Witnesses To Slaying Won't Talk, p. 5
Description
"TUSKEGEE, Ala. – (ANP) – Threats and ruses were being employed in the little town of Tuskegee, investigators found last week, to prevent witnesses from testifying when the grand jury looks into the Fourth of July slaying of Walter Gunn by a deputy sheriff.
Eyewitnesses said that men posing as FBI officers had talked with them about the case. Others said that they were afraid to tell what they saw.
Civic-minded citizens have employed Atty. Arthur D. Shores of Birmingham to explore the possibilities of civic, criminal and impeachment action against both the sheriff and his deputy who allegedly did the shooting."
