Four Alabamians Held on Civil Rights Slaying Conspiracy
Four men described as Ku Klux Klansmen were arrested in Alabama on conspiracy charges in the highway ambush slaying of civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo near Big Swamp. Bond set at $50,000 each, with President Johnson announcing a stepped up campaign against the Klan. The detainees include Gary Rowe Jr. and three Fairfield or Birmingham area workers. Liuzzo, a Detroit mother of five, was shot on U.S. 80 between Montgomery and Selma. The case proceeds as U.S. District Attorney Macy Taylor notes potential further arrests under a long-standing rights statute. The arraignment is scheduled for April 13 in Birmingham.
