Ruston Louisiana October 14 District Judge B L Walker said he would convene a special grand jury session to investigate the lynching of R C Williams a 19 year old black man after a mob dragged him from a building and hanged him from a tree in a case tying to the death of RE Bilsh a 30 year old mill foreman.
