THE NATCHEZ DEMOCRAT
NATCHEZ - A former Mississippi sheriff's deputy has been charged in connection with the 1964 civil rights killing of Charles Moore of Meadville.
David Ridgen, a documentary producer who has worked on a film on the case, confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the family had been notified of charges facing James Ford Seale of Roxie.
Ridgen was traveling with Thomas Moore, Charles' brother.
The Associated Press is reporting that officials close to the case confirmed the existence of an indictment against Seale. The document is under court seal.
Charles Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee were found in the Old River south of Tallulah, La., in July 1964. They had apparently been lured into the woods by Klansman in May where they were tied to trees and beaten.
