- OF 16th STREET BAPTIST CHURCH,

Le BOMBING MATTERS a an
SAC Faisst telephonically advised me that Al Lingo,
: Director of Public Safety of Alabama, has been quoted in the papers
as stating that the bombers (of captioned church) will eventually be
caught due to:
(1) large reward outstanding,
(2) that investigators for the State have
never ceased their efforts,
(3) that since the cache of the 137 sticks of
dynamite was recovered and three
individuals charged with the possession,
there have been no further bombings, and,
(4) State investigators expect to develop a ,
confession from one of the defendants. aan

|
It should be noted that the defendants are prime suspects who
were arrested by the Alabama Highway Patrol for possession of the
dynamite when the State Patrol found out that we were concentrating our
\} efforts on them. The State had no concrete evidence against them. The
defendants are Charles; le, Robert;Chambliss, and John Wesley "Nigger"
