BAINBRIDGE, Ga., Sept. 3. — (AP) —"Four or five
white men, whom a well-to-do negro farmer ordered away
from his fish pond, shot him to death with rifles and shot
guns, Sheriff A, E. White reported today.

iff White he had gone with Riles
to the pond to fish late yesterday.
Gordon said the slayers were
strangers to him and left hurried
ly in two automobiles, one with
its license plate covered. |
The sheriff reported he was in
vestigating but had no clues, since
a county road scraper had erased
all tire tracks.
White said he believed the slay
ing was pre-meditated murder.
'He explained that four monihs
‘ago Riles’ home was blasted by
gunshots from an unidentified
automobile after he tried to keep
white men from fishing in his
pond. :
Near Bainbridge
k The negro was owner of a 200-
acre farm in Northeast Decatur
county, 14 miles from Bainbridge,
in Southwest Georgia.
A coroner’s jury held an in
quest into his death last night by
the flicker of flashlights. It found
‘he was slain by “unknown par
ties.”
The sheriff re-told Gordon’s ac
count ¢f the slaying as follows:
Riles, who feared his life was
in danger, carried a shotgun as he
and Gordon went to the fish pond.
They found two white men loung
ing under a tree, both armed,
Two other white men were on
the banks of the pond.~ One had
a string of fish.
Riles told the men the pond was
posted and they would have to
leave or pay so fish. They said
‘they did not know the pond was
postea and handed over the fish,
. A few minutes later, Gordon
hard shots, stood up and saw
four or five men shooting at Riles
as the latter ran across a clearing.
Riles did not return their fire,
Five minutes later, Gordon
| heard two more shots.
I He ran away but returned later
- with the sheriff and Riles’ wife,
They found Riles in a sitting posi
tion against the tree.
The Georga Bureau of Investi
gation was asked to aid in the
slaying investigation. !

PEEKSKILL, N. Y., Sept. 3.— (AP) —Governor Thomas
E. Dewey today ordered all available state police to the
Peekskill area tomorrow to guard against another riot
between war veterans and supporters of negro singer
Paul Robeson.
Robeson failed to appear at an
open-air concert last Saturday
when anti-Communist veterans
clashed with the Left-Wing sing

i..jured, but Robeson was inter

More than 380 local law en

those who abuse them.
He ordered Superintendent

to Peekskill to command the
troopers.
Robeson’s supporters arranged
for buses to carry adherents from
New York City.
The veterans said they would

Vcterans involved include a
number of units of the American
Legion and the Veterans of For
eign Wars, and one unit each of
the Catholic War veterans and the

Distric Attorney George Fanelli
and Sheriff Fred W. Ruscoe will
be held “strictly acccuntable,” he
said.
Ruscoe requested the additional
state troopers.

Around pylons and across
