Attalla Synagogue Bomber, Nazi Aide Dies In Crash
A self styled Nazi youth awaiting grand jury action for a March 25 attack on Temple Beth Israel fired a shotgun to draw attention, drove a taxi in a circle, then crashed. Jerry Hunt, 17, was killed, having admitted throwing a fire bomb at the synagogue and firing on congregants Alan Cohn and Ivin Lowi as they fled. He had Nazi souvenirs and once tried to organize a Hitler club at school.
