Oliva: 06-09-2000 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GB/ CASE NUMBER: 11-0291-01-00 {Ref: Moores Ford Bridge Death Investigation} On Friday, June 02, 2000, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) received a directive from the State of Georgia, Governor Roy E. Barnes, concerning the initiation of an investigation in reference to the deaths of four African-American individuals that occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia. Allegedly, these four individuals were murdered by an unknown number of Caucasian males, whose identities were never confirmed. An investigation has been initiated accordingly. Assistant Special Agent In Charge Janet R. Oliva has assumed the responsibility of case manager, and Special Agents Michael W. Pearson and Jesse C. Maddox have been assigned to the investigation. Special Agent Terry J. Cooper, Crime Scene Specialist, and Intelligence Analyst Charbe Duncan will also provide assistance during the investigation. A copy of the investigative case file relating to the initial investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1946 has been provided to the GBI and has been reviewed accordingly. The Walton County district attorney, Alan Cook, has been contacted and advised of the governor's directive and the resulting investigation. The district attorney has agreed to review the investigation regarding potential prosecution. A search of any existing documentation relating to the 1946 FBI and/or state and local investigation was conducted at the Walton County Courthouse, and an original coroner's report describing the condition of the four deceased victims was located. The coroner's report contained a court order authorizing Dan Young, a mortician, to conduct autopsies of the four victims. GBI agents have met with Rogers Young, a relative of Dan Young, deceased, in regard to any existing documentation retained by Dan Young via the autopsies. Rogers Young recalled that photographs were obtained during the autopsies; however, he was unaware of their current location, but stated his intention in attempting to locate them or any other applicable documents retained by the Young family. A letter of request in regard to the location of any existing records prepared by the GBI and currently stored in the Department of Public Safety archives vault has been prepared and forwarded to the respective records custodian. Page 02 Memorandum December 11 th, 1998 At the time that Agent Malueg met with Agent Risen, Agent Risen had already put in a call to District Attorney Alan Cook. They had not yet tajked about this situation, so Agent Malueg suggested that Agent Risen go ahead and brief District Attorney Cook on this situation and inform him the FBI is requesting GBI assistance in this case. SAC Malueg is prepared to speak to District Attorney Cook regarding a request for investigation. Please advise me as soon as possible on how you wish to proceed. WJM~ 11-0291-01-00 Page 02 Memorandum December 11th, 1998 this "new witness". The Department of Justice had already been contacted by Representative Brooks and the "Moore's Ford Memorial Committee" and had been provided with a package of investigative information that they had assembled. Two [2] days ago Special Agent Risen interviewed the new witness who is a bedridden eighty-five year old black male who at the time of the murders was at the Moore's Ford location. The witness did not actually witness the murders but did see the commotion, hear the gunshots, and recognized several people who were in the mob. Agent Risen said the reason he is requesting the GBI to become involved in this investigation with him is that the Justice Department wants the "FBI to direct the investigation but to have it prosecuted at the state level". He explained that there might be a Statute of Limitations problem concerning this case, given the fact that it is a Civil Rights Violation and is not a murder case on the Federal Level. Because of the Statute of Limitations issue that has arisen in other cases the Justice Department would rather pursue these type of investigations on the State level. The investigative efforts in this investigation would primarily be of a covert nature. Agent Risen gave the following outline of possible undercover scenarios that could be used. 1. The new witness could meet with the two [2] surviving suspects and solicit undercover taped conversations from them. 2. Associates of the new witness could meet with the two [2] surviving suspects and solicit undercover taped conversations with them. 3. If number 1 and/ or number 2 above are not successful, Investigators could go directly to the two [2] remaining suspects and interview them concerning the murders. 11 - 0291-01 - 00 MEMORANDUM TO: Vernon M.

BYLINE: Peter Scott; STAFF WRITER BODY: The brutal lynching of two black couples at the Moores Ford Bridge in Walton County 51 years ago demonstrated such racial hatred it attracted national attention and presidential comments. Now, white and black residents in Walton and neighboring counties hope permanent memorials for the unsolved atrocity's victims will foster racial cooperation. Four blacks ---Roger Malcom, 24; his wife, Dorothy, 20; George Dorsey, 28; and his wife, Mae Murray, 23 ---were killed in the summer of 1946 at the edge of the Apalachee River in rural Walton County near the Oconee County line by an angry white mob. They were shot repeatedly, even after their bodies lay on the ground. The deaths sparked a national outcry, including comments from President Harry S. Truman. The bullet-ridden bodies of the four were put in unmarked graves, but a group of white people and black people who make up the Moores Ford Memorial Committee have launched a drive to put markers in place. "A monument or marker gives significance to their lives," said Phyllis Durham of Athens. Durham, who is among the residents of Walton , Oconee and Clarke counties who have attended two public meetings on the issue, had family members to die in the Holocaust. The public meetings have attracted local government leaders, among them the Oconee County Commission chairman, the Walton County Commission chairman, and the sheriffs of Oconee and Walton counties. "This was an unresolved racial atrocity, and those involved are still at large if they are alive," said Rich Rusk, a columnist for the Oconee Enterprise newspaper. Five years ago, Clinton Adams, now 61, came forward and said he witnessed the killings as a youth. He named some of those he saw, but most are dead. No one has been prosecuted. The four victims deserve to be memorialized, Rusk said. "George Dorsey was a veteran (of World War II), and he is entitled to the same military funeral, with honor guard, that my father (the late Secretary of State Dean Rusk) received when he died in December 1994, if his family members desire that," said Rusk. "We are trying to improve race relations," said Chris Culbreath, one of three blacks elected to the Monroe City Council. "We got stuck at Moores Ford Bridge, and it's time to build bridges to get us across through dialogue ," said Culbreath. Page 25 i - 0291-01-00 The crime was never solved. The victims were buried in unmarked graves. Now a group of Georgians, black and white, is trying to shed light on this too-long-ignored outrage and treat the remains of the four victims with dignity. This is not the reopening of an old wound. This is a treatment for a deep infection so as to speed racial healing. On July 25, 1946, a white landowner named bailed out a black farm worker named Roger Malcom, who had been in the Walton County jail in Monroe then set out to drive Malcom, on a charge of stabbing a white his wife, Dorothy, and the Malcoms' friends, George and Mae Murray Dorsey, to Harrison's farm. · On the way, at Moore's Ford Bridge over the Apalachee River, they encountered 20 or so armed whites who were angry about the stabbing of which Malcom was accused. They were also intent on putting Dorsey in his place. He was a decorated World War II veteran known to be unwilling to accept a civilian life of subservience. What ensued was an orgy of shooting that went on until the two couples were riddled with bullets. The killings caused a brief sensation: President Harry Truman ordered the FBI in, but the agency got no help from the locals, and its inquiry dried up. By chance, a 10-year-old named Clinton Adams witnessed the lynchings and 45 years later came forward to identify four of the killers, including but the FBI determined that all four were dead. The best justice that can be exacted from this sordid incident is to call attention to it in perpetuity, a reminder of the evil to which some people resort to assert "superiority." To that end, the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee, made up of residents from Walton, Oconee, Morgan and Athens/Clarke counties, intends to erect a historical marker and sponsor a scholarship program , art exhibits and reading materials for libraries. The committee wants first to locate the graves of all four victims so they can be properly memorialized . George Dorsey, for instance, deserves a military funeral. This Saturday, the group will sponsor an all-day cleanup effort and search for the grave sites at the Mount Perry Baptist Church cemetery on Price Mill Road in Morgan County.

Barnes watch: Richard Glanton's dramatic and stormy seven-year tenure as president of Philadelphia's Barnes Foundation has ended. Perhaps tiring of the friction his aggressive tactics created , the board replaced the Villa Rica native (now a Philadelphia lawyer) with Kenneth Sadler, a North Carolina dentist. In addition to battles with Barnes acolytes and the museum's neighbors, Glanton will be remembered for defying the late Albert Page 21 1l l~0291 = lJl -uo "It is our understanding that out of all the 4,700 recorded lynchings in this country, this is the first effort to memorialize the victims," said Rich Rusk, head of the Moores Ford Memorial Committee, a group composed of black and white residents in Oconee and Walton counties. He is the son of the late Secretary of State Dean Rusk. The lynching victims, all from the small city of Monroe, about 35 miles east of Atlanta, were Roger Malcom, 24, and his common-law wife, Dorothy, 20; and George Dorsey, 28, and his common-law wife, Mae Murray, 23. Artists from around the country are expected to join nationally known painter Benny Andrews in displaying artwork reflecting on the 1946 daylight lynching, an event that sparked such a national outcry that President Harry S. Truman decried it and dispatched 20 FBI agents to assist police in Monroe. Rusk and committee members have been working since last year to organize the exhibit. Now, the group has applied to President's Initiative on Race for recognition as a "Promising Practices" project aimed at improving race relations. The exhibit will be held today through April 12 at the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation Center in downtown Watkinsville, about 20 miles from where the massacre occurred. Several provocative works will be shown, including Andrews' "Rope Man" sculpture of a bust entangled in ropes, which will anchor the display. Nelson Baugh of North Carolina will display an oil painting of two couples first enjoying life and then a picture of them after their bodies were riddled with bullets. Another poignant piece of sculpture has been developed out of a can retrieved from the Moores Ford bridge where the couples were killed. An artist has placed a light inside of the can and the light from it projects into a work of art. Jane Ferris, exhibit director, said artists from throughout the country have worked on pieces expressly for the Watkinsville exhibit. As an artist, Andrews has a unique perspective of the lynching. He was a high school sophomore in nearby Madison when the killings took place. "What really shocked us was the killing of the two women. It was terribly frightening because we felt it could happen to anyone," said Andrews, who has paintings on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the High Museum in Atlanta. The murders were investigated for six months, but no one was arrested. Investigators said the case went unsolved because people in-Monroe who knew the 20 or so men who killed the two couples did not step forward to provide information. It was not until an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article in 1992 that an eyewitness, Clinton Adams, who , as a 10-year-old boy, said that he saw gunmen shoot the four. The FBI determined , however, that all of the people Clinton had named as suspects were all deceased. Page 20 11-0L91- 01-00 knew the identity of four of the murderers. FBI investigators subsequently determined that the four men named by Adams were dead. Saturday's memorial gave Monia Elder Dorsey, the mother of George and Dorothy Dorsey, a chance to join others in grieving. Monia Dorsey, now 94 and living in a retirement home in Athens, was unable to attend the burial of her children . "I'll be darned if we weren't going to make sure she would be here today," said Robert Howard of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and a member of the Memorial Committee. Roger Malcom Hayes, the son of murder victim Roger Malcom, was visibly shaken by the outpouring from the community. "I just really can't say it all. I have a heart like you . I don't want to cry up here, either," Hayes said, pointing to mistress of ceremonies Peggy Coleman, who began weeping earlier and admitted that she had lost a bet with committee members who said she couldn't hold it together throughout the event. Diane Adams of Roswell said the memorial was a starting point for people to come together. "The most important thing happening today is that a large group in a small community is focusing on their problems, taking a major stand toward unity and peace together," she said.

' Page 15 BYLINE: Peter Scott BODY: Brotherly love was evident Sunday at a memorial ceremony held to heal emotional wounds inflicted more than half a century ago when two young black couples were murdered in Walton County. When the killings occurred on July 25, 1946, the family and friends of the victims were so frightened that many did not attend the funerals in small church cemeteries in Morgan County, east of Atlanta. The dead were buried in unmarked graves and the crimes were never solved. Sunday afternoon, about 100 mourners, black and white, watched as a granite monument was unveiled for two of the four victims, George and Dorothy Dorsey Malcom, at the newly restored cemetery of the Mount Perry Baptist Church near Bostwick, said John Krieger, chairman of the Walton County Commission. The inscription on the monument reads, "May Your Suffering Be Redeemed In Brotherly Love." Mourners also laid flowers on newly installed markers for the other two victims at the Chestnut Grove Baptist Church Cemetery near Fairplay, where Roger Malcom is buried, and the old Zion Hill Cemetery near Monroe, where Mae Murray Dorsey's grave is located. All of the victims were in their 20s when they died. Clinton Adams, who witnessed the killings as a 10-year-old boy and came forward 45 years later to identify some of the by-then-dead killers, was among those attending with his wife and son. An emotional Adams was presented a resolution by Rep. Stancil (D-Bogart), passed unanimously by the Georgia House of Representatives, commending him for his "courage, honesty and willingness to pursue justice." The four were murdered in broad daylight by a gang of 15 or so unmasked white men who tied them to a tree and then used rifles, shotguns, pistols and a machine gun that left the bodies riddled with bullets and ripped to shreds. The killings, which occurred at the Moore's Ford bridge over the Appalachee River between Walton and Oconee counties, later came to be called the Moore's Ford lynching. Backers of the memorial effort have said the 52-year absence of gravestone markers gave the impression the incident never happened or that the lives of victims did not matter. "We can't bring back the dead or undo what happened in 1946, and we can't solve the racial problems of the country. What we can do is put a marker on their graves," said Richard Rusk of the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee. "People can read into what we are doing whatever they wish, but the one-word explanation is respect."

