Arrest Third White Man In Birmingham Inquiry
The Birmingham inquiry reports arrest of John W Hall 36 of Gardendale for illegal possession of dynamite with a $300 bond. Robert E Chambliss 59 arrested earlier was freed on $300 bond after habeas corpus hearing. Charles Cagle 22 remained jailed on the same charge awaiting a hearing. Authorities found 133 sticks of dynamite in a wooden crate near North Birmingham as part of the bombings probe. The Rev Fred Shuttlesworth criticized the investigation as a sham while noting disparity in bond amounts and demanding federal involvement. Presidential advisors planned more talks amid the case developments.
