Another informer, veteran Meridian police Sgt. C. Wallace Miller, has testified the Klan burned down a Negro church to lure Schwerner to Philadelphia on June 21, 1964. The three civil rights workers were arrested for speeding while driving through Philadelphia.

Chester Prosise of the county sheriffs department identified the gunman as John Gill, 26, a 5-foot-7, 132-pound ex-convict who previously served terms in Menard State Prison in Chester for "everything under the sun." Gill, who Prosise said has served time in prison for rape, attempted murder and robbery, was wanted for questioning on other charges, the officer said. Prosise said Deputy Hosea Gines, off duty, apparently frightened the gunman in a drinking place called the Hondo Lounge just before midnight, was shot repeatedly with a pistol and was taken to SU Mary's Hospital in critical condition. Before Gines was wounded, the officer said, the gunman apparently made a deadly strike at a body shop fatally wounding two young men who worked there.
