Ex-Klan leader denied bond during appeal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSON, Miss. -- A former Ku Klux Klan leader convicted of manslaughter for orchestrating the 1964 murders of three civil rights workers has again been denied bond while he appeals his case.
Edgar Ray Killen was convicted of three counts of manslaughter on June 21 - exactly 41 years after James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman were killed while working in Neshoba County to register black voters.
The case shocked the nation, helped spur passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was dramatized in the 1988 movie "Mis
sissippi Burning."
Killen, an 80-year-old former preacher and saw
mill operator, was sentenced to 60 years in prison. The Mississippi Supreme Court said Thursday that his motion seeking to reinstate his bond "is not well taken and should be denied."
Killen initially was granted bond but it was revoked in September on grounds that he had misrepresented medical problems to the court. The state in seeking to keep Killen in jail argues that he is a danger to the community.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The cruelty of our enemies should make us more determined than ever to help this brother...please write to him at the address below and let him know he is not forgotten.
This 80 year old soldier deserves a medal as a Christian, a patriot and a spokesman for the white
race
-not
a jail cell. Please consider donating to his prison fund-any amount you can give will be appreciated.
The correct way to get funds directl
y to Rev. Killen's prison fund account
is to send a postal--or Western Union--money order to:
M.S.D.O.C.
P.O. Box 544
Jackson, Mississippi 39205
You must mark on the face of the money order:
Edgar Ray Killen
# 112906
This can be verified by calling (601) 359-6179 and asking on how to get
funds into a prisoners account.
Lets not let an old soldier languish in prison alone and without funds for his personal needs.
Those wishing to write letters of encouragement to Mr. Killen may write him directly at:
