In fact, during seekNegroes have demonstrated at Chatta- ing integration of public and nunicipa dditi on to these demonstrations some of the public schools, Chattanooga, have been integrated during the fall oi 1962 and the fall of 1963. During these demon- strations and the integration oi those schools, JACK WILLIAM BROWN and other DK, KKKK, Inc., leaders at closed meetings of this organization, and on an individual basis, have in- structed members oi this organization to stay away from areas or demonstration by Negroes and schools whore inte- gration was occurring, not to participate in any d¢nonstra- tions or attempt to interfere with any Negro demonstrations, violence or advocate any acts of violence or become engaged in any arguments over above matters.

May I congratulate you and your men for the swift action taken in the murder oi the civil rights worker from Detroit.

4'; However, I am alarmed at certain aspects oi the case. These men deserve a fair trial just as any other American citizen does. Tm American judicial system remains vibrant only as long as it appl equally to ell. One is truly innocent until proven quilty. But,] I think that possibly the rights of these men to a fair trial has! "x been violated. 1 It wou 1d have been appropriate for the President to have announc< the arrest oi these men but it did not stop at that. Following tl announcement of their arrest he noted they were members of the K1; He then stated that the woman had been murdered by the enemies o1 freedom. He went on to denounce the KKK. By associating these n with the Klan and then going on to strongly denounce the Klan the P President has in effect given rise to guilt by association. This is e concept which should be outside of the law. Has not the Pres whose pronouncements carry such tremendous weight, somewhat prejuc thd bmerican public against these men? Can they receive a fair t1 I doubt lerioualy that they-can for the next few weeks if at any_ I I abhor violence and this murder is an act of ruthless and unmit; crime. I honestly hope that the person or persons responsible vi] -1..» <- u , .._- .'.,,.; "1;;.;.,92- .'_ ."._. ._, . be quickly brought to the bar ot justice. However, when brought 1 I'trust they may receive the same rights under the law that others receive.
