Eight accused conspirators were acquitted-one of them at the Government's request. Among those who went free was Neshoba's Sheriff Lawrence A. Rainey, although Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Doar charged that Klansman Rainey's inaction at the time of the murders clearly implicated him. The jury, which was hopelessly deadlocked much of the time and had to come back for a "supercharge" by Cox, could not agree on the guilt of three others. In their cases, the judge declared a mistrial, and although two of the trio freed on bond-Fundamentalist Minister Edgar...
...wait. Two uniformed men in a city police car informed them that the prospective victims had been released. Later they were told by men in a highway patrol car that the victims would be stopped somewhere down the highway by Deputy Sheriff Price, who, along with Neshoba Sheriff Lawrence Rainey, is now on trial...
...life in the slums. A Hall of Mirrors' three main characters slide along the rim of vagrancy in New Orleans. Rheinhardt is an alcoholic disk jockey who relies on soup kitchens for survival; his adoring girl friend has a look that makes cops mistake her for a prostitute; Rainey is a physically repellent welfare worker who gets chased off the streets by the very people he is trying to help. All three become ruinously involved with a right-wing tycoon who controls several top city officials and now wants to lead a cryptofascist "moral" crusade. Stone's theme...
Such action could scarcely come soon enough. Even if Great Lakes pollution ceased immediately and completely, Chemist Robert Rainey of Oak Ridge National Laboratory reports in a recent Science magazine article, it would still take the natural flow of water through the lakes a shockingly long time to purify them. Because they are relatively shallow, Lake Erie could purge 90% of its polluting wastes in about six years, Rainey calculates, and Lake Ontario in 20 years. But Lake Michigan would need 100 years to achieve the same degree of purity, and Lake Superior would not approach its pristine state until...
...Jackson, a federal grand jury charged 19 men, including Neshoba County Sheriff Lawrence Rainey and his chief deputy, Cecil Price, with conspiring to violate the civil rights of the three young civil rights workers-Andrew Goodman, 20, Michael Schwerner, 24, and James Chancy, 21, who were shot dead near Philadelphia, Miss., in 1964. In a separate indictment, the grand jury charged twelve men with conspiring to "intimidate, threaten, and coerce" Hattiesburg Farmer Vernon Dahmer, who died when his home was fire-bombed last year. One man, Sam H. Bowers Jr., 42, Imperial Wizard of the White Knights...
