"The named defendants move to dismiss this indict-
ment for failure to state an offense against the laws of
the United States. The indictment is predicated upon 18
U.S.C.A. S241. The first paragraph of the indictment states
that Rainey was sheriff, Price was deputy sheriff and that
Willis was a police officer, each acting at all times under
""color of laws" of the State of Mississippi. The statute
mentions nothing about "color of law in the description of
the crime embraced therein. The indictment charges that
from January 1, 1964, to December 4, 1964, the named
.de£endants in the Southern District of Mississippi conspired
.to injure, oppress, threaten and intimidate Michael Henry

"not to be deprived of life or liberty without due process
of law by persons acting under color of the laws of
Mississippi. The third paragraph of the indictment
states that it was the plan and purpose of such conspiracy
that said victims would be released by said officials from
the county jail and that the individual defendants would
intercept said released prisoners and threaten, assault,
shoot and kill them. This entire offense is said to have
been committed in Neshoba County, State of Mississippi,
in violation of said S241.
This statute was designed and intended solely
for the protection of federally created rights, not for
any right merely guaranteed by the laws of the United
States. This is not a statute which makes murder a
federal crime under the facts and circumstances in this
case. The right of every person not to be deprived of his
life or liberty without due process of law is a right that
existed prior to the Federal Constitution. It is a right
which is protected by state laws and is merely guaranteed
by the Constitution of the United States.

"°is no more the duty or within the power of the United
States to punish for a conspiracy to falsely imprison or
murder within a State, than it would be to punish for
false imprisonment or murder itself.
The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits a State
from depriving any person of life, liberty or property,
without due process of law; but this adds nothing to
the rights of one citizen aszgainst another. It
simply furnishes an additional guaranty against any
encrcathment by the States upon the fundamental rights
which belcng t: every citizen as a member of society.

"'interpretation of the statute the indictment must fall,
the judgment of the court below is affirmed.
"The Congress has known of that decision now
for approximately fifteen years and has acquiesced
therein as a proper construction of S241.
"Here we have fourteen private individuals and
three officials as defendants. The defendants are not
charged with the violation of any right which was con-
ferred upon either of these victims by a federal law.
It is of no consequence, therefore, in law that some of-
the defendants were officials and that some of them were
merely private citizens in allegedly committing the
offense charged. The motion, like a demurer of old,
admits for the purpose of this hearing all matters and
things well pled in the indictment, but contends that
even so, they are not charged with an offense against
the United States. The authorities cited and found
upon independent research support the soundness of this
position. The indictment surely states a heinous crime
against the State of Mississippi, but not a crime 4
against the United States. This is a court of limited
jurisdiction. The United States has no common law.
Section 241 must be and is the sole and exclusive expon-
ent of the offense set forth in this indictment. The '
indictment simply does not charge either of these defen-
dants with any offense against the laws of the United
States. The motions to dismiss this indictment against
the named defendants will, therefore, be susdained.
"There are several other motions presented by
these defendants pursuant to a previous order of this
Gonrt, but action on such motions is unnecessary by
reason of the disposition of the foregoing motions.
Such other motions,therefore, may be withdrawn or will
be overruled. A judgment accordingly may be presented.

porting affidavits. That motion is without merit and

"2. The defendants move to dismiss the

because they were photographed and pictured through the

"said act. That is a crime against the United States
under S371. The second, third and fourth counts charge
that the official defendants willfully did things that
denied and deprived their alleged victims of federally
tteatéd rights. It is charged that the individual
defendants like wise participated in the offenses
charged in the second, third and fourth counts of the
irdiztment, but it is not charged as an ultimate fact
that they for either of them! did anything as an offi-
cial under color of any law, statute, ordinance,
regulation, or custom as S242 provides and as a violation
thereof would require. The indictment states that three
cf the defendants were acting as officers in all that
they did, but then does not state or indicate that any
cf the other individual defendants were officers in
fact, or defacto in anything allegedly done by them
under color of law.
"It is accordingly the view of this Court iat
the first count of this indictment is valid against all
defendants before the Court; that the second count is
valid against Rainey, Price and Willis but not against
the other defendants; that the third count is valid
against Rainey, Price and Willis but not against the
other defendants; and that the fourth count is valid '
against defendants Rainey, Price and Willis but not
the other defendants upon the authorities presently
cited.
"In Williams v. United States, SCA! 179 F.2d
£56, a private detective was indicted and convicted
under S242 for app1ying_third degree methods to a victim
while investigating a theft from a private concern. A
city policeman was present at the scene of the offense
and lent color of law to the event. The detective held
a card from the Director of Public Safety showing his

