U.S. Grand JuryRefuses To IndictIn Lynching CaseBILIXO, Miss. (UPI)- A federal Grand Jury today refused to indict anyone in the lynching of Negro Mack Charles Parker.The Grand Jury reported to Judge Sidney Mize that it had considered all evidence and was unable to arrive at any true bill.”The decision apparently means the slayers of the young Negro will escape punishment and remain anonymous. State action in the case was virtually ruled out two months ago when a Pearl River County Grand Jury did not return any indictments in the case.Parker was dragged from the county jail at Poplarville, Miss., by a group of masked, gloved men two days before he was to go on trial on charges of raping a pregnant white woman. His bullet-riddled body was found later in the Pearl River, 20 miles away.hlt;sititJa