BYLINE: Rebecca McCarthy, Staff SOURCE: Constitution BODY: More than half a century after he was murdered by a mob and buried in an unmarked grave in rural Morgan County, World War II veteran George Dorsey received a full military funeral designed to honor all those who have served their country. "I felt it was something that needed to be done," said Lynn Camp, who, with veteran America Abbott, organized Monday's Memorial Day event. "When a person doesn't complete something, it tends to pass on, and this passed to me. I'm sure my godfather would be pleased to know that it was finished." Camp's godfather was Dan Young, who died in 1989. Young was the mortician in charge of the funeral of Dorsey and his sister, Dorothy Malcom. Along with Roger Malcom, Dorothy's husband, and Mae Murray Dorsey, George's wife, they were gunned down by 20 or so white men near Moore's Ford Bridge, between Walton and Oconee counties, on July 25, 1946. All four victims were young African-Americans. No one was ever charged with the murders, but the gruesome event help spark the beginnings of the civil rights movement. What followed were an FBI investigation; a presidential commission on race; support for anti-lynching legislation ; and the desegregation of the U.S. military. "My godfather was involved with the FBI and tried to see justice served," said Camp, a Monroe native now living in Lithonia. "It never was served. In doing this, in promoting something positive, a kind of poetic justice is coming out of this." Both Camp and Abbott are members of the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee, a biracial group of residents of primarily Walton, Oconee and nearby counties. The committee formed in 1997 with the goal of remembering the slain couples and of promoting racial harmony and healing. "Today we want to tell the victims' families that they are appreciated," said committee member Chris Culbreath, a Monroe city councilman. "Can you imagine the families not being able to talk about such an event? It will be 53 years in July since it happened, and there are people who won't even talk about it. They won't even whisper about it." One of those who did talk to the FBI --- and who was beaten for doing so --was Lamar Howard, who received a resolution from the Georgia House on Monday Stancil (D-Oconee County) . Stancil praised Howard from retired state Rep. for speaking out, adding "justice depends upon the courage of its citizens."

The cast-aluminum sign will be placed along U.S. Highway 78 next Sunday, the 53rd anniversary of lynchings. The four young people were killed by a gang of about 15 white men on July 25, 1946. The killings, at the Moore's Ford bridge over the Appalachee River between Walton and Oconee counties, later came to be called the Moore's Ford lynching. The victims were George Dorsey, 28, and his wife, Mae Murray, 23; and Roger Malcom, 24, and his wife, Dorothy, 20.

The killings represented the last mass lynching in the state and sparked local, state and national protests that included condemnation by President Truman. No one was ever prosecuted and the case remains unsolved. Prior to involvement by the memorial committee, the four slain blacks were buried in unmarked graves. "We feel passionately that a Moore's Ford historical marker will be a step toward racial reconciliation," said Elwood Beck, a University of Georgia sociology professor who spent 1O years writing and researching the book "A Festival of Violence: An Analysis of Southern Lynchings." The Moore's Ford marker is the third such sign in the nation, according to James W. Lowen, a senior researcher at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The other markers are in Mississippi, where three civil rights workers were killed in 1964, and in Tennessee, where the office of antilynching crusader Ida B.

Just a few days after the Tulsa Commission recommended restitution, some 200 academics and community leaders assembled in Helena, Ark., to search for details of a 1919 murder spree in Elaine, in which several dozen to several hundred blacks were killed. The origin of the Elaine riot is a subject of debate. Witnesses are dead , memories are dimmed, records are nonexistent. " There was a systematic purging of the historical record of the riot" in Tulsa and elsewhere, says collector Allen. Arkansans, therefore, will have to start from scratch. The issue of reparations The search for truth is also under way in Springfield, Mo., Sherman, Texas, and closer to home, in Athens, where the biracial Moore's Ford Memorial Committee labors to commemorate two black couples brutally lynched at Moore's Ford Bridge in Oconee County on July 25, 1946. A constant undercurrent to this unearthing of blood and pain is the issue of reparations. U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) has asked Congress to appropriate $ 8 million to establish a panel to study whether African- Americans should be compensated for slavery and the lynchings and mass murders that followed. Randall Robinson, president of TransAfrica, has written a new book favoring reparations, "The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks," arguing that restitution could also come in the form of uplift programs. A precedent for reparations was set when Congress authorized $ 1.8 billion in payments to Japanese-Americans interned during World War II. Many Americans are unsympathetic to the idea of cash payments, arguing that restitution has and continues to be made in the form of civil rights guarantees and billions of dollars in social-welfare programs. But Naomi Tutu believes some payback is essential, though it need not take a pecuniary form. "Saying you're sorry has to come with something," says Tutu. "ft doesn't necessarily have to come with money, but it has to come with some tangible thing that shows people that you're being contrite --- not to be politically expedient --- but that the contrition comes from somewhere deep within you." For Richard Rusk, secretary of the Moore's Ford committee, part of restitution is commemoration. His group held a military service for George Dorsey, who had arrived home from World War II just nine months before his lynching at Moore's Ford Bridge in Oconee County. "History like this tars an entire race of people, in my case the white race, " says Rusk. "Every American out there killed in this fashion ought to have a marker. This story's been well told in the history books and in documentary films. But the real work needs to be done --- and the memorials need to be held --- in the communities where these killings occurred , where the descendants of the victims and the killers live on."

GRAPHIC: Photo ELAINE, ARK. Page4 11 - 0~91 - Ul -O O 'A 21st century thing' South Africa has undergone a similar fact-finding mission through its Truth and Reconciliation Commission . "One of the fundamental issues of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was to say this is what was done, and to whites, this was what was done in your name," said Naomi Tutu, program coordinator of the Institute for Race Relations at Fisk University and daughter of former South African Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu. "I think that we are at a point globally, and it might be a 21st century thing, that people feel far enough removed from the real horrors of slavery and of violence against people of color that it feels a little bit safer to say 'Let's search our souls,'" says Tutu. James Allen , an Atlanta antiques collector, has also found Americans willing to peer into America's ugly racial past. His exhibit of some 60 photographs of lynchings, most of them picture postcards, attracted national attention and lured thousands to a small New York gallery. A book that includes 98 images of lynchings, "Without Sanctuary," went through two printings in its first six weeks on the shelves. And on March 15 his collection , usually housed at Emory University, moves to the New York Historical Society, with far more space and 40 additional images. "My greatest hope is that Americans will acquire a visual vocabulary of racial violence and include that in their discussions about contemporary issues, like racial profiling, the death sentence, the ratio of blacks on death row .. . and eventually there will be restitution paid to these families that were decimated by racial violence," says Allen. Rosewood, Fla., seems to have provided the catalyst for what Tutu terms " restorative justice." In 1994, the Florida Legislature accepted responsibility for failing to protect the victims of a mass murder that began New Year's Day 1923, when a white mob raged into the tiny town southwest of Gainesville, intent on avenging the rape of a white woman in neighboring Sumner. It was later learned the alleged victim, a married woman, had been having an affair with a railroad man, who may have beaten her. The mob burned every building in Rosewood except for the only white-owned home . A minimum of six blacks were killed --- possibly as many as 150. Accurate records of mass racial murders are virtually nonexistent. The Florida Legislature awarded $ 150,000 each to nine survivors and $ 500,000 to heirs of Rosewood property and created a$ 100,000 scholarship fund . Following Florida's lead, the Tulsa Race Riot Commission last month recommended reparations to heirs and survivors in what was possibly America's deadliest race riot. On May 30, 1921, 19-year-old shoeshiner Dick Rolland boarded an elevator in downtown Tulsa and, legend has it, brushed against Sarah Page, a white 17-year-old elevator operator. Page screamed, ran into a nearby clothing store and called police, who arrested Rolland. Page quickly labeled the whole affair a misunderstanding, and she refused to press charges against Rolland. But rumors of Rolland's lynching circulated, and a racial confrontation outside the courthouse turned into a conflagration. Within a day or so, Tulsa's storied black business community, once known as "Black Wall Street," was destroyed, and some 300 blacks were murdered. One Tulsan described the swift carnage as the town's "temper tantrum." The Oklahoma Legislature last week voted to extend the life of the riot Page 3 11-0291- 01 -00 --- even the victim could not positively identify him as the assailant --- he was sentenced to die. Abandoned by his court-appointed lawyers who feared for their own safety, Johnson's case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court by two black Georgia lawyers. A stay of execution was granted, angering the locals. A mob, aided by the local sheriff, spirited Johnson from his jail cell and headed for the bridge. As Johnson swayed from the end of a rope, bullets riveted his body, with one severing his noose. Still uncontent, a gunman approached Johnson's limp body after it crashed to the ground and fired five slugs into his skull. The young man's last words have survived the test of time. Two weeks ago, before a courtroom of whites and blacks and young children, a Chattanooga judge overturned Johnson's conviction. "The object was to bring in a black body, not necessarily the person who had committed the crime," declared Judge Douglas A. Meyers in reversing the ruling . "And I think that's what happened in this case. There was a rush to find somebody to convict and blame for this. " With its magnanimous, albeit century-old act of contrition, Chattanooga joins a growing list of other cities and small towns seeking to come clean with ugly instances of their racial pasts. From Arkansas to Oklahoma, Missouri to Florida, the nation is experiencing a mini-wave of localities facing up to brutal, violent acts of the past, with a few even offering compensation to victims and their heirs. Between 1882 and 1968, some 4,742 Americans were lynched, the overwhelming majority of them black, according to the Census Bureau. Race riots --- in New York and New Orleans in 1900, Atlanta in 1906 and many others --- took the lives of thousands more. Over a six-month period in 1919 alone, there were mass attacks on blacks in 25 towns in the South and Midwest. The reasons for rattling skeletons in these long-shut closets are varied. Sufficient time has elapsed so that fact-finding is more an historical purging of guilt than a search for culprits, most of whom are dead. African- Americans who grew up hearing stories of brutal lynchings and mass killings have gained political power and forced communities to confront their past. And older 'Americans are coming clean with their consciences instead of going to their graves with secrets that haunt them. Even corporate America is clearing its conscience. On Thursday, Aetna Inc. apologized for selling policies in the 1850s that reimbursed slave owners when their slaves died. "We express our deep regret over any participation at all in this deplorable practice," said Aetna spokesman Fred Laberge. "For us to go forward and race problems to be made right, I think we need to talk about these things and embrace them ," says Georgia Supreme Court Justice Leah Sears, who has asked that portraits be hung in the state Judicial Building of the black lawyers who helped Johnson. "The truth has to come out. Forgiveness and reconciliation really only come to pass once these things are examined, apologies are made --- in some cases even a proper payment is made, and I'm not talking about (reparations). I think all that has to happen for us to go forward as a people together. Maybe this is just the time for that to happen." It's a trend that seems to be of international scope, possibly brought on by a turn-of-the-millennium sense of contrition. Today, for instance, Pope John Paul II is expected to deliver an apology for centuries of sins committed by Roman Catholics in the Holocaust, the Inquisition, the Crusades and in wars against other Christians.

YOUNG was being interviewed to determine what information he could provide about the July 25, 1946 Moore's Ford lynching. YOUNG is a relative (cousin) of DAN YOUNG. DAN YOUNG was the owner of Young's Funeral Home in Monroe, Walton County, Georgia in 1946. According to the 1946 coroner's inquest of the four (4) victims of the Moore's Ford lynching, the victim's bodies were to be sent to Young 's Funeral Home for autopsies. Since the 1946 Moore's Ford lynching investigation, it is unknown at this time if autopsies were ever performed on the four (4) victims. However, there has been speculation that DAN YOUNG performed autopsies on the four (4) victims, as well as photographing and documenting the injuries sustained by the four ( 4) victims. AGENTS MADDOX, PEARSON, and BRINSON were attempting to obtain any information or documentation that may still be in the possession of the YOUNG family. YOUNG provided essentially the following information at this time: I have seen photographs of the four (4) victims of the Moore's Ford lynching. A reporter with the Atlanta Journal and Constitution had gone to DAN YOUNG'S wife (now deceased) and tried to obtain them. I do not know where those photographs are at this time. I will, however, try to locate them for you. I will also try to locate any information concerning the Moore's Ford lynching for 9 1102910100 1. D.

During the six (6) months m 1946 that we were conducting our investigation, I remember the GBI was also conducting an investigation. MAJOR BILL SPENCE was one of the GBI agents conducting the investigation. I never suspected the GBI had any involvement with the Moore's Ford lynching; nor did I suspect the GBI of tampering or hindering with the investigation causing it to result in a "No Bill" decision from a Federal Grand Jury. While we were conducting our investigation in Walton County, the local law enforcement appeared to resent us for being there. A rumored statement that the local sheriff had made during the investigation was that if we (the FBI) got out of town, we'd solve it. Although he may not have been sheriff at the time, DOC SORRELLS ran Walton county. The FBI was not threatened by the local citizens of Walton County, nor was the FBI threatened by local law enforcement. However, the local citizens of Walton County were very uncooperative and did not give the FBI the information that we needed to solve this case. At the time, Walton County was very sparsely populated and most of that was strictly agricultural. Although I feel that the local citizens were intimidated by our presence in Walton County, the FBI was never intimidated by the citizens of Walton County. 7 11-0291-01-00 141h, 1946. PRESIDENT TRUMAN also had a special interest in the case because one of the victims, GEORGE DORSEY, was a veteran of the United States Armed Services. I know that the FBI gathered physical evidence during the investigation. To the best of my knowledge, there were some ropes and spent shell casings gathered from the scene of the crime. I know that several of the spent shell casings were sent to FBI Headquarters in Virginia. I do not know whatever became of the spent shell casings that were sent there. I do not know if the ropes were sent to FBI Headquarters for analysis. I remember a statement being made from one of the local Walton County investigators. A question was asked to the investigator as to where the ropes used in the lynching were located. The reply from the local investigator was, "The rope is around the neck of that cow you see out in that field." I remember that several photographs were taken during the investigation. I do not know where those photographs are now. I am uncertain if an autopsy was ever performed on the victims. To the best of my knowledge, the graves of the four ( 4) victims were just recently found. An Assistant Attorney General from Washington, D. C. was sent to Georgia to present the case to a Federal Grand Jury. The Federal Grand Jury was held in Athens, Clarke County, Georgia. The Federal Grand Jury returned a "No Bill" decision concerning the investigation.

