Burton was retained by the
Albany Herald newspaper to
review the investigation of the
January 25, 1971 death of farm
laborer Harrison Mobley Jr, 31.
Williford said then he killed
Mobley during a struggle as
Mobley was trying to escape
the sheriff’s car while being
taken to the county jail after
his arrest for the murder of 64-
year-old Maude Howell in her

The national group said the
dam, formerly known as the
Trotter Shoals project, will
destroy 9,000 acres of game
management area in the state
and result in the destruction or
takeover of some 60,000 acres
in South Carolina and Georgia.
The proposed dam would be
built on the Savannah River
between the Clark Hill Reser
voir and Lake Hartwell.

Albany Herald State Editor
Charles Postell said he did not
believe the sheriff’s story and
hired Burton because of “his
excellent reputation.” He said
Williford had “long been
considered antagonistic to
blacks and this was just too
much.” Mobley was black.
Burton said he reviewed the
State Crime Lab autopsy report
and photographs taken by the
lab’s director Dr. Larry How
ard of the car the sheriff’s car,
but was struck by a lack of
information on the death.
Howard has said he had
“reservations” about the lab’s
autopsy report which did not
specify the exact matter of
death.
“As far as we know, the only
written records are articles in
the local paper giving the
sheriff’s account,” Burton said.
“There is no formal report.”
He also said there was “no
record on file” relating to the
Mobley death at Georgia

Rep. Aspin wants copies ,
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., has
asked Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to give him
copies or summaries of 29 secret agreements he said the
United States had made with other governments.
Aspin said Sunday the agreements, made secretly since
August, 1972, cover atomic energy, weapons storage and
defense.
He asked Kissinger, under the Freedom of Information
Act, to provide copies of each agreement or at least an
unclassified summary.
The congressman said the secrecy violates the U.N.
charter calling for the publication of international
agreements of members and seems to violate U.S. laws.
