FBI Enters Decatur County Bombing
BAINBRIDGE, Ga. - The Federal Bureau of Investigation Saturday had entered the dynamiting of the home of Decatur County Sheriff A E. White.
Although the Sheriff was unable immediately to give a reason for the violent action, he expressed belief that it may have been a warning because of the case he will take before the Grand Jury Monday. That case involves the slaying of Hollace Riley near his farm pond four months ago. A group of white men reportedly ambushed Riley after he ordered them off his farm.