M., SPECIAL AGENT J. C. MADDOX, SPECIAL AGENT M. W. PEARSON, and Walton County District Attorney INVESTIGATOR MIKE BURKE interviewed GEORGE DILLARD at his residence, 4000 Brushy Fork Road in Loganville, Georgia. DILLARD is a retired Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent who worked on the Moore's Ford lynching investigation. The Moore's Ford lynching took place on July 25, 1946. DILLARD spent approximately six (6) months in Walton County, Georgia investigating the incident which took place at the Moore's Ford Bridge. DILLARD provided essentially the following information at this time: We (the FBI) were sent to Walton County, Georgia to investigate the Moore's Ford lynching approximately four (4) days after the incident occurred. Four ( 4) black individuals (two males and two females) had been shot to death near the Moore's Ford bridge in Walton County. To the best of my knowledge, PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN and FBI DIRECTOR JAMES EDGAR HOOVER sent approximately twenty-five (25) agents to investigate the incident. Two {2} full time secretaries were also sent to type the investigative summaries. PRESIDENT TRUMAN wanted the incident investigated as a civil rights violation (USC 242) because it appeared that the sheriff of Walton County had not provided adequate protection to one of the individuals slain in the Moore's Ford lynching. ROGER MALCOLM, a black male that was incarcerated prior to the incident, had been released from the Walton County Jail on what was thought to be a reduced bond. MALCOLM was incarcerated for stabbing BARNETT HESTER on July 5 Roger(s) Malcolm Dorothy Malcolm George Dorsey May Murray Dorsey Others: M 0 r IJ""'"I O' N 0 n \:-i [ i- ....· ,, q. .·:· .; 1! :~p~\,····li'.lZ"R:f~C'.~~-.:..~:~f 1'.;~\'··~Jt.~:.':,~~I ~~::.:~~ff•b11ttff~1 ~ ~STATE OF GEORGIA SUBPOENA FOR THE PRODUCTION OF EVIDENCE c ~·· ~,,, ~ WALTON COUNTY ~ TO: 1··.

TROST produced four (4) original documents filed by the county coroner of 1946 describing the cause of death to each of the four (4) victims in this case. A fifth document was included which contained a court order directing local mortician DAN YOUNG to conduct the autopsies of the four (4) victims.

When the killings occurred on July 25, 1946, the family and friends of the victims were so frightened that many did not attend the funerals in small church cemeteries in Morgan County, east of Atlanta. The dead were buried in unmarked graves and the crimes were never solved. Sunday afternoon, about 100 mourners, black and white, watched as a granite monument was unveiled for two of the four victims, George and Dorothy Dorsey Malcom, at the newly · restored cemetery of the Mount Perry Baptist Church near Bostwick, said John Krieger, chairman of the Walton County Commission. The inscription on the monument reads, "May Your Suffering Be Redeemed In Brotherly Love." Mourners also laid flowers on newly installed markers for the other two victims at the Chestnut Grove Baptist Church Cemetery near Fairplay, where Roger Malcom is buried, and the old Zion Hill Cemetery near Monroe, where Mae Murray Dorsey's grave is located. All of the victims were in their 20s when they died. Clinton Adams, who witnessed the killings as a 10-year-old boy and came forward 45 years later to identify some of the' by-thendead killers, was among those attending with his wife and son. An emotional Adams was presented a resolution by Rep. Stancil (D-Bogart), passed unanimously by the Georgia House of Representatives, commending him for his "courage, honesty and willingness to pursue justice." The four were murdered in broad daylight by a gang of 15 or so unmasked white men who tied them to a tree and then used rifles, shotguns, pistols and a machine gun that left the bodies riddled with bullets and ripped to shreds. The killings, which occurred at the Moore's Ford bridge over the Appalachee River between Walton and Oconee counties, later came to be called the Moore's Ford lynching. Backers of the memorial effort have said the 52-year absence of gravestone markers gave the impression the incident never happened or that the lives of victims did not matter. "We can't bring back the dead or undo what happened in 1946, and we can't solve the racial problems of the country. What we can do is put a marker on their graves," said Richard Rusk of the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee. "People can read into what we . are doing whatever they wish, but the one-word explanation is respect." 11 -0 291 - 01 - 00 /lj{vJ S Utt ~,·c.· ~lovv Qp.1'5ry Gtitf.,V,l J::=A J=.i 0 ' (\) ...0 ._, WILLIAM E.

Judge Sorrells believes Walton County has overcome the racial stigma resulting from the crimes. He characterizes race relations today in this county that is 18 percent black as "excellent ." He notes that a prominent member of the school board is black and that blacks and whites mix well together in basketball games at the recreation center. Judge Sorrells's office sits on the second floor of the brick county courthouse in the center of Monroe. It is a remarkably handsome building, and one of his passions is to restore it to how it looked decades ago . In the judge ' s chambers , pictures of Doc Sorrells are prominently displayed. He is passionate on the subject of his father , who, he says, was widely revered and who " took a long time forgiving the FBI for taking that investigation away from him." He says his father "always thought it was a liquor feud " that led to the killings. "He never relayed any names to me but did maintain the slayings were not racially motivated ." The judge says he had never heard of Mr. Adams before he went to the FBI . He says he does not believe the statements Mr. Adams made about his father , and doubts whether he actually witnessed the killings. The judge cannot fathom why the FBI would be at all i nterested in reexamini ng the case, as badly as he says they botched the investigation the first time. "I don't know why they do t his," he says. "If all it ' s going to do is stir up old memories, it can ' t do anything but hurt folks. "Who wants to talk about Nagasaki and Hiroshima? Who wants to talk about Dachau?" he asks , then pauses. "Well, probably those things need to be kept ali ve, but this thing, I don ' t see anything positive to come fr om it."

The incident has become myth. Some blacks insist the bodies were mutilated, that Dorothy Malcom's baby was rescued from the womb and raised in Atlanta, or that Eugene Talmadge helped arrange the killings . In the black comunity, the void left by the lack of any prosecution often has been filled with invented justice. A common story in some Walton communities is that one of those believed to have been part of the mob was in a nursing home, haunted by the killings , and screamed in his sleep s hortly before he died: "Get them niggers off me." Despite the passing of 46 years, many blacks who live today in Walton County, as well as some who grew up there and moved away, still are fearful about discussing Moore's Ford. Sidney Clark is a black veteran of World War II who still lives in Monroe. Blacks didn't talk about what they knew of the crimes , he says, because they had little expectation that justice would come of it . "Everybody was keeping their mouths shut. The Jim Crow laws were in effect then, and they worked good," he says. "I never thought nobody would care enough about that day to ask about it." Roger Malcom ' s aunt , Georgia Elder , understands that feeling. When a reporter approached her with questions about Moore ' s Ford, her immediate response was, "Where have you been all these years? " Some who did speak up paid a significant price. Lamar Howard, a young black worker at the Monroe Ice Plant in 1946, was brutally beaten after appearing before the federal grand jury . He later moved to Atlanta and changed his name . While he was willing to answer some questions about the incident recently, he was insistent that his address not be revealed and that his photograph not be taken . Among whites, questions about Moore's Ford stir equally strong feeli ngs. "Why in heck couldn't they have just crossed t hat bridge?

Authorities said the route he chose was the longest way home, along a winding dirt road. In account of what happened next, he assumed the role of helpless witness. When he reached the bridge at Moore's Ford, he told authorities , a car blocked his passage. A mob of 20 to 25 men, unmasked and armed , stopped him and held him at g unpoint. He said a big man in a double-breasted suit gave the orders. He said he could not identify any member of the mob, nor offer much in the way of useful descriptions . He could not explain to authorities how the mob might know that he would take this way home, or that he would have t he accused man with him.

Two days after t he arrest , a group of men reportedly gathered in an area just south of Monroe called Towler ' s Woods . Monroe Police Chief Ben Dickerson later tol d the FBI he had heard that the men discussed getting Malcom out of jail , presumably to lynch him . He said he informed t he s he r iff's department of what he had heard. Malcom's estranged wife, Mattie Louise Campbell, who lives i n Monroe , says she remembers how Malcom hol l ered out the window at the jail: "I ain 't gonna get out of this, they ' re gonna ki l l me ." On July 17 , a campaign for governor that had been r ich in the rhetoric of racial politics was turned over to the voters. Eugene Talmadge won the Democratic primary. He did not receive the most popular votes, but he had the broadest support under the county unit system that was then in force. That system gave rural counties disproportionate power in statewide e l ections. Tal madge did not carry Monroe, but Walton County gave him a 78-vote majority. In some rural d i stricts , no black residents voted. On Thursday, July 25, 11 days after the stabbing , boy drove to the house of Jim and Moena Williams, Dor othy Malcom ' s parents. It was about noon . They had asked him before about getting Malcom out of jail and having him come but he had declined. This time, he agreed to talk to Malcom, work for according to FBI reports . A short while later, headed for Monroe . Riding wit h him we re Dorothy Mal com a nd George a nd Mae Murray Dorsey . At t he county jail, met with Malcom; he later told a ut horities t hat it wasn' t until then that he decided to sign a $ 600 bond . Before completing arrangements, he said, he had to tend to s ome business . He told the Dorseys and Dorothy Malcom to meet him at t he county courthouse about 5 p.m . After stopping at a service station , went to several stores a nd the Monroe I ce Plant.

There the crowd shot to death two black men and two black women because the men were deemed to have violated the prevailing system of white supremacy and the women just had the bad luck to be accompanying them. The crime was never solved . The victims were buried in unmarked graves. Now a group of Georgians, black and white, is trying to shed light on this too-long-ignored outrage and treat the remains of the four victims with dignity . This is not the reopening of an old wound. This is a treatment for a deep infection so as to speed racial healing. On July 25, 1946, a white landowner named bailed out a black farm worker named Roger Malcom, who had been in the Walton County jail in Monroe then set out to drive Malcom, on a charge of stabbing a white his wife, Dorothy, and the Malcoms' friends, George and Mae Murray Dorsey, to Harrison's farm. On the way, at Moore's Ford 20 or so armed whites who were accused. They were also intent decorated World War II veteran of subse~vience. Bridge over the Apalachee River , they encountered angry about the stabbing of which Malcom was on putting Dorsey in his place. He was a known to be unwilling to accept a civilian life What ensued was an orgy of shooting that went on until the two couples were riddled with bullets. The killings caused a brief sensation: President Harry Truman ordered the FBI in, but the agency got no help from the locals, and its inquiry dried up. By chance, a 10-year- old named Clinton Adams witnessed the lynchings and 45 years later came forward to identify four of the killers, including but the FBI determined that all four were dead . The best justice that can be exacted from this sordid incident is to call attention to it in perpetuity, a reminder of the evil to which some people resort to assert "superiority. " To that end, the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee, made up of residents from Walton , Oconee, Morgan and Athens/Clarke counties, intends to erect a historical marker and sponsor a scholarship program, art exhibits and reading materials for libraries. The committee wants first to locate the graves of all four victims so they can be properly memorialized. George Dorsey, for instance, deserves a military funeral. This Saturday, the group will sponsor an all-day cleanup effort and search for the grave sites at the Mount Perry Baptis t Churc h cemetery on Price 11 -029 1 -01- 00 PAGE 7 16TH STORY of Level 1 pr in, • in FULL format.

" The memori alization will serve as a remi nder of what it is that we struggle to over come," said Michael Hill, president of t he National Association for the Advancement of Colored People c hapter , in a speech before about 30 people at a Monroe church. "It will serve as a testimony, a declar ation of the insistence of Afri can Americans in Wal ton County to be recognized as human beings." He linked t he lynchings, which he called "a t r avesty of humanity" to current issues. "Progress has been ma de" i n civil r i g hts since 1946, he said, but Mr. Hill also asserted that blacks are "severely underre present e d in Walton County government." He crit i cized city voting laws and said too few black teachers and administrators wer e employed in the school system. Courthouse site urged After his s peech, some member s called f o r the memorial to be placed on the Walton County Courthouse lawn in Monroe, where there are memorials to the Confederate dead and to veterans of foreign wars. The c hapter formed two committees , one to work out the details of the memorial and another to find the unmarked graves of t he victims buried in Walton a nd Morgan cemeteries . The memorial proposal follows an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article May 31 on t he unsolved killings. I n J uly 1946, two black couples, George and Mae Murray Dorsey, and Roger and Dorothy Malcom, were brutally slai n by a mob of white gunmen at Moore ' s Ford along t he Apalachee River. In t he Jour nal -Constitution article , former Walton resident Clinton Adams said he saw the lynchings , and named four local me n as members of the mob. Mr. Adams ' s statements to the FBI sparked a recent invest i gation, but authorities determined the four men he na med are dead. 11 - 0291 - 01 - 00 1994 The Atlanta Journal and Const. ~ion , September 11, 1994 PAGE 6 So I hung up, suckered again.

