From an evaluation of the evidence received thusfar in this
investigation, the chance of successful prosecution in State or Federal
Court is very remote In view of this, the Bureau disapproves at this
time of the conferences you recommended with U S Attorney and
Solicitor for the 10th Judicial Circuit in Alabama.
This matter should receive continuous aggressive action C
all lnvestigati e avenues pursued in an effort to obtain sufficient e
prosecution can be secured
NOTE Birmingham suggests conferences with the U S Attorney
d the local solicitor in regards to prosecution of the DI1IIl6 susneciS
in this matter either in Federal or State Court. If tried in Federal
Court, it would be under Title 18 U S Code, Section 241 Civil Rights
Statute! and in local court the trial would be on a charge of murder The
only information received indicating the prime suspects are responsible
for the bombmg is information received from two informants concerning
L h___ isolated statements made by difference suspects which would mdicate
S their participation in e bombing It is not felt that we have
enough evidence to tertain a proseeution
