My Father and Atticus Finch (24 page)
Finally, thanks to my high school classmate Dr. James Vickery, for putting me in touch with his Troy State University colleague Ed Stevens. Ed helpfully found and sent me a copy of the list of potential jurors and spoke with his Troy lawyer friends, who confirmed
that all the lawyers and judges practicing at the time were deceased and that there was nothing else in the court files.
Permissions to reproduce the Carver letter, the lines from Congressman Lewis's book, and the excerpts from the Troy and Montgomery papers were all graciously granted.