So did the "Columbians ," a nee-Nazi cult . The Talmadge forces, intent on undoing Arnall ' s finest accomplishments , seized the governorship in a semi- comic coup in 1947. Arnall had been talked about as a running mate for Harry Truman. Instead, he vanished from politics. Years would pass and new leaders would emerge before the racial promise of Atlanta's immediate postwar period began to be realized. This story of struggle and disappointment raises a thought that Egerton ' s . essay on the ' 40s has no reason to get into. Twenty years after the war, and after the civil rights movement did grow strong , it, too, raised hopes of sweepi ng progress. Yet despite advances in law, political i nfluence and the incomes of millions, the civil rights movement , too, "couldn ' t do e nough" to press the nation onward toward racial equality on a grand social scale. Joblessness, drugs, kids with guns, missing fathers: National sicknesses like these have replaced the old Southern problem of unequal protection of the law . Urban decay, hopelessly uneducated teenagers, new racial ideologies - where is the promise for our times? Ambushed I got a message Tuesday to call Sean (pronounced shawn) Hannity. A few years ago I returned a call from this talk-show talker only to learn that all he wanted was to argue with me over the air . I had zero interest (too much shouting ) and haven ' t called him since. This time I guessed he was calling about a column I did on Rush Limbaugh. It said, correctly, that Limbaugh ' s supposedly swelling national audience has, in fact, shrunk a bit. I soon learned to my embarrassment that Atlanta is not one of the radio markets where Limbaugh' s audience has declined. He dropped on WGST- AM - as I wrote after talking with Arbitron about all this - but he regained the loss on WGST-fM. So he's up in Atlanta. My mistake . As Limbaugh's producer told me, however, his total national audience is down somewhat. No one is sure just why . Anyway, I still have no interest in trying to outtalk Hannity's rudeness, fake laughter, vulgar language, ruthless mispronunciation (my name is pronounced KAH-lin), etc ., so I declined to phone him. A few minutes later, though, I got a message to call "Eric" at Hannity's station. So I phoned, asked for "Eric," got put on hold - and bingo! I was on the air and Hannity was calling me a miserable hack. 11-0291-01-00 PAGE llTH STORY of Level 1 pri n ~ 4 in FULL format.

Eger ton makes the city of 50 years ago sound edgier than I ' d realized. It was poised for progress , not least in t he area of civil rights. People like Ralph McGill and Mar tin Luther King Sr., Grace Hamilton and Benjamin Mays, Mayor William B. Hartsfield and Governor Ellis Arnall felt at times that a newly tolerant South was emerging at last . And yet ultimately even these prominent white and black Atlantans " couldn ' t do enough," Egerton writes, " . . . to move the South in a new direction." On race, the moment wasn' t ripe. And by the late ' 40s t he forces of fear a nd bigotry wer e back on top. The tension must ha ve been something. On t he one hand, a terribl e war was over. New civilian jobs were appearing - and air conditioning was coming to town! Fifty planes a day landed i n Atlanta, "with twice that many daily trains and fou r times as many buses." Gov. Arnall was famous for " his aggressive pursuit of right -wi ng terrorists" (among other accomplishments) and i n 1948 thousands of blacks Georgians voted for the first time. But the reaction couldn' t have been nastier. A wave of l ynchi ngs crossed t he Sout h, a nd in 1946 four young blacks in Walton County, 30 miles east of Atlanta, were murdered "i n broad daylight by two dozen men ." I t t urned out that "no one - not the governor, the state attor ney general , the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, undercover agents, local prosecutors and grand juries, the U.S. attorney general, the FBI, or the president of t he United States - could get enough hard evidence to char ge a singl e soul The Klan resurfaced with as many as 20,000 Georgi a followers, and in October 1945 they burned a huge cross on Stone Mountain.

I wondered if he really was a dirty- necked coward, as my father had suggested , but he appeared all right to me. Later I was given a little leather portmanteau by Ralph McGill, who told me it had belonged to Evans, had been, in fact, what he peddled his sheets from. It doesn ' t look like much now. Years in the bas ement have taken their toll but the Atlanta History Center hasn ' t asked for it either. I don't suppose they want such a shameful artifact from our city's shameful past. For those of you who don't remember the Walton County killing either , it will be worthwhile to look it up in John Egerton's book. Four people, two women and two men , were shot repeatedly by a mob near Moore's Ford on the Oconee River for no reason except that the father had come back from the Army "biggesty acting." A man, who was 10 years old at the time and witnessed the massacre from a hiding place in the bushes, came back to Atlanta when he was older and in failing health, and to "get it off" his conscience, described the shooting to the FBI and The Atlanta Constitution.

Martin Luther King Jr. slightly . I talked to him when he sent my 15- year- old daughter home from Montgomery when she had run away from home to join t he freedom riders. He laughed when I called him and told him she was skipping summer school , where she was supposedly making up history class. "She needs to be learning history, not making it," I wailed . And he laughed and put her on a plane for Atlanta with one of his aides to take care of her. But he may not have agreed with what I said about history . Hundreds of his own people, young and old, were dying because they were trying to change the history of their race . The terrible thing is that so many of us knew about the injustices and were willing to live with them . John Egerton in his fine book, "Speak Now Against the Day, " quoted two classic lines about a horrendous Walton County lynching in 1946 - lines that were familiar to a lot of us. "No one was ever charged with the crime and no case was made against any suspects, " he wrote . And then : " The best people in town won ' t talk about this ," complained the head of the GBI .

Until the civil rights movement really caught momentum, I don 't remember even hearing about a lynchi ng , although we certainly knew t hey happened. We saw the Ku Klux Klan i n action ; occasionally we would hear about some close black friend who had run afoul of the sheeted mob and been cruelly beaten . But mostly we heard little and did nothing. As a child I went to a Ku Klux Klan meeting with my parents and our friends , a Mobile, Ala. , policeman and his wife. The policeman, a friend from my mother ' s youth in Georgia whom I called Uncle J.C. , was eager for my father to get involved with the Klan and finally we all went to a Sunday night meeting at a little country church somewhere west of town . I remember the fiery cross out front, the parade of the sheeted figures down the center aisle and an unctuous awful speech by the Grand Dragon about sweet Christian behavior , which he was for, but seemed to think was lacking in that church . They presented the pastor with a big pulpit Bible and he didn't have the guts to throw them out . My father was plainly uncomfortable and got my mother and me out of there and on the road home as fast as he could .

Nearly a half-century has passed since two black couples were murdered by a white mob at the edge of the Apalachee River. But the echoes linger. Moore's Ford was the name of the killing place. A concrete bridge now spans the Apalachee River there. On it, crude racial epithets share space with the spray-painted declarations of high school sweethearts. Along the Walton County bank, amid beer cans and forest litter, are bones of field-butchered deer. The crime that stained the Georgia summer of 1946 was never solved, despite an intensive FBI investigation. "The best people in town won'{ talk," Georgia State Patrol Maj. William E. Spence said then. Today, many good people of this community still bridle at the mention of Moore's Ford. Few see any purpose in resurrecting tne past. But for Clinton Adams, the secrets of Monroe have been a poison. He was 10 years old when he witnessed the s layings, lying on his belly at the edge of a pine thicket, he says, drawn to the scene by angry shouting and the screams of terrified women. He told what he saw to a deputy sheriff, he says, and was warned that to speak of it again could get his family killed. For 46 years since, Mr. Adams has raced against shadows, convinced that men he could implicate were looking over his shoulder. A wrong number on the phone, or an unexpected salesman at the door, was enough to start him running - until, in a fann accident in 1990, he lost a leg. "It used to be I could move and get another job," he says, pushin(? a red "Select Sires" baseball cap higher on thinning hair. "Now I can't run no more." And so a few months ago, Mr. Adams, now 56 years old, told his s tory to the FBI, in the hope that confronting his past might help him purge it. In coming forward, he reopened a brutal chapter of Georgia's history - along with wounds that never fully healed . The Walton County of Clinton Adams's youth was cotton country. More than 27,000 acres were planted some years, and Walton could boast of one of the highes t yields per acre in the South. Clinton was the son of George Adams, a sharecropper. His childhood was short. When he was 9, his father fell sick and a few months later committed suicide, leaving Clinton, hi s mot her and four other children to struggle on alone. "He left me one old gray horse and 15 cents," Mr. Adams says. "He was a veteran, you know, but we never did get any veterans' benefits." The family went to work for a large landowner in neighboring Oconee County who also farmed in Walton. Life as a hired hand began at 4 a.m. Breakfast. Milking. In the fields by sunrise. Rarely home, most days, until nearly dusk. "Sometimes when there was no wind blowin', we'd have to get up at 2 in t!'le morning to dust for boll weevils," Mr. Adams says. "You'd do it then so's the spray didn't blow away." The law said children were supposed to go to school, but he was an infrequent student. "I'd go to school on rainy days, or when you couldn't plow in a field," he says, "but I was so far behind. I never could catch up. Finally, about fourth grade, I just plumb quit." At 12, he could tear a motor down and put it back together. And he could harrow a field better than most grown men. But he couldn't read, he says. Still can't. Awarning to blacks In 1946, World War II was over. The South, as was its custom, had given generously of its sons to the fighting, and now they were returning home. Mostly, they came back to the fields; one of every three Georgians then lived on a farm. It was a time when Joe Louis reigned as the heavyweight boxing champion, a year when columnist Drew Pearson came to the steps of the Georgia Capitol to denounce the Ku Klux Klan. The U.S. Supreme Court had abolished the all-white Democratic primary, and the '46 primary in July would be the first test of that ruling. Summer was a resonant season for rural politics. July was the beginning of "lay-by" time in the South. Crops had been planted; farmers waited on sun and rain to do their part. 1 - 0291-01 ~ 0 0 Former Gov. Eugene Talmadge was running again that summer. He knew well how to play a potent issue to advantage. On July 11, in his race to return to the governor's office, Talmadge warned blacks to stay away from the polls if they want· ed to remain in the "historic esteem" in which "white folks" had always held them. He said later in Columbus, "Some of the Nigras will vote, the fewer the bet· ter, but I add to it this: If I'm your governor, they won't vote in our white primary the next four years." Adispute turns violent On July 14, a Sunday, Roger Malcom, 24, followed his pregnant common-law wife, Dorothy, 20, to Bob Hester's residence, arguing with her. Malcom was a black tenant on the Hester property, part of the Hestertown community southeast of Monroe. • Barney Hester, Bob's 22year-old son, told Malcom to leave. According to the FBI re• port, Malcom then pulled a knife · and stabbed the white in the chest. What the argument was over is in dispute. The Hesters said Malcom had been drinking and was out of control. Although they cannot substantiate it, some longtime black residents of the area allege that Barney Hester w;,·:. having an affc.,ir with Dorothy Malcom, and that Roger Malcom was enraged when he found out about it. "There are some black women living here today who could tell you about being assaulted by certain white farmers," says one 66-year-old black woman who has lived in Walton County all her life. "Some men would stay out in the fi elds afraid to go home, because they were afraid of what they would find when they got home, and they couldn't do nothing about it." wa.c:on: MemGiy of brutal killings has haunted man After the stabbing, there was talk of killing Malcom right then, but one of the Hesters reportedly interceded. When sheriff's deputies arrived, Malcom was on his stomach in the yard, trussed up like a turkey. Barney Hester was taken to a local hospital to recover, and Roger Malcom was taken to the county jail. Dorothy Malcom returned to the home of her parents, Jim and Moena Williams, who lived un the farm in Oconee County. The Williamses' son, George Dorsey, 28, lived nearby, along with his common-Jaw wife, Mae Murray Dorsey, 23, who was considered attractive and was nicknamed Mae West. Dorsey had only recently returned from duty overseas. According to acquaintances, Army service in the Pacific had broadened Dorsey's perspective on the world, given him a new vantage point on the harsh role race played in the rhythms of the rural South. Some said the years of military service had emboldened him. Others said he was "uppity." Like Clinton Adams, George Dorsey and his parents worked as laborers for According to Mr. Adams, they were good neighbors. "When my daddy got sick, · George'd come out to the house. He'd cut our wood and put it in the woodbox, feed our horses, take care of everything that needed to be taken care of. Dorolhy, s he'd help Momma with canning, cooking or anything.

