Charlie Halleck is a true son of a state famed for its political gut fighting. By general tradition, an Indiana infant's first gurgles can be freely translated as: "I do not seek public office, but if in their wisdom the people see fit to elect me, then . . ."

...withdrawing? In Washington, Attorney General William P. Rogers explained that there was no federal jurisdiction, i.e., the lynchers had not crossed a state line. Parker had been abducted and killed in Mississippi-and prosecution belonged to the state. To help the state make its case, the FBI laid out the shocking story of what had happened. About 35 men had met at a farm outside Poplarville, but lynch justice was not their immediate aim.
