time of the conferences you recommended with U. 8. Attorney and
Solicitor for the 10th Judicial Circuit in Alabama,

NOTE: Birmingham suggests conferences with the U. 8, Attorney
and the local solicitor in regards to prosecution of the prime suspectS
in this matter either in Federal or State Court. If tried in Federal
Court, it would be under Title 18, U. S. Code, Section 241 (Civil Rights
Statute) and in local court the trial would be on a charge of murder, The
only information received indicating the prime suspects are responsible
for the bombing is information received from two informants concerning
M isolated statements made by differenge suspects which would indicate