To the best of my knowledge, I do not remember local cars having any markings, sirens, or lights on them at all. In other words, most of the local vehicles were unmarked. I have made a list of Georgia State Patrol Troopers and GBI Agents that I believe were working in 1946 [see attached]. You can have these and hopefully they will assist in your investigation. I. D, DATA: Gene Ellis -West McIntosh Street SPECIAL AGENT J. C. 1/00 SI 11-0291-01-00 On Friday, July 28, 2000 at approximately 10:00 A. M., SPECIAL AGENT J, C, MADDOX interviewed GENE ELLIS at residence which is located a-IVest McIntosh Street, Milledgeville, Georgia, ELLIS was interviewed to determine what information he could provide about the Moore's Ford which occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia. ELLIS provided essentially the following information at this time: I was working for the Milledgeville Police Department back in 1946. I had returned from my tour of duty in World War II at the beginning of the year of 1946. I am not certain of the circumstances surrounding the event; however, I remember either a GBI Agent or a Georgia State Patrol Trooper contacting me on the car radio and asking me if] wanted to see a really bad crime scene. I met with the agent or trooper and rode with him to the crime scene at Moore's Ford Bridge in Walton County. I do not remember the name of that agent or trooper. When I was at the scene, I remember seeing the bodies lying down near a creek bed The creek bed was very shallow as though you could walk across it. I remember that I had just recently purchased a camera to take pictures of crime scenes, However, someone else was already taking pictures so I did not take any at all. This is all that I really remember about the incident, In I946, the Georgia State Patrol vehicles did not have a light bar the rear of the cart All they had was a red light on the driver's side fender and a siren on the passenger side fender. Both of these items were located on the front of the vehicle The words, "Georgia State Patrol" were located on the so @eorgia ~tate ~atrol l)o~t@ffice ~ox 1456 ~tlanta, ~eorgia 30371-1456 (404) 624-7710 Colonel George A.

I have checked with Mr. Mike Gilmer (404/624-7860), our Records Management Coordinator, and he has provided the following information that hopefully will assist with the investigation. Mike contacted the Georgia Archives office and they found there is a listing of criminal files from 1939 to the early 1950's. There were approximately 285 boxes containing these criminal files. Have your investigator contact Debra at the Records Center @ 404/75 6-4860 and ask for Session #95-1152R, which is the location of these boxes. Unfortunately, Mike was told there were no Personnel roster files listed.

However, agents confirmed that James "Jim" Haralson, a former GBI agent, was assigned to the Department of Public Safety Atlanta District, specifically, Walton County in 1948. When the Moore's Ford incident occurred in 1946, Haralson was not employed with the Department of Public Safety. He had resigned from DPS on September 01 , 1944, and later returned to the department on January 16, 1947. The GBI contacted retired Georgia State Patrol Captain Johnnie Robertson, Sr., who was a DPS employee in 1946. Captain Robertson indicated that he was assigned to the Hinesville Patrol Post in 1946, but attended the FBI National Academy from July to October of that particular year. Therefore, he was unfamiliar with the trooper(s) and agent(s) assigned to Walton County or surrounding counties in 1946. Agents have confirmed that the Georgia State Patrol is currently in possession of a photograph depicting a 1946 Georgia State Patrol marked vehicle, and have requested it accordingly. Additionally, the GBI has confirmed that the Georgia State Patrol historically maintained "post blotters" that were used by the Department of Public Safety to log the beginning and ending tours of duty of their employees, i. e., troopers and agents. The Georgia State Patrol continues to maintain these logs. Post blotters retained by the State Patrol are believed to be stored at the DPS archives facility or patrol posts. Agents are continuing in their efforts to locate the burial sites of Rogers Malcolm and Mae Murray Dorsey. They are also attempting to confirm the deaths of individuals who allegedly possessed information regarding the incident. Specifically, agents have confirmed that " an alleged suspect who was referenced during the initial and subsequent criminal investigations of the incident, is deceased. {END} ASA~liva: 07-21-2000 11-0291-01-00 I.

MADD1:t:1124100 aok:8/2/00~ 61 11-0291-01-00 On Friday, July 21, 2000 at approximately 3:00 P. M., SPECIAL AGENT J. C. MADDOX met with GBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR ROY HARRIS at GBI Headquarters in Decatur, Georgia for the purpose of discussing details of the Moore's Ford The Moore's Ford occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia. DEPUTY DIRECTOR HARRIS provided essentially the following information concerning the Moore's Ford I have spoken with GENE ELLIS, father of COLONEL GEORGE ELLIS of the Georgia State Patrol, ELLIS is the retired chief of Milledgeville Police. His phone number According to ELLIS, he was at the scene ofthe Moore's Ford the day it occurred. He advised that he, JAMES CANNUS, and ARTHUR HUTCHINS had gone to the scene to look at it. ELLIS remembered the incident because he had just recently purchased a camera. He had hoped that he would be able to take pictures of the scene. However, when ELLIS got there, someone else was already taking pictures so he did not take any. ELLIS was not sure of the first name of the trooper that worked the Walton County area in 1946; however, he thought it was an individual by the name of C. W. FULLER. ELLIS also recalled that none of the county patrol vehicles had light bars in 1946. In fact, most of the county cars were unmarked at that time. INVESTIGATIVE NOTE: AGENT MADDOX will attempt to contact and interview ELLIS concerning any information he might provide about the Moore's Ford incident. 50 11-029l>>01-00 I. D. DATA: [cominued] Office Address: - Freemanville Road Alpharetta, Georgia SPECIAL AGENT J. C, aok:8/Z/00 59 11-0291-01-00 On Friday, July 21, 2000 at approximately 2:00 P. M., SPECIAL AGENT J. C. MADDOX spoke with WILLIAM EDWARD SPENCE via telephone. This conversation was in reference to the Moore ' s Ford lynching which occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia. SPENCE is the son of the late WILLIAM SPENCE who was formally the Director of the GBI in 1946. WILLIAM SPENCE, SR. is deceased. AGENT MADDOX was attempting to determine if SPENCE had any knowledge of his father's work on the 1946 Moore's Ford lynching case. SPENCE provided essentially the following information at this time: I believe my father was keeping a scrapbook of the cases he worked throughout his life. Any information that he might have concerning this investigation would probably be in the form of newspaper articles. I will look through those newspaper articles and if I find anything relevant to your investigation, I will contact you. My father also wrote a book called "Both Sides of the Table". It seems that he related some information concerning the Moore's Ford lynching in that book. If I find any information in the book that might be relevant to your investigation, I will gladly forward that information to you. I. D. DATA: 58 William Spence W/M Attorney 11-0291-01-00 I. D.

MADDOX:7/24/00 aok:8/2~ 57 11-0291-01-00 On Friday, July 21, 2000 at approximately 12:00 P. M., SPECIAL AGENT J. C. MADDOX was located at the Department of Public Safety Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of obtaining a photograph of a 1946 Georgia State Patrol Vehicle. AGENT MADDOX met with DPS employee JIMMY CRUMP to obtain the photograph. CRUMP advised AGENT MADDOX the license plate on the vehicle indicates the year 1948. CRUMP stated that was just the tag on the vehicle. CRUMP advised AGENT MADDOX the vehicle is definitely a 1946 model. CRUMP further described the vehicle in the photograph as follows: There was no light bar located anywhere on this particular model. Light bars were not used on GSP vehicles until the 1970's. In the 1960's, GSP vehicles often had a dome light on the top of the vehicle that looked like a large bubble gum ball machine. The only emergency devices the vehicles had on them in 1946 would have been the siren on the passenger front fender and a light on the driver's side front fender. The photograph [see attached] indicates a 1946 Ford State Patrol vehicle, black and white in color. The words, "Georgia State Patrol" are printed on the front quarter panel of the vehicle. According to CRUMP, when the GSP originally received this model of vehicles, they were completely white. The GSP painted the fender areas and the black stripe on the hood to further indicate it as a GSP vehicle. 56 11-0291-01-00 Captain Robertson is on vacation athis daughter's residence this week and will then continue his vacation in Helen, Georgia at the Air Stream Park there.

HARALSON listed three (3) references on his State Security Questionnaire. Those three (3) references are as follows: DR. LYNN HUIE of Monroe, Georgia L. D. WALL of Monroe, Georgia SHERIFF C. J. SORRELLS of Monroe, Georgia According the personnel record concerning HARALSON, he was an excellent employee. For the majority of HARALSON'S employee evaluations, he received satisfactory to very satisfactory rating in all of his performances. There was no information within his personnel record that indicated he was ever suspended or reprimanded for any of his activities while employed with DPS. AGENT MADDOX made photographic copies of the following items located within HARALSON'S personnel record: HARALSON'S service record, HARALSON'S State of Georgia State Security Questionnaire, GSP Memo concerning the reinstatement of HARALSON on January 16, 194 7, GSP Memo concerning HARALSON' S resignation on September 1, 1944, and HARALSON'S resignation letter dated January 12, 1960 [see attached]. I. D. DATA: Luanne Worley [see previous summaries] 54 11-0291-01-00 HARALSON was transferred to the Atlanta State Patrol Post. On March 11, 1942, HARALSON was promoted to the rank of Sergeant with the Georgia State Patrol. On August 16, 1943, HARALSON was reduced to the rank of Corporal with the GSP. There is no information surrounding the reason why HARALSON was reduced to the rank of Corporal within his personnel record. On September 1, 1944, HARALSON retired from DPS on his own accord. On January 16, 1947, HARALSON rejoined DPS as a trooper out of the Atlanta Post. On November 23, 1948, DPS records indicate HARALSON was reinstated as a Sergeant assigned to the GBI. There is no information within his personnel record concerning his reinstatement. On February 3, 1960, HARALSON resigned from the GBI on his own accord. According to a letter from HARALSON located within his personnel record, the resignation was initiated for the purpose of making a political race. It is unknown at this time what political race that was. On March 16, 1960, HARALSON was re-appointed as a GBI Agent. On November 26, 1960, HARALSON resigned again of his own accord. According to the State of Georgia State Security Questionnaire located in HARALSON'S personnel record, HARALSON was married to HELEN BRISCOE HARALSON. He had one (1) daughter, FRANCES PATRICIA HARALSON. His employment record indicates that from December, 1935 to June, 1939, he was a policeman for the City of Monroe, Georgia. 53 The employment record also 11-0291-01-00 On Thursday, July 20, 2000 at approximately 2:30 P. M., SPECIAL AGENT J. C. MADDOX was located the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Headquarters in Decatur, Georgia for the purpose of reviewing the personnel file of JAMES DAVID HARALSON. HARALSON was a former Department of Public Safety employee. During his employment with the DPS, HARALSON served as a Georgia State Patrol Trooper and a GBI Agent. CLINTON ADAMS, an eyewitness to the Moore's Ford lynching which occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia, alleged that a GBI Agent by the name of JIM HARRJS or CLARA HARRJS had worked in the Walton County area. ADAMS alleged that this particular GBI Agent often traveled with Walton County Sheriffs Deputies LEWIS HOWARD and C. J. "DOC" SORRELLS. ADAMS stated he (ADAMS) knew that this particular GBI Agent was aware of what person(s) were responsible for killing the four (4) black victims in the Moore's Ford lynching. After contacting several different retired DPS employees, AGENT MADDOX learned that there was no GBI Agent by the name of JIM HARRJS or CLARA HARRJS working in Walton County around 1946. However, AGENT MADDOX learned that a GBI Agent named JIM HARALSON had worked with DPS around 1946. GBI DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL LUANNE WORLEY obtained HARASON'S original DPS Personnel Record. Upon review of HARALSON'S personnel record, AGENT MADDOX noted the following: HARALSON began his career with DPS on August 15, 1939. stationed at the Cartersville, Georgia State Patrol Post. 52 He was On June 4, 1941, 11-0291-01-00 I.

The E-mail was in reference to the Moore' s Ford lynching which occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia. The E-mail was in reference to the possible names of GBI Agents or Georgia State Patrol Troopers that may have worked the Walton County area between 1946 and 1953. The Email correspondence related essentially the following information: The Employee Retirement System and Department of Public Safety have been contacted in reference to the names JIM or JAMES HARRIS, JIM or JAMES or JIM or JAMES HARALSON. ERS and DPS have been asked to check their records to see if they could find anything concerning the aforementioned names. The aforementioned names are similar to the name given to SPECIAL AGENTS J. C. MADDOX and M. W. PEARSON during an interview with CLINTON ADAMS concerning the Moore' s Ford lynching. GBI Staff Services has also been contacted to see if they would check through their archive records concerning this possible State employee. ERS advised that if the GBI could obtain any more information such as a birth date, Social Security Number, or something of that nature, they (ERS) may have more success in assisting with the investigation. 46 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GB/ CASE NUMBER: 11-0291-01-00 {Ref: Moore's Ford Bridge Death Investigation} Week ending July 14'", 2000 SYNOPSIS During the week of July 10-14, 2000, agents of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) have attempted to identify the GBI agent who was involved in the Moore's Ford investigation in 1946 and the Georgia State trooper who was allegedly at the location of and/or involved in the incident. The FBI initially received information in 1991 from Clinton Adams, an alleged eye-witness to the incident, that a GBI agent, Jim Harris, and Deputy Sheriffs Louis Howard and C. J. Sorrells of the Walton County Sheriffs Office had traveled to Adams' home and talked with his mother following the incident. On July 05, 2000, the GBI conducted an interview of Clinton Adams concerning theMoore's Ford incident. Adams related to agents that the GBI agent who had accompanied Walton County deputies to his home in 1946 was Clara Harris. GBI agents have contacted various retired employees of the Department of Public Safety who included agents of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and/or troopers of the Georgia State Patrol. Several retired employees recalled that JimHarralson was employed by the GBI in the 1950s. Additionally, one retired employee stated that Clara Harris, a white male, was a significantly wealthy resident of Barrow County, Georgia, and had not been employed in law enforcement. No retired employee who was contacted remembered Jim Harris. Director Luanne Worley of the GBI Office of Personnel has conducted a search of GBI and Employee Retirement System (ERS) records, but has been unable to locate any record pertaining to Jim or Clara Harris. However, she has discovered a document reflecting the name of James Harralson written on it but has been unable to locate further documentation to support his employment with the GBI. Upon request from Director Worley, the Department of Public Safety is conducting a search of their records for the purpose of confirming Harralson' s employment. Information received during the agents ' communications with the aforementioned retired individuals has revealed limited information in regard to the identities of troopers assigned to the Oconee or Walton County areas in 1946. Trooper F. M. Combs was assigned to the Madison, Georgia Patrol Post in 1946, but is now deceased. Agents are also attempting to locate information from various sources or a photograph of the state patrol vehicles used in 1946. {END} ASAC J. R.

