Racist former governor
hammers away at Carter
THE BATTALION Page 11
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1980
Mistrial ruled in murder
United Press International
ATLANTA — Lester Maddox, an old-style racial seg
regationist who preceded President Carter as governor
of Georgia and then served under him as an adversary
lieutenant governor, was in an expansive mood.
“There’s not a better campaigner in the world than
Jimmy Carter but he’s not heavy enough to do the job, ”
said the former international symbol of resistance to the
civil rights movement.
“Carter is a lightweight,” said Maddox, grinning, en
joying an opportunity to say that the president is “mean
and vicious.”
“He has an ugly attitude. He’s cold. He’s dishonest. A
lot of this has come out during the campaign. ”
Maddox, a Democrat, said before the election he
would vote for Republican Ronald Reagan.
It probably also should be said that nobody much
listens anymore to Maddox, now 65, ailing and down on
his luck.
Things were different in 1966 when racial confronta
tion put the colorful and controversial restauranteur in
the governor’s chair.
The balding bicyclist, who did a lot of public pedaling
before anyone talked about an energy crisis, was sworn
in just two years after American television viewers
watched with outrage or approval as he brandished a
pistol and chased three black ministers from his down
town Atlanta restaurant.
The self-described “watchdog for the little people”
leased his restaurant — at a loss of $500,000, he said —
rather than integrate it.
To his critics, Maddox was the silliest man ever to sit
in the governor’s chair. To his supporters, he was a fiery
advocate of personal and states’ rights.
Things went wrong for Maddox after his stint as
lieutenant governor. He was defeated in two subse
quent political ventures and in a couple of attempts to
get back into selling his skillet-fried chicken.
Despite a heart attack two years ago that almost killed
him, he even tried show business with a night club act
dubbed “The Governor and the Dishwasher.”
His partner in that venture was a black ex-convict
named Bobby Lee Fears.
“I think Bobby Lee’s back in jail now, ” Maddox said in
an interview at his real estate office, which was empty
except for the interviewer and the former paper boy and
factory worker who became governor.
“I was happiest when I was a successful business
man,” said Maddox, a non-smoking, teetotaling staunch
Baptist. “In those days I had plenty of time for my family
and my church.”
He said he has no plans to get back into politics or the
restaurant business.
“I left public service owing more than $60,000 in
campaign debts,” he said. “That was more than my
salary in the job. ”
Of his financial situation now, he said, “It’s still ter
rible.”
He laughed when he said it and added, “Things are
picking up a little now. Business comes in spurts.”
Maddox said his views on race have not changed over
the years.
“People ought to have the right not to integrate if they
choose not to integrate, ” he said, but he boasted that he
had appointed more blacks to state posts than any of his
predecessors.
Maddox said Carter gained strength in the South “by
telling people Lester is a friend of mine. ”
Maddox is disappointed that his friend, former Alaba
ma Gov. George Wallace, supported Carter and en
dorsed the Democratic platform.
He said that although Wallace should have known
better, “George will always be a friend of mine.”
“Carter has surrounded himself with smart alecs
rather than smart people,” Maddox said. “Reagan is
“He (Carter) has an ugly attitude.
He's cold. He's dishonest. A lot of
this has come out during the
campaign," Maddox said.
sincere, for real, but he’s really not an in-depth thinker.
But I think he’s willing to admit mistakes and call on
others to help him.”
Maddox said his health still is good enough to walk to
the capitol to visit with old friends, which he said was a
seven-mile round trip from his modest real estate office.
“I’m still welcome up there,” he said.
While he was in the governor’s mansion, Maddox’s
oldest son was arrested for burglary.
“It was a painful thing,” Maddox told newsmen with
tears in his eyes. “I turned him over and I could see his
little old head sitting up in the back of the (police) car as
they drove off.”
The poignancy of that remark moved even some of
those who believed Maddox was the silliest man ever to
sit in the governor’s chair.
Since Maddox has no plans to get back into the fried
chicken business, he was willing to share a secret.
“You have to pan fry it,” he said. “Don’t deep fry it.
Each piece has to be put in the pan — skin side down
first. Never submerge the chicken in the fat. You have to
fry each piece by hand. It takes more labor and fuel than
these fast-food methods, but it’s worth it.”
The phone rang only twice during the interview.
Neither caller wanted to buy any real estate.

WICHITA FALLS — A Wichita
County prosecutor said Wednesday
there would be no strategy changes
in the retrial of a woman who claims
she was insane when she carved the
heart out of her 4-year-old daughter.
District Attorney Tim Eyssen said
he spoke with Judge Keith Nelson
about a retrial but no date was set.
Patricia Ann Frazier, 25, who said
her daughter was possessed by de
mons, was returned to the county jail
after a seven-man, five-woman jury
Tuesday concluded MVz hours of de
liberation by ruling it could never
unanimously determine if she was
insane when she killed her daughter.
After a 10-2 vote in favor of convic
tion, Nelson declared a mistrial.
“I don’t have any idea when the
case will be reset,” Eyssen said. “I
guess it would be the first of the year.
“It’s doubtful that we (prosecu
tors) will do much different. We’ve
talked to some of the jurors and were
satisfied with the way the trial went. ”
Frazier was charged with the
slaying and mutilation of her daugh
ter, Khunji Wilson, who was found
on the front seat of a car in F ebruary.
Her heart had been cut out and was
found nearby, wrapped in a wash
cloth.
Lerew said Frazier was insane,
that she had killed her daughter in an
exorcism rite believing demons lived
in the child. Eyssen told jurors that
the insanity claim was a ruse because
Frazier wanted to be free of the
child.

at the Reagan victory party after the
primary election. That time, Hoits
ma said, he took a call at the Villa
Capri Motel from a person with a
foreign accent who told him, “you’d
better leave the hall or you’ll be
blown to bits at 9:30.”
On that occasion, and again Tues
day night, the victorious Republi
cans left the party for a short time
while the ballrooms were searched.
In neither case was there a bomb.
Mark Heckmann of the Reagan
campaign said, “I wouldn’t begin to
speculate about the political affilia
tion of who did it. I wouldn’t accuse
the Democrats and I wouldn’t ac
cuse anybody else.”
