...Klux Klan. Sure enough, a little more detective work led them to one James Lackey, 28, an Athens gas station attendant. According to U.S. authorities, Lackey confessed that he was in on the ambush and implicated three fellow Klansmen-Garage Owner Herbert Guest, 37, a short, fat gun fancier; textile Yarn Plucker Cecil Myers, 25, who strutted around Athens toting a pistol; Machinist Joseph Sims, 41, a quick-tempered segregationist who was arrested in March for flourishing a pistol during a Negro demonstration.

To trap and kill the birds, they would probably need an amendment to the state conservation law. A few do-it-yourselfers were reported baiting the pigeons with corn, then clubbing them to death with baseball bats. A more scientific and humane though admittedly long-range remedy was proposed by an ornithologist: let the city feed the pigeons all they will eat, but have the corn treated with chemicals that will make...
