RE: EUGENE THOMAS, ETAL.
'Jf~;1- -. ~ A1 e -
In this connection, it is noted that the subjects were released
on bond" by the U. S. Commissioner and a preliminary hearing has been
tentatively set for 4/15/65. The Department has indicated that a
Federal Grand Jury is tentatively scheduled for 4/5/ 65 which would
eliminate the necessity for a U. S. Commissioner's hearing which
would result in exposing the informant. The smte grand jury is
reportedly set for 4/19/65. .. .

Dear Mr. Hoover, .
of some of the American people we have in our country when I
heard of the death of Mrs. Liuzzo. I was born in Dallas County,
Alabama near Selma and now I'm ashamed oi being associated
with it. I greatly appuladed Mr. Johnsons attack on the Klu Klux
Klan because I lmow'tT§ are terrible people and I woulddo any-
thing I could to get them out of Alabama and the U. S. I would
greatly appreciate ii you could give me any advice on getting rid
oi the Klansmen. I also would like to tell you that I'm 100%
3 behind your actions for some day I hope being an F. B. I. agent.92 I was very much moved and upset and deeply ashamed
Sincerely yours,

oi the orginization as ireedon or speech and association,
rejection oi forced integration, preservation oi the Consti-

-.-...,_Dear Hr; Hoover: ' _
I have always been an outspoken supporter of the FBI. As long
you are it's head I am sure that I shall continue to be. May I
congratulate you and your men for the swift action taken in the
murder oi the civil rights worker from Detroit.
However, I am alarmed at certain aspects oi the case. These men
deserve a fair trial just as any other American citizen does. Tm
American judicial system remains vibrant only as long as it applequally to ell. One is truly innocent until proven quilty. But,]
I think that possibly the rights of these men to a fair trial has!
been violated. 1
It wou 1d have been appropriate for the President to have announc<
the arrest oi these men but it did not stop at that. Following tl
announcement of their arrest he noted they were members of the K1;
He then stated that the woman had been murdered by the enemies o1
freedom . He went on to denounce the KKK. By associating these n
with the Klan and then going on to strongly denounce the Klan the
President has in effect given rise to guilt by association. This
is e concept which should be outside of the law. Has not the Pres
whose pronouncements carry such tremendous weight, somewhat prejuc
thd bmerican public against these men? Can they receive a fair t1
I doubt lerioualy that they-can for the next few weeks if at any_ II abhor violence and this murder is an act of ruthless and unmit;
crime. I honestly hope that the person or persons responsible vi]
be quickly brought to the bar ot justice. However, when brought 1
I'trust they may receive the same rights under the law that others
receive.

_ Re my memo this morning instructing Inspector Sullivan at
Selma to present the facts of this case to Acting Assistant Attorney
General John Doar for immediate authority to get complaints and _ ,
warrants against the subjects. Inspector Sullivan advised at
10:40 a.n. that Acting Assistant Attorney General Doar was working -
on this and the U. S. Commissioner was standing by and our Agents
were standing by to sign the complaints. I told Sullivan to have
our stenographers help in Montgomery if it would speed things up.
1 ' At 12:08 p.m. Inspector Sullivan advised the complaints ;and warrants were ready. He will send in a teletype with the I.
//.wording.qf these documents for our information.
' At 12:06 p.n. I advised Inspector McGovern in Birmingham! 4 to go ahead with the arrests. At 12:25 p.m. Hr. McGovern advised
that all of the subjects were in custody. Wilkins was arrested'
at l1:07_a.m. in his car on highway ll which leads to Tuscaloosa,
Alabama. Thomas was arrested at Lorraine's Cafe at 11:08. Eaton
was arrested shortly thereafter at his residence on Route 6 in
Bessemer. The above times are Central Standard Time, one hour

and Agents will secure search warrants for the homes of Iilkins and
has-c
of the su e
fingerpri and processed at the Birmingham Offi
arraigned before U. 8. Commissioner-Louise Charlton.
At 12:45 p.n. McGovern was told to go ahead with the arraign-
ment as soon as the subjects were processed and he should checkwith Inspector Sullivan as to how much bond is recommended by Doar.
McGovern will advise the Bureau as soon as the subjects have been
arraigned. I told McGovern and asked him to relay to Inspector
