Man testifies on murder of Ben White by Ku Klux Klansmen
James L. Jones, 56, told authorities he watched Klan members Claude Fuller and Ernest Avants murder 65 year old Ben Chester White on a road near Pretty Creek. Jones, who turned state's evidence, said White screamed before being shot and his testimony ties Fuller and Avants to the crime amid HUAC findings. Authorities have not determined a motive.
