Young had left the apartment of
Sheriff Chester Holts on the lower

According to Nance, who wit-

separated the pair before either

them immediately to the office of
the justice of peace and filed
charges against them.
Meanwhile, the FBI has begun
compiling Information in con-

that Holts and other Orange
scanty officers tortured Paul
LaFleur and other prisoners In
their custody.
Galen Willis, FBI agent in
charge of the district office, told
The Associated Press that Young
contacted his office over the
weekend. Willis said no investi-
gation was underway but that he
was having his agents obtain “ad-
ditional information* from Young.
Willis said a full report on
Young’s charges will go to Wash-
ington for study and recommen-
dation by the Justice depart-
ment's Civil 'Rights section. He
said these recommendations will
determine whether an FBI in-
vestigation will be made.
