Colonel testifies hold on Calley case at Ft Benning
Col. Jim Keirsey testified that high command placed a hold on Ft. Benning proceedings against Lt. William L. Calley Jr. for weeks. He said a Sept. 4 or 5 phone call from Third Army allowed local officials to proceed, with no higher echelon instructions after Sept. 5. The defense argues unfair influence, while the prosecution cites local command action from an Army investigation begun last April.
