 A May 11 article in the "Chicago Defender", a popular black newspaper circulated throughout the South, recounted an interview with an anonymous white male from Poplarville, claiming to have personal knowledge that the charges against Parker were fabricated.The alleged witness claimed that the alleged victim, June Walters, was in fact having an affair with a local white man, and she went with him while her husband, Jimmy, was gone to get help to fix the car.When her absence was discovered before she returned, she concocted a rape and kidnapping story to shield her infidelity.
