Johnson also is still considering" possible action against two Ku Klux Klan organizations. Earlier, Birmingham police and one Klan group were dismissed as defendants in the government's complaint, which grew out of vio lence which greeted a group ot biracial Freedom Riders in An niston, Birmingham and Montgom ery. Greyhound Supt. George E. Cru ilt of Birmingham testified about a telephone call he received from the President's brother after reg ular drivers refused to drive the bus from Birmingham to Montgom ery, saying they feared for their safety! Cruitt said the attorney general asked him if he couldn't get some one else to drive the bus, or drive it himself. Then, he continued, Ken nedy suggested he get a Negro driver if the regular white drivers wouldn't move it. After he told Kennedy no Negro drivers were available, the bus official said, Kenney commented: "Well, hell, you can look for one, can't you?" Several regular schedules were canceled before a Greyhound driv er finally brought the bus to Mont gomery. The Freedom Riders were at tacked at the Montgomery bus station by a jeering mob of white persons and about 20 persons were injured during the rioting.

All-Woman Jury In the selection of the jury, Fran co asked but a single question nf two jurors: whether or not they were frightened at or had any ani mosity toward logging trucks on the highway. An all-woman jury was selected after the only man on the jury was excused on a pre' emptory challenge by the state, The husbands of two of (he women jurors operate logging trucks. Deputy District Attorney Verden Hockett called a single witness, the weighmaslcr, John Allen Hin akcr. He testified the gross weight of Franco's truck was 89,200 pounds. Franco attempted to point out that the overweight was on the trailer only, and not on the truck as a whole. , The case was recessed when Franco's witness, A. D. Fox, the logger who cut the tree, was not in the court room, and an attempt was being made to find him. The massive log in question has been taken to the Fairgrounds for display purposes.
