Division has had several
complicated cases involving allegations of conspiracy '
by members of various Ku Klux Klan groups. Confidential
information from_various sources unknown to me was used
in developing the facts in several of these eases. In
considering court action, or further court action, in
these cases and matters I would like to have the assur-'
nee, and would like to be in a position to assure the
court, that no wiretapping or electronic surveillance
had been used in developing the facts. Y
' " The cases and matters which I refer to, the
defendants or subjects involved, and the attorneys
for the defendants, are as follows: _ - _P*~

Eugene Thomas and Collie Leroy Wilkins, were convicted and
] sentenced on civil rights charges and they are now serving their

1 New Orleans, Louisiana, their conviction was affirmed. The
Supreme Court has denied certiorari and all legal recourse to
their convictions has been exhausted. t - ,l

' Bureau is in receipt of letter from an attorney
representing Mr. Anthony Liuzzo, husband of Viola Liuzzo
who was shot and killed by Klansmen in Alabama oh 3/25/65.
State murder trialaresulted in mistrial and dismissal. Three
subjects convicted of civil rights charges in Federal Court
and two presently incarcerated one died!. According to
letter, Hr. Liucro reportedly received written reply from
Bureau re 52 items of personal effects of his wife items
not identified!. Bureau files and Mobile Office files '
office of origin in Civil Rights-case! contain no record of
such prior inquiry or reply to Mr. Liuzzo and Bureau never in
possession of this material as not of evidentiary value. Last
reported to be in possession of state authorities.
This was discussed with Civil Rights Division CRD!
Monica Gallagher, Assistant Section Chief, Criminal
advised SA McDonOugh she had received telephonic
inquiry last week from this attorney and she told him to put
request in writing and CRD would handle. It appears letter
may have been misdirected to Bureau instead of CRD; however,
it is felt we should respond to clear the record as it may
relate to Bureau and furnish copy of incoming andreply to
CRD for further handling as they may desire. - -andrniss
