Police and ambulance attendants wheel a wounded man to an

Atlanta shootout
More than one
may be charged
By STEVEN COLFORD
ATLANTA (UPl)—Atlanta po
lice, shaken by the afternoon
slaying of an officer during a
downtown shootout, said Tues
day night they anticipate more
than one person will be charged
in the murder.
Authorities refused to com
ment on how many persons
might have been involved in the
battle that left Ptl. Larry Bark
well dead, Sgt. Julius Derico
Jr. wounded, a suspected Black
Muslim dead and two other per
sons wounded.
Homicide detectives said they
already had charged 25-year-old
Johnny Lee Chambliss, one of
the wounded, with Barkwell’s
murder. The shooting followed
a shoving match between four
city policemen and five blacks
try to sell Black Muslim news
papers.
Lt. B. L. Neikirk, head of the
investigation, said he believed
other persons would be arrested
soon as a result of the midday
shooting in the city’s shopping
district.
“We believe there may be
some fugitives still at large and
anticipate some arrests,” Nei
kirk said. “It is very possible
there may eventually be more
than one person charged with
the murder.”

i man in nearby Powder Springs,
was one of four policemen who
tried to stop the paper vendors
from trying to force a woman
I to purchase a copy.
The officers stopped five
young black paper sellers and
i asked them to stop harrassing
passersby on the busy street
when, according the police chief
John Inman, “it erupted into a
shooting match.”
According to police and sev
eral eyewitnesses, one of the
vendors then seized the hip pis
tol of one of the policemen,
Sgt. C. Jackson, and began fir
ing.
After two volleys of some 12
shots, two policemen and three
others, including a department
store security guard, lay wound
ed in front of the Woolworth’s
store.
One witness, Mrs. Connie
Olsen, said she saw the men
sprawled in the doorway of the
store and a young girl huddled
over one wounded black man.

dead,” she said.
She said she tried to take

An Atlanta Policeman moves an unidentified man involved in
a gunbattle in downtown Atlanta to a police wagon. (UPI)
a crowd of people pressed into
the street, protesting that the
policemen were being taken
away before the others.
Police said they pursued sev

Caldwell accuses
his former aide
ATLANTA (UPI) - State La
bor Commissioner Sam Cald
well, defending himself for the
second time against charges of
campaign contribution infrac
tions, Tuesday accused a form
er aide of soliciting money from
state workers “for his own per
sonal benefit.”
Caldwell said J. T. Gregory,
fired as assistant labor commis
sioner in 1971, falsified expense
accounts, used state employes
for personal affairs and lied
about campaign contributions
allegedly made to Caldwell.
Caldwell said Gregory plotted
to “smear him” in the event
Gregory was dismissed from his
post.
The commissioner laid open
to newsmen a batch of docu
ments, including phone records,
copies of checks and other data
he claimed would enforce his
charges against Gregory.
While making his accusations,
Caldwell appeared before a fed
eral grand jury investigating
him for possible violations of
campaign controbution laws. He
was investigated earlier by the
son, whose pistol and badge dis
appeared during the battle, was
treated for mouth wounds and
released.
Police refused to identify the
slain paper salesman or the
wounded security guard, but
one witness said the guard was
shot after he apprehended one
of the fleeing gunmen.
A police spokesman said later
none of the men arrested or
wounded were believed armed.

Caldwell denied any wrong
doing in accepting campaign do
nations from state employes.
“If it is a violation of federal
law for me to accept voluntary
contributions, then I must ad
mit that I have violated this
law...and I share this guilt with
a long list of officials from the
federal, state and local levels
of government,” he testified.
