United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI)—The law
maker who led the successful
fight against the seating of
Julian Bond to the Georgia
House of Representatives plans

testing the re-election of the No

Rep. Jones Lane of Statesboro
said he would come to Atlanta
to file the contest as soon as
the election results are certi

seat In the House because of
his statements on Viet Nam
and draft card burning last
month, was re-elected Wednes
day without opposition.
He received about 700 votes
In a special 136th district elec

ty spokesman said the county
court should certify the results
within a couple of days.
The resolution also states that
a meeting of the standing
House rules committee would
then be called to act on the
challenge. The rules committee
would at that time decide
whether Bond should be seat
ed until the full House is able
to rule next session.
“I don’t know how they (the
rules committee) will rule,”
Lane said. “But I would think
they would uphold the con
test.”
The special election was a
hollow victory for Bond since
he was elected only for this
year and the General Assembly
has already adjourned. He must
run again in the September pri
mary and the November gen
eral election to be seated in the
1967 assembly session.
Bond has appealed to the
U. S. Supreme Court a recent
federal court decision which up
held the House action which
barred him from his seat.
"If the Supreme Court rules
against me, it would be foolish
for me to keep running for of
fice,” Bond told newsmen. He
predicted, however, that he
would win his court battle
against what he called a “white
man’s trick.”
Bond repeated his stand that
he was rejected by the House

At Center

worshippers crowded Into a

Wednesday for the South’s first

lic Church Lenten mass.
"I think it’s going to be well
received,” said Archbishop Paul
J. Hallinan of the Atlanta Dio

along with Father Noel Burten

diocese.
The mass was the first in the
present 404ay Lenten season
and will be conducted five days

fore Easter in the auditorium
of the Lenox Square shopping
center.
Hallinan said that to his
knowledge bringing Catholic
Church services to the people
has not been attempted in this
country before except in Boston.
He said he believed the Atlan

kind in the South.
Burtenshaw, who

mostly women, said that despite
recent changes in church

changed or become easier

difficult because the church no

Mossier Trial Becomes
Battle Of The Convicts
By H. D. QT7IGG
United Press International
MIAMI (UPI) —The Mossier
murder Jury comes back today
for more of the battle of the
convicts. The defense is produc
ing an array of Jailbirds to
discredit the testimony of the
previous array of jailbirds
produced by the prosectuion.
The all-male Jury is being
asked to assess one wild story
against another wild story—and
some of the story tellers on
both sides are the basest sort
of criminals.
On tap today is one Wally
Mendez to say that what one
Billy Frank Mulvey told him In
the Harris County (Houston,
Tex.) Jail does not Jibe at all
with what Mulvey said as a
prosecution witness.
Mulvey has become the most
maligned character in the
entire case as far as his
personal integrity is concerned.
A parade of witnesses has said
they wouldn’t believe him
under oath.
Melvin Lane Powers, 29, and
his aunt, Candy Mossier, 46,
are 1964, charged slaying with here the June 3o[
of Candy’s
multimillionaire husband,
Jacques Mossier, 69. The state
produced Mulvey and four
other men with records to
testify one or the other of the
defendants tried to hire them to
kill the financier.
Mulvey, a 21-time convict.
narcotics addict and informer,
had told the Jury Candy had
given him a $7,000 down
payment in 1962 to have her
husband killed and that two
years later he, .Mulvey, was in
Jail with Powers and the latter
confessed stabbing Mossier to
death.
