Lingo served as director of the Alabama Department of Public Safety from 1963 to 1965. In the letter he discusses the book Jones is writing about the governor, which blames Lingo for the violence that occurred in Selma on March 7: "You know as well as I that my original plan was to permit the demonstrators to march - as far as they could. You and I both know orders from the Governor's Office changed my original plan and we both know it was the Governor who went on statewide television to announce to the people of Alabama that the march would be stopped." Lingo threatens to sue Jones if his book makes the accusation. |