MADDOX spoke with retired Georgia State Patrol Trooper CHOYCE JOHNSON via telephone. The conversation was in reference to the Moore's Ford lynching which occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia. AGENT MADDOX was attempting to determine if JOHNSON had any knowledge of what GBI agents or GSP troopers worked in the Walton County are in 1946. JOHNSON provided essentially the following information at this time: I am not absolutely certain, but I believe that GSP trooper F. M. COMBS was the trooper working out of the Madison GSP Post in 1946. The only reason that I remember this is because I had been stationed in Okinawa for the war and did not return until late 1946. When I went to the Madison GSP Post, COMBS was the trooper that issued me my Georgia Driver's License. I am certain that COMBS is deceased at this time. I know that there used to be a GBI agent named JIM HARRALSON that worked in the Walton County area. I am uncertain of the time period in which HARRALSON worked with the GBI. I have never heard of a GBI agent named CLARA HARRIS. I've never heard of a GBI agent named JIM HARRIS. 43 11-0291-01-00 On Tuesday, July 11, 2000 at approximately 1 1:15 A. M., SPECIAL AGENT J. C. MADDOX spoke with Clarke County SHERIFF JERRY MASSEY via telephone The conversation was in reference to the Moore's Ford which occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia. AGENT MADDOX was attempting to determine if SHERIFF MASSEY had any knowledge of any GBI agents or GSP troopers that might have been working the Walton County area in 1946. SHERIFF MASSEY provided essentially the following information at this time: I am unfamiliar with what GBI agents and GSP troopers would have been working the Walton County area in 1946. I do not know an individual named JIM HARRIS who might have been a GBI agent during that time period. I do remember a man with the last name of HARRIS that retired as a Captain with the GSP, but I do not believe his first name was JIM.

Pearson and Jesse C. Maddox conducted an interview of Clinton Adams, alleged eye-witness, at his residence in Bonifay, Florida. During the interview, Adams' statements were consistent with his previous statements provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and/or other interested persons. He provided accurate, concise, and detailed information, and presented a truthful demeanor when relating the information to the agents. While recalling the incident that occurred at Moore's Ford Bridge where Walton and Oconee Counties in Georgia adjoin, Adams related that approximately 12-14 individuals, specifically white (Caucasian) males, were present at the location when the four African-American victims were murdered.

That is the last time I saw Since I spoke with the FBI in 1991, I have done several interviews with the media. I have spoken with HYDE POST of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. I have also spoken with RICHARD RUSK. I have been on DateLine and theOprah Winfrey Show. I am also scheduled to be on a public broadcasting system (PBS) special concerning the Jim Crow Laws which is to be aired sometime in 2000. In 1999, a local news reporter named ANN VARNUM helped my wife, MARJORIE ADAMS, write a book called, "The Secret Inside". Until my initial contact with the FBI in 1991, the FBI has never spoken to me about this incident. I was never interviewed in 1946 when the FBI was conducting their investigation. I know that the FBI interviewed during their investigation because was supposed to testify at a Grand Jury hearing. To the best of my knowledge, never testified to the Grand Jury. Whatever told the FBI during their investigation, it would not surprise me if the words he spoke actually came from his father, I know that EMERSON FARMER'S father would have beaten him good had he known he (EMERSON) had been down there on the day of the shooting. There are two (2) people I think know something about this incident that if you interviewed you might get some information from. There was a GBI Agent 3~ 11-0291-01-00 came by one day and told me that I was making people very nervous. HOWARD advised me that I had better leave town. I went to work for a carnival in Augusta, Georgia. I traveled all over the eastern seaboard with the carnival. There have been several incidents throughout my past where members of local law enforcement agencies, and citizens alike, would tell me that they knew all about me. They would tell me to keep my mouth shut and I would be all right. After most of these confrontations with these individuals, I would pack up my belongings and move my family to another place. We have moved several times through the years. In 1989, I lost my leg in an accident at work. When I filed for a settlement, lawyers for the insurance company began digging around in my past. I went to my attorney and explained that I was sure the insurance company would eventually find out that I was a witness to the Moore's Ford lynching. My attorney told me that I should tell the FBI this information. They arranged for a FBI agent from the Panama City Field Office to conduct an interview with me. I never would have told the story had I not lost my leg in that accident. In 1981, I had gone to house in Oconee County. I told that I knew why MALCOLM was killed at the Moore's Ford lynching (referring to the stabbing of BARNET HESTER the week prior to the Moore's Ford lynching), but why did you have to kill GEORGE DORSEY. told me that since GEORGE had returned from his tour of duty with the army, he (DORSEY) had thought he was just as good as a white person. I 36 11-0291-01-00 SORRELLS both worked for the Walton County Sheriffs Department. Apparently HOWARD and SORRELLS were investigating the crime. They were talking to my mother at the time when I told them, "I know who done it." HOWARD took me to the side and said to me, "I can put some of those people in jail, but I can't put them all in jail." HOWARD told me that it was best that I keep quiet about this incident. He told me that the information that I had could end up getting me or my family hurt. I trusted HOWARD because he and SORRELLS had come out to my house in February, 1946 when my father hung himself. HOWARD and SORRELLS had always looked out for me after my father had died. I just figured they knew what was best for me, so I kept my mouth shut. Eventually, HOWARD arranged for my mother to get a house on ERNEST DILLARD 'S farm in Walton County. We all worked there so that could keep an eye on us and watch what we said. worked us from daylight to dark. As the years passed, my friend got mean after the shooting incident. His father, RJDEN was a mean man and he beat his children all the time. eventually got into trouble for breaking into people's homes and was sent to jail. HOWARD was concerned that I might end up with the same fate. HOWARD took me to the local draft board and enlisted me in the army. I believe I joined the army in 1954. When I came back from the army, I began working at Breedlove's Dairy Farm in Monroe, Georgia. After I had worked there for sometime, HOWARD 35 11-0291-01-00 men that were located at that scene on that day. However, I clearly remember and EMMETT seeing and remember seeing male individuals at the Moore's Ford Bridge. employees of and and firing guns at the scene. I also among the group of white were and at the time of the shooting. I did not see firing weapons at the scene. I just assumed that were there to help clean up the scene after they were done. While I was running home, I had seen moving a tractor that had been blocking the road on the Walton County side of the Moore's Ford Bridge. I later realized that had probably parked his tractor on the Moore's Ford Road to prevent anyone from going down to the bridge. When I got home, I told my mother what had happened. She did not believe me when I told her what I had seen. However, she later heard on the radio that four (4) black individuals had been shot to death at the Moore's Ford Bridge. The next day, my mother took my siblings and me down to the Moore's Ford Bridge. When we were down there, I could see the area where EMERSON and I had laid down on the ground. The grass where we had lain was pressed down flat. At the area where the shooting had occurred, there was still blood on the ground. My sister found a tooth lying near the scene. I had wanted to keep the tooth, but my mother would not let me. Three (3) or four (4) days after the incident had occurred, LOUIS HOWARD and C. J. "DOC" SORRELLS came to my residence. HOWARD and 34 11-0291-01-00 hit the ground, almost everyone began shooting. Some of the white males were shooting at the victims on the ground. Some of the white males were shooting at the trees located all around the scene. I became terrified at this point and tried to press my body further and further into the ground. EMERSON and I dared not rise up from our position as we thought we would also be killed. After the gunfire had ceased, I could hear the men talking. I could not fully understand everything that was being said. However, I thought I heard a few of the men laughing. There had been two (2) or three (3) cars located on the Oconee County side of the Moore's Ford Bridge and several of the men got in those cars and left. On the Walton County side of the Moore's Ford Bridge, I remember seeing car, HARPER'S truck, and a Georgia State Patrol vehicle. (I knew it was a Georgia State Patrol car because it was a 1946 Ford with a light bar on the top.) I remember seeing the men putting several guns into the trunk of the Georgia State Patrol vehicle. The person driving the Georgia State Patrol vehicle stated, "Give me two (2) hours and I will be in North Carolina". The Georgia State Patrol vehicle left at that time. The last two (2) people located at the Moore's Ford Bridge were and As soon as they left, EMERSON and I got up. I could see the bodies of the four (4) black individuals lying on the ground. They were surrounded by smoke and blood. EMERSON and I ran to our respective homes. When the shooting had occurred I probably could have named everyone down at the Moore's Ford Bridge. However, I have forgotten the names of the 33 11-0291-01-00 and hollering. We ran down to the area of the bridge and I saw approximately twelve (12) to fifteen (15) white men pushing and shoving four (4) black individuals. There were two (2) black males and two (2) black females. I recognized one of the black males to be GEORGE DORSEY. I recognized one of the black females to be DOROTHY (DORIS) DORSEY. EMERSON and I were watching all this while we were hiding behind a cotton patch. We had both lain down on our stomachs and could see the whole incident occurring approximately forty (40) to fifty (50) yards away. We did not rise up from our positions because we were afraid that we might be seen and get into trouble. I recognized several of the white individuals located at Moore's Ford Bridge that day to be members of the Ku Klux Klan. I knew this because I had seen these same men gathering at the Klan meeting place which was right near where we lived. I thought the Klan was going to whip the black individuals and that would be the end of it. However, the white individuals began pushing the four (4) black individuals down a small wagon trail located near the Moore's Ford Bridge at the Appalachee River. I noticed that GEORGE DORSEY had his hands tied in front of him. I could not tell if the other black male had his hands tied. The white males continued to push the four (4) black individuals. The two (2) black females were still screaming and hollering. Then, all of a sudden, four (4) white individuals that I did not recognize came forward and shot all four ( 4) black individuals. When the black individuals 32 11-0291-01-00 On Wednesday, July 5, 2000 at approximately 2:00 P. M., SPECIAL AGENTS J. C. MADDOX and M. W. PEARSON interviewed CLINTON ADAMS at his residence at- Ten Mile Road in Bonifay, Florida. ADAMS was interviewed to determine what information he could provide about the Moore's Ford which occurred on July 25, 1946 in Walton County, Georgia. ADAMS was an alleged eyewitness to the incident. AGENTS MADDOX and PEARSON also taped the interview on two (2) audiocassettes which were maintained as evidence. The audiocassettes are inventoried on GBI Receipt of Property [see mashed]. AGENTS MADDOX and PEARSON also requested ADAMS to draw a rough diagram of the Moore's Ford Bridge area as he remembered it in 1946. The diagram [see attached] was drawn so that ADAMS could better explain the location of the suspects and the victims of the Moore's Ford ADAMS provided essentially the following information at this time: Near the end ofJuly or the beginning of August of 1946, I was visiting my friend, -- lived in a house near the Moore": Ford Bridge in Walton County, Georgia. lived in a house with his parents and siblings.

