Attorney Expects Trial Of Reputed Klansman To Proceed

The attorney for Edgar Ray Killen says it appears there will be no more delays in the trial of the 80-year-old reputed Klu Klux Klansman.

Killen is charged with murdering three civil rights workers more than four decades ago. He continues to recover from a March 10th accident that has confined him to a wheelchair. The part-time preacher and sawmill operator from Union shattered both of his legs when a tree fell on him. He was hospitalized for a month. Killen's trial is scheduled for June 13th in Philadelphia.
