Meridian, Mississippi. 5- yup
On June 23, 1964, near the Bogue Chitto Creek on
Highway 21, approximately thirteen miles northeast of
Philadelphia, Mississippi, the 1963 Ford Fairlane Ranch
Wagon,which was last seen in the possession of the three
civil rights workers, was located in a completely burned
condition. Examination of the ranch wagon indicated that
the interior and exterior of the car, with the exception
of the left front fender and door along with a portion of the
hood and bumper, had been affected by flames and intense
heat of fire. A meticulous examination by Special Agents
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory revealed
that no human remains were in the debris which contained a
wristwatch, automobile keys and tools. A resident of the
area, T. HUDSON, stated he had traveled by the pkace where
the car was burned shortly after 1:00 AM, June 22, 196k,
and observed what apparently was the burning car. Flamesten to twelve feet high were noted, even burnini the bushes.

speed turn would require approximately 1O seconds to complete
from the tmne braking was begun at a speed of 65 miles per hour
until the car was turned around and started to move forward in
the opposite direction. 5;;
Taking into account the above detenmination and under
the following conditions: P
1. The car CHANEY was driving was traveling west
on Highway 16 and maintaining a constant speed
of 65 miles per hour into Philadelphia. The
speed estimate is based on observations of

1. In order to approach and clock the car CHANEY

ten minutes from the time he had passed us traveling
east, Price passed us again proceeding in a westerly i

Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman. Price'
smiled in our direction but there was no radio

this is a customary gesture for a driver upon
observing a marked patrol vehicle and did not
indicate that the speed was excessive.
"Shortly after this, the precise time being
uncertain, Price called on the radio stating he
was chasing a speeder and he requested assistance.
Wiggs and I proceeded toward Philade a in r
to this r est
Jhen I arrived upon the scene where Price r
had the Speeders in custody, I observed that the
occupants of the station wagon were engaged in
changing a tire on their vehicle.
"wiggs and I assisted Price in his activities
by participating in transporting the prisoners and
their vehicle to the Neshoba County Jail where Price
proposed to book them - James Chaney he was to charge

were to be held for investigation.

Price, which I have described above, I did not

and I parked on the city square in Philadelphia
and there met Inspector R. Maynard King, our
Commanding Officer. While we were talking to
Inspector King, Price joined us, discussed his
arrest briefly and at his request we made an
inquiry of the MHSP dispatcher in Meridian as to
the registered owner of the vehicle the three
arrested prisoners were driving. A short time
later the Meridian dispatcher responded to this
request for license check and by this time Price
had already departed. However, it was learned
through the radio transmissions that Price had
received the identifying data concerning the vehicle
through this radio transmission.
