- Text transcribed from caption: P-31073 ASSAULT VICTIMS ADDRESS PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY OKLAHOMA CITY - Two United Presbyterian clergymen, the Rev. Alexander Stuart of Oak Ridge, Tenn. (center) and the Rev. Geddes Orman of Knoxville, Tenn., described being attacked by a gun-wielding racist in Camden, Ala., to delegates to the 176th General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. They pose here with Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, left, chief executive officer of the denomination, which convened in Oklahoma City. The clergymen, who said they had gone to Alabama on ecclesiastical business, were accused by a man who broke into their hotel room of trying to “stir up” Negroes. The assailant beat Mr. Stuart with a shotgun, breaking the clergyman’s arm, and fired a pistol shot at the clergymen as they broke away and escaped in opposite directions.
