...Garden City police found the other bodies: Wife Bonnie in an upstairs bedroom, Herb Clutter and his son Kenyon in the basement. The killers had murdered coolly, systematically. They had bound their victims hand and foot with nylon cord, gagged Nancy with a scarf and the others with two-inch-wide adhesive tape. Then, one by one, they had slaughtered the Clutters, shooting each in the face with a shotgun held a few inches away. Before or after shooting Herbert Clutter, the murderers had cut Clutter's throat. Whatever terrible rage seethed inside them, the killers had kept their...
CIVIL RIGHTS To the Roots Attorney General William P. Rogers, heavily occupied with civil rights legalisms during his two-year tenure, last week angrily tongue-lashed the Mississippi grand jury that ignored evidence uncovered by the FBI after the lynching of Mack Charles Parker last April (TIME, Nov. 16).

The crime: extortion of hush money from butchers who cheated their customers...
...Every Sunday the Clutters took two neighboring farmers' teenage daughters to the Methodist Church in Garden City, seven miles from the Clutter farm. When the two girls knocked on the door of the Clutter house on Sunday morning last week, nobody answered. The only explanation they could think of seemed comically out of character: the normally early-rising Clutters had overslept. Finding the door open, the two girls went inside, ambled upstairs to wake Nancy. At the top of the stairs, they froze: Nancy was lying on her bed, her hands tied behind her back, her face mangled...