"detective, except under the direction of the Chief of
Police for a specified time. There was substantial
evidence that Williams impersonated an officer and acted
under color of law. He was found guilty of the charge
by a jury and his conviction was affirmed. The case was
appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States where
it was affirmed. The Supreme Court on appeal in Williams
_3L_:§i§ed States, 3&1 US 97; 71 S.Ct. 576, observed that
the indictment charged that petitioner acting under color
of law used force to make each victim confess to his guilt
and implicate others and that the victims were denied the
right to bi t*ied by due process of law and if found
guilty to be sentenced and punished in accordance with
the laws of that state. The Court quoted from Count 2
cf the indictment which charged violation of the Four-
teenth Amendment rights as follows: The right and
privilege not to be deprived of liberty without due
process of law, the right and privilege to be secure
in his person while in the custody of the State of '
Florida, the right and privilege not to be subjected to
punishment without due process of law, the right and
privilege to be immune while in the custody of persons
acting under color of the laws of the State of Florida,
from illegal assault and battery by any person exer-
cising the authority of said state, and the right and
privilege to be tried by due process of law and if found
guilty to be sentenced and punished in accordance with
the laws of the State of Florida. The trial judge ad-
monished the jury that the defendants were not here on
trial for a violation of any law of the State of Florida
for assault nor for assault under any laws of the
United States. The Supreme Court thus affirmed said
conviction and approved such application and use of S242
to those facts and circumstances. It is thus made crystal
clear that the defendants in this case who were officers
and were allegedly acting willfully under color of law
as charged in the indictment are vulnerable to the offense
charged in S242. To same effect is United States v. -
Jones, SCA! 207 F.2d 785. Likewise in Kcehler v. United
States, SCA! 189 F.2d 711, the Court affirmed a ¢on%£&J* Db

The district court dismissed the substantive

"of the description in the affidavit and warrant is void
but the description of the premises known as the "Gld Jolly
Farm under control of Olen Burrage in the north half of
Neshoba County in the Southern District of Mississippi is
sufficient for all purposes. The objects of the search
mere sufficiently stated. The affidavit of an FBI agent
sufficiently set forth grounds for probable cause which
were effectually adjudicated to exist by the issuance of
the subsequent warrant. gester v. United States, 265

to be searched as the Old Jolly Farm under control of
P?~r Barrage. This place consisted of two hundred fifty
acres. it had formerly been owned by Jolly and was the
only place of such kind in the county under control of
Burrage. The description of the premises to be searched
was sufficiently clear to enable an officer with reason-
able effort to ascertain and identify the place to be
searched. That is the rule and the test. The warrant
clearly stated that the search was for the bodies of
the three identified victims. This warrant was served
at 8:12 A.M., August 4, 1964, according to FBI agents
testimony supported by memoranda made at the same moment
as an official record. The Court believes from the evidence
that the government agents acted with full authority under
this warrant in doing all that was done on said date toward
searching for and discovering these bodies. This evidence
was not illegally obtained and the prccess therefor was
valid. This motion to suppress is without merit and will
be overruled.

"written statement of the essential facts constituting the
offense charged. It is not necessary to allege with tech-
nical precision all of the elements essential to the com- .
mission of the offense which is the object of the conspiracy.
In Egnggfai gi_§nited,State§,_47 S.Ct. 300, it is said: _'In
charging such a conspiracy certainty, to a common intent,
sufficient to identify the offense which the defendants
conspired to commit, it is all that is necessary. There
the defendants sought as here to discover the government:
evidence to which the Court said that the defendants were
not entitled. A defendant in a criminal case may not resort
to a motion for a bill of particulars as a discovery device.
Tr :£DLi£E_El fgitg§_9tate§, 321 F.2d 665, the Court in
this circuit said that it is not the office of a bill of
particulars to ascertain what offense is charged. In
gchnsonwy.,United_§tate§,_207 F.2d 314, the Court in this
circuit said: The government should not be compelled by
a bill of particulars to give a detailed disclosure of its
evidence, as would have been required by compliance with
the motion. The indictment here contains a sufficiently
definite written statement of the offense to enable the
defendants to properly and fairly present their defense
thereto. It is likewise sufficiently definite and clear to
forestall any possibility of double jeopardy. The motion is
without merit and will be overruled.-.... 4..-._.. .
"7. Numerous motions are presented by the defen-
dants for severance under Criminal Rule 14. Criminal Rule 8
authorizes the joinder of offenses and of defendants under
stated circumstances. -Criminal Rule 14 vests the Court
with a sound judicial discretion to grant such relief as may
be necessary in any case to assure a fair trial for each
defendant. Qpper_v.uQnited_States, 75 S.Ct. 158. Nothing
has been presented to the Court to convince it that a sever-
ance of any other defendants, other than Horace Doyle
Barnette who has already been severed from this proceeding,
is necessary in this case. But under the circumstances it
would appear to be fair and just that all of the defendants
