Washington County Sheriff

helped investigate the shooting,
“all the facts are not in” and
he would not reveal what he
had learned.
Ragsdale said one woman
was reported wounded. He said
he sent six more GBI agents to
join the three already probing
an earlier shooting in which a
white man was wounded follow
ing a reported dynamite attempt
at the home of a Negro leader.
Ragsdale was en route here to
supervise the investigation.
Maddox, speaking of a “very
tense situation” in this east-cen-
tral Georgia town, said, “unless
we do use a sufficient number
of people to preserve the peace,
some incident could happen to
blow the top off, and we’re not •
going to tolerate that.”