While inside he observed ammunition, wooden stocks to various long guns, a box of mercury switches, and a crate of what J. Middlebrooks believed was C-4 explosives. 29. On one occasion, J. Middlebrooks was present when Vinson 's ex-brother-in-law, Terry LNU, was speaking with an unknown person about a car being buried on Vinson's property. Once Terry LNU observed that J. Middlebrooks was there, Middlebrooks was quickly asked to leave. 30. Affiant has reason to believe that Vinson's statements are true based on the fact that Vinson provided the same information to three separate individuals over an extended period of time and Vinson had no reason to believe the three individuals would provide the information to the police. The Cl was selling methamphetamine to Vinson during the time frame that she confided in him. The FBI obtained documents and a firearm from the Cl, corroborating some of Vinson's information. 31 . Affiant has reason to believe the information provided by Deidre Middlebrooks and Jeff Middlebrooks because both subjects gave the information during separate interviews with the FBI. The information provided to the FBI was similar in nature and corroborated information the Cl previously provided. 32. It should be noted that the crimes mentioned above took place in 1946 and the information received indicates that some of the items have been hidden, buried, and/or located at the abovedescribed property for approximately sixty one years. The majority of the items are nonperishable items and are located in areas that appear to be undisturbed. This long term pattern of conduct displayed by both Hinton and Vinson to conceal the whereabouts of the evidence is reasonable to conclude that the evidence is still present on the property. 33. Based on the aforementioned information, Affiant believes that probable cause exists to search the residence and entire curtilage at 1354 Michael Road NW, Monroe, Georgia for nonperishable items, to include but not limited to, human remains, blood and other bodily fluids; trace evidence, papers, documents, and writings; firearms, parts of firearms, and ammunition described as being on Vinson's property. 11-0291-n -00 . EXHIBIT_ __ 20. Cl heard rumors from unknown sources that a car containing a human body was buried somewhere on Vinson's property. In addition, Cl heard that several other people that Hinton had murdered during his years in the KKK were buried in various places on the property. 21. On June 10, 2008, acting under the direction of the FBI and GBI, Cl went to Vinson's property to attempt to have a recorded conversation with Vinson. Vinson had a brief conversation with Cl, but was not receptive to Cl. On June 13, 2008, Cl attempted to engage Vinson in a conversation over the telephone, but Vinson again was not receptive. During the conversation it became clear to Cl that Vinson did not want further contact with Cl. 22. FBI Investigation fully identified George Hinton as George C. Hinton, born on November 22, 1923, died on June 10, 1996. Further investigation identified Linda Diane Vinson, born October 27, 1954. FBI confirmed 1354 Michael Road NW, Monroe, Georgia as Vinson 's residence through source reporting, public source data bases, and Walton County property records. 23. SA Hasty interviewed Deidra Middlebrooks on June 19, 2008. D. Middlebrooks stated that she lived on Vinson's property, 1354 Michael Road NW, from December 2005 until October 2006. During that time Vinson told D. Middlebrooks that Vinson 's father, George Hinton, was the "Grand Master" and gunsmith for the KKK. Vinson explained to D. Middlebrooks that the entire property at 1354 Michael Road was an old KKK property and that Hinton used to conduct KKK meetings in the barn on said property. 24. Vinson further told D. Middlebrooks that Hinton was involved in the "Moore's Ford Killings". Vinson explained to D. Middlebrooks that Hinton was one of the main people responsible for the murders, and "if the guns were released that were used in the murders it would come back on her father." Vinson explained to D. Middlebrooks that the guns used in the murders were brought back to the property after the murders and maintained there. D. Middlebrooks does not know where or how the guns were stored . In addition, Vinson told D. Middlebrooks that a Gatlin style gun was buried on the property. D. Middlebrooks was never told of the location of this gun . 25. Also while on the property, Vinson took D. Middlebrooks into Hinton's gunsmith shop. While there D. Middlebrooks observed blueprints of various firearms , gun tools, ammunition, and other gun parts. Some of the blueprints and other documentation, according to D. Middlebrooks, described in detail how different barrels were fitted on different guns to disguise identification. D. Middlebrooks stated that all of those items were still present the last time she was on the property in October 2006. 26. D. Middlebrooks then described that on one afternoon while living on Vinson's property, she was near the garage digging up mason jars, which Vinson's late mother had buried, when she struck the front fender of a car. D. Middlebrooks stated that it appeared as if the car was completely buried in what used to be a trash pit. When D. Middlebrooks asked Vinson about the buried car, Vinson told D. Middlebrooks that a human body was placed in the car and buried as a resu lt of KKK activity. 27. SA Darin Werking, FBI, interviewed Jeff Middlebrooks on June 23, 2008. J. Middlebrooks stated that he lived on Linda Vinson's property approximately May 2005 to October 2005. During that time Vinson told J. Middlebrooks that Hinton and others were involved in the Moore's Ford murders, specifically, that Hinton hung and shot the victims. Vinson further explained to J. Middlebrooks that a Gatlin style gun, which Hinton built himself, was used to shoot the victims at Moore's Ford and is buried somewhere on Vinson 's property. 11-0291-01-00 ; EXHIBIT___ _ gun used in the murders. Vinson described the shotgun as missing IL~ stock as a result of being broken when her father used it to beat one of the victims. Vinson stated to Cl that the guns along with other information are "the keys to the lynching" and are still buried in her root cellar on the farm . 13. Vinson further explained to Cl that she wanted to give some items to him/her because her father wanted all of his KKK belongings passed on to a fellow Klansman after his death . Believing that the Cl was a Klansman, she provided Cl with a box of KKK documents, which was retrieved from the gunsmith shop on her property, and her father's shotgun (the one described in paragraph 12 as having been used in the murders) . Vinson told Cl that there are additional KKK documents stored in a storm shelter on Vinson's property, but Cl did not attempt to retrieve those documents. 14. Cl identified the current location of where he/she was storing the box of documents and shotgun to FBI Agents, and provided consent to retrieve them. Subsequently, SA Hasty located and retrieved the shotgun and box of documents, which is maintained as evidence. The shotgun was submitted to the FBI crime lab for further analysis. 15. A detailed review of the documents in the box revealed the original charter membership for the KKK from 1939 and 1949 for the Walton County KKK chapters. This membership roster included the names of four (4) suspects from the 1946 FBI investigation , J.F. Moon, R.K. Palmer, Harry Jackson, and Sam Bradley. In addition, the funeral home director and proprietor, E.L. Almand, where the victims' bodies were initially transported to after the murders, was listed as the "Exalted Cyclops," or leader of that particular KKK chapter, as of 1939. In addition, a roster of names with no title was in the box, which included the name Harold Bone, a suspect in the original 1946 FBI investigation. 16. On April 24, 2008, in an effort to determine if the shotgun recovered would have existed at the time of murders, Atlanta Agents provided Atlanta Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) with the description and serial numbers on the shotgun. ATF Special Agent Wade Torp advised that the Daniel Boone, 12 gauge double barreled shotgun, with a missing stock, recovered from Cl, was manufactured and sold by Crescent Fire Arms Corporation circa 1888-1931 . 17. Cl observed ammunition and firearms on several different occasions while at Vinson's residence. Cl stated that inside Vinson's home he/she observed two handguns, which Cl described as revolvers, commonly called "six shooters". Cl further stated that these handguns were readily accessible to Vinson as they were kept near or on her kitchen counter, and on a lamp table in the living room. 18. In addition, Cl stated that George Hinton's gunsmith shop, from his time in the KKK, is located in a separate building on the farm property, which has not been disturbed since Hinton died. On one occasion while Cl was with Vinson, she took Cl inside the gunsmith shop, where Cl observed "thousands of rounds of ammunition", and other firearms parts which Hinton had apparently collected until his death. Additionally, Vinson described to Cl about how Hinton had the ability to reconfigure a gun so that it would not be traceable. Vinson stated that Hinton switched various parts on the guns including the barrels to accomplish this. Vinson showed Cl blueprints and diagrams of this process, which are still maintained inside of Hinton's gunsmith shop. 19. Vinson also showed Cl the location of the root cellar on the farm . Cl described the root cellar as being directly behind and detached from the main home. Cl stated that the area surrounding the root cellar has been untouched since Cl has had contact with Vinson. Cl further observed the area as having heavy areas of grass and shrubbery that has grown over the top of the root cellar doors concealing its location . Cl believes that the actual doors to the root cellar are now buried because of the lack of upkeep to the area. 11-0291~01- o o EXHIBIT _ __ of a noose, around his neck. 1 ney also observed that Roger Malcom and George Dorsey were tied together around the hands. 7. As a result of the 1946 FBI investigation, no one was ever charged with the murders, nor have any of the firearms used in the murders ever been recovered. 8. On April 22, 2008, SA Hasty received information that a Confidential Informant (Cl) wanted to provide the FBI with information relating to the lynchings in Walton County, Georgia. Cl is currently incarcerated, and after being contacted, requested that in exchange for providing information to the FBI, that he/she be allowed to transfer to another county jail to serve out the remainder of his/her sentence. To date, the FBI has not made any promises concerning this request nor has the FBI done anything to assist with this request. 9. Since 1997, Cl has provided reliable information to several law enforcement agencies which has resulted in the issuance of search warrants, and the arrest, indictment, and conviction of several subjects. Specifically, Cl provided information to the Walton County Sheriff's Department (WCSD) pertaining to stolen property. Cl was able to introduce an undercover deputy to the subjects of the investigation, and provided information that resulted in the issuance of a search warrant. The WCSD, as a result of information provided by Cl, was able to indict and convict the subjects of this investigation. 10. Additionally, Cl was able to do a controlled purchase of narcotics for the Drug Enforcement Administration. That purchase resulted in the indictment and conviction of two subjects on federal drug charges. 11. Cl was interviewed by SA Hasty on April 22, 2008 and stated that he/she was a convicted methamphetamine dealer, who distributed methamphetamine in recent years throughout Walton County, Georgia. During that time, Cl met Linda Last Name Unknown (LNU), later identified through investigation as Linda Diane Vinson, who became a frequent customer of Cl. Over the next several years, approximately May 2004 to April 2007, Vinson befriended Cl, who she believed to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Throughout the course of their relationship, and because Vinson believed Cl to be a member of the KKK, Vinson confided to Cl that she was aware that her deceased father, George Hinton, had been the "gunsmith" for the Walton County Chapter of the KKK during the 1940's. 12. Although Vinson was not alive at the time of the murders at Moore's Ford Bridge in July 1946, during the following years, and until the time of her father's death in 1996, her father continuously told her of his involvement in the "lynching" of the victims. Vinson told Cl that on the afternoon of the "lynching", members of the KKK, to include her father, gathered at the Hinton farm, located less than seven miles from the murder scene at Moore's Ford Bridge. After the meeting, the KKK members departed for the bridge to "lynch a black man." Once the KKK members were at the bridge, they discovered that a "family" of black individuals had arrived along with the targeted black male, but that did not stop the KKK members, as they decided to murder all of them. Vinson indicated that the KKK members hung one of the black males from the bridge trussel, and then the entire black "family", along with the one still hanging, were shot. Once they had killed all four victims, the KKK members returned to Hinton's farm, and because Hinton was the gunsmith for the KKK, he was given the guns used in the murders, to hide. In addition to hiding the murder weapons, Hinton owned a "Gatlin" gun that he decided to hide. Vinson described to Cl how Hinton prepared the "Gatlin" gun for burial by stuffing the barrels with grease and wrapping it in burlap. SA Hasty confirmed with ATF Agent Wade Torp that this would be a proper method for preservation. Hinton buried all the weapons, except for his "favorite" shotgun, in the root cellar on the Hinton farm . Vinson explained that her father did not bury his "favorite" shotgun because he was proud of possessing a 11-0291~01-oo EXHIBIT_ __ 2. James P.

By way of background, according to the 1946 FBI investigation, at approximately 2:00 PM on July 25th, 1946 went to the Walton County jail to inquire about Roger Malcom's bond, at the request of Dorothy Malcolm and his family. Malcom was being held in the jail, accused of stabbing a white farm owner, Barnette Hester, after an argument which occurred on July 14, 1946. discussed the bond amount with Sheriff Gordon, who told the bond amount was $600.00. paid Roger Malcolm's bond because Roger Malcolm's wife Dorothy Malcolm and her family had been employed by for several years. returned to the jail to get Roger 4. At approximately 5:00PM on July 25, 1946, Malcolm. was accompanied by Dorothy Malcolm, Dorothy's brother George Dorsey, and George's wife Willa Mae Murray. After bonding Roger Malcolm out of jail, the group then began the drive back to Harrison's farm in Oconee County, Georgia by way of Moore's Ford Bridge. 5. According to Harrison's statements to the FBI in 1946, once they reached Moore's Ford Bridge, observed a car stopped at the opposite end of the bridge, on the Oconee County side, and several men got out. Two more cars then came up behind as he drove down the road towards the bridge. stated several other men came out of the woods on either side of the bridge on the Walton County side. estimated the group to be twenty to twenty-five men. When stopped the car, one of the men came up to the car, pointed at Roger Malcolm, and stated , 'There is the son-of-a-bitch we want. " When the group went to get Malcolm out of the car, another man grabbed George Dorsey and said, "All right Charlie, we'll take you too," mistaking Dorsey for his brother Charlie Boy Dorsey. According to the men then took Malcolm and Dorsey towards the woods. stated at that point both women, Dorothy Malcom and Willa Mae Murray, began screaming and cursing the group. According to Dorothy Malcolm called the name or names of some of the men in the group, as no one was concealing their identity. stated that the apparent leader of the group then directed some men to take the women out of the car. Dorothy Malcom and Willa Mae Murray were then forcibly removed from the car screaming and fighting. At that point, all four were taken into the woods and shot multiple times. stated that the group was armed with shotguns, rifles, and handguns. also reported that although he did not see the actual shooting, he heard someone counting down and then the shooting started. counted three separate volleys of shots. The leader of the group then asked if he knew anyone present, and stated that he said "no" at least twice. The group then left at the bridge. 6. According to the 1946 FBI investigation, when local law enforcement and the Walton County Corner's Jury arrived at Moore's Ford Bridge later that evening , they found Roger Malcom, Dorothy Malcom, George Dorsey, and Willa Mae Murray, all dead from multiple gun shot wounds.

