r alongside a piece of iron being discovered underneath lee s body by the same local authorities that coerced the witnesses testimony led to hurst being cleared of any wrongdoing however allen later told fellow activists the truth behind lee s killing he saw that hurst approached lee who had driven up in his truck and after a limited amount of discussion hurst aimed and shot his pistol at an unarmed lee he also discussed the incident with julian bond who encouraged him to tell his story to the fbi bond was aware that in the racially charged atmosphere of amite county allen was at high personal risk if it became known that he had talked to the bureau interviewed in 2011 bond said he lied at hurst s inquest because he was in fear of his life if he had implicated a powerful white man in a murder of a black man he was risking his life i tried to encourage him to tell the truth but you know it was like saying why don t you volunteer to be killed learning that a federal jury was to consider charges against hurst allen talked to the fbi and the united states commission on civil rights in jackson asking for protection if he testified an fbi memo reported that allen expressed fear that he might be killed but the justice department said it could not give him protection allen chose to repeat the official version of events which exonerated hurst harassment and murder edit although allen had not cooperated with the justice department rumors of his visit in jackson quickly spread among liberty s white community local whites shunned allen and cut off customers for his logging business 3 in august 1962 as allen and two other black men tried to register to vote at amite county courthouse they were shot at by an unknown assailant 4 no black person had been allowed to vote in amite county since 1890 5 following this incident a white businessman threatened allen saying louis the best thing you can do is leave your little family they re innocent people and your house could get burned down all of you could get killed 4 when allen reported the death threats the fbi which had limited jurisdiction over civil rights cases at the time referred the matter to sheriff jones s office the fbi did so despite an agent acknowledging in a 1961 memo that allen was to be killed and the local sheriff was involved in the plot to kill him 1 allen then allegedly became a target of harassment by jones in a later interview hank allen described jones as mean recounting how he arrested his father on trumped up charges and beat him outside his home on one such occasion in september 1962 jones broke allen s jaw with a flashlight 6 moses wrote to assistant attorney general john doar about allen making reference to a plot by the sheriff and seven other men 1 jones father was a high ranking exalted cyclops in liberty s chapter of the ku klux klan fbi documentation from the 1960s claimed that jones was also a klan member 1 when allen was released from jail he filed an assault complaint with the fbi against jones he summarily testified before an all white federal grand jury as blacks had been prevented from registering and voting they could not serve on juries the jury dismissed his complaint 1 allen stayed in liberty because he was caring for his elderly parents 7 among his associates was leo mcknight who had worked with him and twice tried registering to vote with him in february 1963 mcknight and his family died in a suspicious fire that local blacks believed was a murder 4 in november 1963 jones arrested allen again falsely charging him with bouncing a check and having a concealed weapon law enforcement officials threatened allen with three to five years in prison after three weeks the naacp raised the bail for allen 4 in january 1964 after his mother died allen arranged to leave liberty and move in with his brother in milwaukee wisconsin as he feared for his life 7 on january 31 the night before his planned departure allen was ambushed at the cattle grid at the border of his property he was killed by two shotgun blasts to the head his body was found by his son hank 4 hank disclosed in a 2011 interview that jones told hank s mother allen s widow that if louis had just shut his mouth he wouldn t be layin there on the ground 3 allen s death is mentioned in the first memoir of civil rights activist anne moody titled coming of age in mississippi when moody writes about reasons she should stay away from her family she mentions allen s murder 8 investigations edit no thorough investigation into allen s murder was conducted until 1994 that year plater robinson a history professor at tulane university began examining the case files robinson s research in the following years pointed to jones as a likely suspect in the killing in 1998 robinson conducted a tape recorded interview with rev alfred knox sr an elderly black preacher in liberty who reported that jones had recruited his son in law archie lee weatherspoon to kill louis allen when weatherspoon refused jones request to pull the trigger jones allegedly killed allen himself in 2007 the fbi reopened allen s case as one of a number of civil rights era cold cases it was examining its staff identified jones as the prime suspect as of 2011 update the fbi has been unable to collect enough evidence to prosecute 1 in april 2011 the cbs newsmagazine 60 minutes broadcast a report about the allen case correspondent steve kroft had traveled to liberty to interview local residents and was largely met with silence kroft interviewed jones on his property the elderly man denied killing allen but he declined to answer when asked about his alleged klan membership 1 legacy and honors edit bertha gober s song we ll never turn back memorialized lee s murder 9
