He had been shot to death. Within a week, police officers had shot and killed four people in the Algiers area — a man they said pulled a knife on them, and two male suspects and a girl friend of one who allegedly fired first when police staged a predawn raid on a residence. Four men — Clarence Green, Ervin Hughes, Robert Davis and Johnny Brownlee — told federal authorities they were taken in for questioning and suffered lengthy interrogations and beatings. The seven defendants are officer Stephen Reboul, homi cide division Commander Sgt. John McKenzie, and Detectives Dale Bonura, Ronald Brink, Stephen Farrar, Thomas Woodall and Richard LeBlanc. All seven were charged with conspiracy, a felony carrying a maximum penalty on conviction of 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Bonura was named on three counts of depri vation of rights, a misdemeanor that could lead to one year in prison and a $ 1,000 fine. Reboul was charged with one count of deprivation of rights and the other five were charged with two counts each. No charges have ever been re turned in Neupert’s slaying or in the deaths of the four Algiers residents.