SPECIAL AGENT JAMES HOSTY was the FBI case agent for the murder investigation of ROGER MALCOM , DOROTHY MALCOM , GEORGE DORSEY, and WILLA MAE MURRAY, which occurred at the Moore's Ford Bridge on July 25, 1946. FBI ASAC HOWARD HATFIELD, S/A JAMES HOSTY, S/A DARIN WERKING , DA KEN WYNN, and ADA DAVID BOYLE were present at the meeting . AGENT HOSTY briefed the above mentioned individuals of the following information . AGENT HOSTY had developed a Confidential Informant (Cl) who provided information to the FBI about GEORGE HINTON'S involvement with the Moore's Ford murders. The Cl advised that he/she had befriended HINTON'S daughter, LINDA VINSON , and she had provided information about HINTON'S involvement in the Klu Klux Klan and the Moore's Ford murders. VINSON believed the Cl was an active member of the KKK and gave the Cl a box of documents that belonged to her father. The box of documents contained a KKK charter that listed the names and ranks of members of the KKK. Letters written by GEORGE HINTON and other members of the KKK were included in the box of documents. VINSON also provided a shotgun to the Cl that she claimed was used in the Moore's Ford murders. VINSON advised the Cl that other guns and documents remained on her property, some of them buried , that originally belonged to her father, GEORGE HINTON. Refer to the FBl's case file for specific details regarding information obtained by the Cl.

STEPHENS and Special Agent J.C. MADDOX were located at the GBI Region Eleven Field Office in Athens, Georgia. SAC STEPHENS, Agent MADDOX, and FBI Special Agent JIM KEARLEY met with ROBERT HOWARD and BILL FLEMMING in reference to the Moore's Ford Lynching investigation. HOWARD and FLEMMING were members of the Moore's Ford Committee. HOWARD and FLEMMING had come to GBI Athens to share information relating to this investigation. HOWARD was a respected member of the African-American community in the Walton County, Georgia area and allegedly been able to divulge information from citizens pertaining to this investigation, as he was not a law enforcement official. At approximately 3:55 P.M., Agent MADDOX recorded HOWARD'S portion of the conversation, to establish his character and background. That recording was made onto an Olympus VN-480PC digital recorder. (That recording was later transferred to a compact disc and listed on GBI Receipt for Property E-373208- see attached.) For complete details of the conversation refer to the recording on compact disc. Since the intent of the conversation was to establish rapport with HOWARD, no specific, pertinent information was obtained at this time in regards to this case.

Keenan Director September 8, 2005 Mr. Rich Rusk, Secretary Moore's Ford Memorial Committee, Inc. 1851 Rays Church Road Bishop, Georgia 30621-1206 Dear Mr. Rusk: I received your letter of August 24, 2005, on behalf of the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee, Inc. Included in the letter are a moving and impressive summation of the efforts and accomplishments of the committee to obtain justice for the four victims of the Moore's Ford lynching in i 946 as well as detailed reasons for the frustration experienced by the many individuals who have worked so diligently to see justice served. I also feel tremendous frustration that the perpetrators of these brutal murders have gone unpunished for so many years. Your letter asks that I ~upport a call for indictments, for the appointment of a special prosecutor to assist in the case, and for an intensification of the investigation. The Georgia Bureau oflnvestigation is a state-level agency whose jurisdiction and authority to investigate crimes are, with few exceptions, limited to those cases where we have been requested by an individual or agency specified in state statutes. Your letter commends our professional investigation of this incident that was initiated in 2000 and encourages us to actively seek new leads. You are correct that we have conducted an extensive investigation into the Moore's Ford lynchings in the past and, in fact, continue to have an open case on this murder in our Athens Regional Office. The supervisor of that office, Special Agent in Charge Fred Stephens, continues to ensure the follow-up of every lead that arises and the thorough investigation of every scrap of information that may possibly be of value in solving this case. I have personally reviewed our work in this case to date, and I continue to stay apprised of all new developments in our investigation. Regardless of any other investigations we may be conducting, no lead or piece of information in the Moore's Ford murders has failed to be thoroughly investigated and these efforts will continue until this case is solved. I am satisfied the GBI is doing everything within its power, ability and authority to bring the perpetrators to justice in this case and we will continue to do so. Division of Forensic Sciences P.O.

It is his role and responsibility to make those decisions just as it is his prerogative to decide whether or not to seek the assistance of a special prosecutor; I have no authority in those matters. I do believe District Attorney Ken Wynne is a decent and honorable public servant and that he would take any legal steps possible he felt would help bring justice and a conclusion to this case. The Moore's Ford lynchings in 1946 are a dark stain in Georgia history, and I commend the members of the Moore's Ford Memorial Committee for their tireless efforts to keep this investigation moving forward until it is resolved. As Director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, I pledge that we also will continue to do everything within our power to bring those responsible for these murders to justice.

August 24, 2005 Mr. Vernon Keenan, Director Georgia Bureau of Investigation 3121 Panthersville Rd., Box 370808 Decatur, GA 30037-0808 Dear Director Keenan: Our Moore's Ford Memorial Committee, a multiracial group of Georgians, formed in fall 1997 to commemorate two African American couples murdered by a lynch mob on July 25, 1946 at the Moore's Ford Bridge joining Oconee and Walton Counties. After a memorial effort of eight years standing, on February 24, 2005, our committee asked Alcovey District Attorney Ken Wynne to seek indictments against several still-living (we believe) suspects in these killings. In similar letters to Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker, FBI Director Robert Mueller, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue, State Representative Tyrone Brooks and other local, state and federal leaders, we also ask them to support our call for indictments, intensify this inve~tigation locally and appoint a special prosecutor to assist with this case. We seek outside assistance for the following reasons: 1) Despite contrary claims by the District Attorney's office, several MFMC members and some African American residents of Walton County believe there is sufficient evidence in the FBI Report of 1946 and the GBI Report of 2000 to proceed with indictments. An "outside look" to evaluate this evidence would help, especially in the absence of a GBI status report to the public that was promised but never delivered. 2) We believe, as evidenced by recent convictions in Alabama and Mississippi, that new information could be forthcoming if a sustained, coordinated effort is made by law enforcement officials, with the support of church, civic and political leaders in Oconee and Walton Counties and active coverage by journalists. 3) Given the questionable performance of local law enforcement in 1946 and alleged complicity by a state highway patrolman in the killings themselves, as well as decades of mistrust between lawmen and·African American residents here, outside assistance could build credibility for and cooperation with the investigation. 4) Because nearly sixty years have elapsed since these killings, many suspects, informants and cooperative individuals listed in the 1946 FBI report have died. Time is running out on opportunities to prosecute remaining suspects. 5) Consultants have advised that forensic and reportorial assistance was instrumental in bringing to re-trial all of the oldest civil rights murders in Alabama and Mississippi.

We encourage local law enforcement, FBI and GBI to actively seek new leads in this case. On April 1, 2005, the MFMC, together with the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials (GABEO) and Southern Truth and Reconciliation (STAR), hosted a public forum -When Justice Rolls Down: the Search/or Truth and Reconciliation at the Moore's Ford Bridge - at the Walton County Courthouse. Panelists Andrew Sheldon and William Fleming told how changing attitudes led to convictions in these historic civil rights era murders: citizens stepping foIWard with new evidence (the "miracle of sudden appearances") and the increased willingness of white jurors in the South to convict fellow whites of crimes against blacks if the evidence is there. Moreover, the United States Senate's recent apology for failing to enact antilynching legislation, discussion of a new federal task force to reexamine these crimes, community-based memorial efforts and initiatives all across the country suggest a seismic shift in America's attitudes toward these unsolved racial murders. The code of silence may finally be lifting. On July 25, the 59lh anniversary, GABEO and other civil rights groups hosted a dramatic Re-enactment of the Moore' s Ford killings before hundreds of Georgians and news media. This graphic portrayal, featuring speakers Reverends Jesse Jackson and Joseph Lowery and re-enactors from Walton County, made national news. Despite difficulties inherent in a sixty year old murder case, recent prosecutions in Alabama and Mississippi have heightened expectations of progress here in Georgia. The presence of so many local citizens from prominent families on the FBI's suspect list continues to fuel perceptions by some citizens that local law enforcement is not aggressively investigating this crime. We are also concerned that as a result of the graphic July 25 re-enactment, the continuing 60-year old conspiracy of silence and today's strong push for prosecution, tensions in both white and black communities in Walton County could increase. The Moore' s Ford Memorial Committee urges you as GBI Director and all parties to redouble their efforts to se·e k justice in this case, "the last mass lynching in America." We specifically ask that at least two full time officers be assigned to re-evaluate existing evidence and actively seek new leads. . We also ask that Mr. Fleming be assigned to this case to serve as liason with our committee and the wider community. In three long visits to Walton County, with his passion for Moore's Ford, Bill has won the confidence of our members. Although he asked that he not be given special consideration, we "This Lynching Must Not Be Forgotten!"

J. L. Nunnally Kirklyn Dixon Rich Rusk Michael Hill believe that his active involvement is essential. His presence would guarantee respect for and further cooperation with this investigation. It is essential that whatever the outcome - successful prosecution or stalemate - that the legal process be respected and accepted by all parties. We also ask that a special prosecutor be assigned to this case. Having met with Mr. Wynne on July 28, as well as GBI Special Agent Mike Pearson and Athens Agent in Charge Fred Stephens, we better understand the district attorney's situation - limited time and resources to handle many active cases, all demanding prosecution. We deeply appreciate Mr. Wynne's obvious respect for the law. But because he lacks the resources to focus heavily on Moore's Ford, and labors under suspicions of being an elected official in Walton County unwilling to prosecute in a murder case involving prominent, majority race suspects, a special prosecutor is called for. United States Attorney Doug Jones was assigned as special prosecutor to two 16th St. Church Bombing cases in Birmingham (four little girls) - State of Alabama vs Thomas Blanton (2000) and State of Alabama vs Bobby Cherry (2001) with great effect. We ask for special consideration in Georgia to supplement the efforts of our local district attorney. Although Alabama and Mississippi has successfully re-tried seven civil rights murder cases, Georgia is batting zero. Although the MFMC did not sponsor or ro-host the July 25 Re-enactment, we wish to thank Walton County Sheriffs Dept., Monroe Police and Georgia State Troopers for their professionalism in providing traffic and crowd control and security for this event. It was most impressive and much appreciated. Sincerely, Rev. J. L. Nunnally, MFMC Chairman Green Co Asst. Supt. of Schools. Michael Hill, Treasurer Public Defender, Dekalb Co.

GARRETI stated there were other people, onlookers, who were located at Moore's Ford Bridge that day. GARRETI stated that over the years, the only information he could obtain was that one of the four victims was a "colored man" who had stabbed a white man in the back with an ice pick. GARRETI told AGENT PEARSON that he thought the "colored man" was in the Walton County Jail because of the stabbing incident.

At this time, AGENT PEARSON informed GARRETT that information was received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that GARRETT possibly had in his possession a souvenir which was removed from the crime scene at Moore's Ford. GARRETT confirmed this information and informed AGENT PEARSON that he traveled to the Moore's Ford Bridge on the date following the incident (July 26, 1946). GARRETT remembered picking up a length of rope which had been apparently damaged by a bullet. GARRETT stated that after he picked up the rope, an unidentified man asked GARRETT for it. GARRETT stated he turned the item over to the unidentified man, who walked away with it. GARRETT further stated he observed a tooth located in a pool of blood at the crime scene. GARRETT stated he retrieved the tooth and kept it. When asked, GARRETT stated the victim's bodies were not located at the scene and had already been removed during the previous evening. GARRETT informed AGENT PEARSON that during the same week, he gave the tooth as a gift to a female he identified as MARTHA SUE O'KELLEY. GARRETT described MARTHA SUE O'KELLEY as the niece of HOKE O'KELLY, a local politician who GARRETT said ran for governor during a series of elections during that time period. According to GARRETT, MARTHA O'KELLEY had the tooth "shined" and she placed the tooth on a bracelet which she wore on her wrist as a good luck charm. When asked, GARRETT informed AGENT PEARSON that MARTHA O'KELLEY is now deceased and lived the better portion of her life in the State of Tennessee.

M., SPECIAL AGENT M. W. PEARSON was located at the residence of DONALD E. GARRETT in Loganville, Georgia. AGENT PEARSON previously received a tip from a concerned citizen that GARRETT was possibly in the possession of a tooth which was allegedly obtained from the crime scene located at the Moore's Ford Bridge which connected Walton and Oconee Counties. This tip was pertaining to the Moore's Ford massacre of 1946 in which four African-American citizens were killed by a reported lynch mob. AGENT PEARSON met with DONALD GARRETT for the purpose of corroborating the tip from the concerned citizen. Upon making contact with GARRETT, AGENT PEARSON was invited by GARRETT into his residence. AGENT PEARSON informed GARRETT that he was a Special Agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and desired to speak with GARRETT about the 1946 homicides at Moore's Ford Bridge. It was noted that GARRETT knew why AGENT PEARSON was at his residence before the announcement was made concerning the Moore's Ford incident. It should also be noted that GARRETT expressed his disagreement with officials that State time and resources be used to investigate a crime which occurred over a half-century ago. GARRETT explained to AGENT PEARSON that he graduated high school in Loganville, Georgia in 1943. GARRETT stated he served twenty-two months in the United States Navy from April, 1944 through February, 1946. Upon his completion in the armed services, GARRETT stated he received a check from the U.
