3 Griffin
men under
indictment
The Pike County Grand Jury
yesterday returned indictments
against three young Griffin men
who are accused of shooting and
beating Gary “Whitey”
Harrison, 24, of 217 South 11th
street, a guard at the Georgia
Diagnostic Center in Jackson,
who they allegedly thought was
an undercover narcotics agent.
The trio, William H. Folds, 22,
of 1717 Ridge street, Mark
Anderson Myers, 21, of 218 West
Chappell street, and Phillip
Charles Statham, 20, of 539
South Hill street, were indicted
for aggravated assault and
aggravated battery. The Grand
Jury finished about 6 p.m.
yesterday.
Their cases are expected to
come up next week in the
criminal session of Pike
Superior Court.
Pike Sheriff J. Astor Riggins
said that Folds and Myers
remain in the Pike jail. Statham
posted SIO,OOO bond and is
presently in the Veterans
Hospital in Atlanta, he said.
Harrison was brought to the
Griffin-Spalding Hospital on the
morning of Sept. 22 with gun
shot wounds in the shoulder and
hip and cuts and bruises.
He told lawmen the three
suspects whom he considered to
be his friends, had taken him to
a lonely dirt road in Pike County
where they held a knife at his
throat, tied his hands behind his
back, then beat and shot him. _
He said he jumped into some
dense underbrush where he
eluded his attackers until
daylight. He then caught a ride
to Williamson and reported the
incident.
The three suspects were
arrested in Griffin later in the
day and taken to the Pike jail.

Judge Winn critical
of Bolton’s case probe
ATLANTA — Judge Dan 1
Winn of the Tallapoosa Circuit
accused Atty. Gen. Arthur i
Bolton of conducting “the most i
pitiful and unfair investigation”
of a case involving the release i
of convicted drug dealer.
He made the charge in a six- i
page letter to the attorney
general.
The case involved the release
of Wayne C. Walton of
Tallapoosa. He was released
from prison at the request of
Judge Winn after being con
victed of selling pep pills.
The attorney general con
cluded that Judge Winn and the
local district attorney had some
“extraordinary and compelling
reason” to get Walton released.
“You saw fit to malign the
court, the district attorney and
also Donald Howe, Jr., (defense
lawyer) while almost hiding in
your opinion that the procedure
was legal,” Judge Winn com
plained.
“Neither you nor the
governor nor anyone investigat
ing this on behalf of you had the
fairness of approach to talk to
me, District Attorney John
Perren or Donald Howe, Jr.,
concerning the case,” the judge
said.
Walton pleaded guilty Jan. 5
to possession and sale of am
phetamine pills and was sen
tenced by Judge Winn to three
years and later revoked
Walton’s probation in another
drug case.
In August, Judge Winn or
dered the release of Walton but
state prison officials refused.
Later Judge Winn ordered
Walton brought to his court in
Cedartown to serve as a witness
in another case.
Walton was returned to Polk
County at Cedartown where
Judge Winn ordered the sheriff
to release him.
A new trial was granted
Walton and it was held at
Douglasville under Judge Winn
Sept. 21. Itlasted a few minutes.
Walton pleaded guilty to
possession and sale of stimulant
drugs and was sentenced this
time to probation.
Judge Winn said he had
discussed the Walton case with
members of the State Board of
Pardons and Paroles at the
outset and had been promised
the board would honor the
release order.
Judge Winn said he felt
Walton was a proper risk now.
He said Walton was out of the
truck stop business now, was
working and doing fine. The
judge said he trusted he had not
made a mistake in him.

Hospital
addition
is nearer
Hopefully ground will be
broken early next year to begin
construction on addition to the
Griffin-Spalding Hospital. This
was the report the hospital
authority received at its
-monthly meeting last night.
Carl Ridley, administrator,
reported that bids might be
received by the end of this year.
The addition will mean 66
more beds for the hospital,
bringing its capacity to 229.
The authority authorized
installation of some speed
breakers on the southside of the
hospital. Mr. Ridley said the
move was a precaution against
a possible speed problem.
The authority approved
routine purchase of hospital
supplies and equipment.
GOT CARRIED AWAY
STROOD, England (UPI) -
Magistrates fined Peter Morten
$58.75 Monday for jumping into
a racing car at the Brands
Hatch track and zooming
around the course to the cheers
of other spectators.
Morten said he hopped into
the unattended car and gunned
it onto the trade after he got
carried away by the excitement
of the race.
