Freed of taking part in Negro's death in Fairmont case
A grand jury probing the shooting of Daniel Washington near Fairmont failed to implicate the local Ku Klux Klan or its members. Indictments were returned against R. C. Brown, a former barber, and his wife Ollie Brown, in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors say Brown was a Klan member at the time, while Rev. Jones and Klansmen denied official membership.
