Caption from the Associated Press reads, "TAKES FIFTH AMENDMENT---Mrs. Lannie Linton, registrar of voters in Claiborne Parish, refused to answer questions from the U.S. Civil Rights Commission about voting records in the north Louisiana parish. She pleaded the Fifth Amendment. Dist. Atty. Fred L. Jackson of Homer, La., gave the commission a statement in which Mrs. Linton claimed the hearing was similar to Cuban Premier Castroís public trials for Cuban patriots. The commission excused Mrs. Linton and later ened its probe into alleged discrimination against Negro voters in Louisiana." (AP Wirephoto 1961)
