The skin was bleached by the sun and water. At the time Parker was seized from his jail cell, the river was from heavy rains. The spot where the body was found is about 20 miles from Pop-larvllle, seat of Pearl River County. Parker was seized shortly after midnight from an unguarded third floor jail cell by nine or 10 masked, white-gloved white men. They beat him savagely and dragged him head first down three flights of stairs to a waiting car.

Parker was awaiting trial on charges of raping a pregnant young white woman who lived un til recently at Bogalusa. Rogers announced that FBI agents and officers of the Missis- the body of Mack Charles Parker, the prisoner who was forcibly re moved from the Pearl Rivtr County Court House Jail at Pop- lrviiie, April 25, 1959. Authorities held a belief from the day of the abduction a week ago last Saturday that Parker was slain by the lynch mob and his body thrown into the river. Au thorities also theorized, that the lynchers came from Louisiana, The only witnesses to the abduction were other prisoners and one fanner who was walking by the jail. But no one could supply any clues to the identity of the mob members.

It was one of the few lynchings in the South in recent years and touched off widespread reaction across the world. At least 40 FBI men set up headquarters at Poplarville and have questioned hundreds of persons in their relentless investiga tion. The finding of the body was the first possible break in the case. The Justice Department and the White House have been informed regariy throughout the invest-Ration. Gov.

Coleman, who asked that the FBI enter the case, has promised the mob members will be punished to the full extent of the law. Parker was to go on trial on the Monday following his kidnap ing.

Still unconvinced, Mr. Brislin went to Bradshaw and gathered information which led to the implication of four labor leaders In a conspiracy to dynamite the Ruby property.
