Bodies Found In Mississippi River Tie Up Search
Two decomposed bodies bound with rope were found in the Mississippi River near Tallulah Louisiana and were thought to be two missing Negro men from Meadville Mississippi last May 25. Authorities noted headless remains make identification difficult and did not rule out the possibility they are among three missing civil rights workers. The second body found Monday by state agents was brought to Jackson for examination. Rope on the torso and legs was reported, with one body tentatively identified as Charles E Moore, 19, a Negro student from Alabama.
