The only incident of violence that he can recall was in 1957 when he went to a nursing home in the 2300 block of North College in Indianapolis and witnessed a beating by Agnes Jones, the adopted daughter of Jimmy Jones.

[First five lines providing identifying information heavily redacted] He has also recently been employed in Toledo, Ohio at Louisville, Kentucky. [Name deleted] he was never a member of the Peoples Temple and last saw Jim Jones in the early 1960s. He would not categorize Jones as a friend; however, he stated that they were roommates at Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana and met in January, 1949. They had a basic personality conflict which culminated in Jones’ sticking hat pins through a mattress into [Name deleted] and a subsequent confrontation with the dormitory counselor at the time.
[Name deleted] Jones was maladjusted and had great swings in his personality and was not a person of very high integrity. As an example, [Name deleted] an instance when Jones took an economics test and left after 20 minutes, later trying to tell the economics professor that he never took the test. This to [Name deleted] was a clear indication of a lack of integrity on Jones’ part. Jones would frequently cite chapters in the Bible regarding faith healings and his whole approach to religion was to control the minds of minorities and weak individuals and to use the downcast and the downtrodden for his own power and glory. Jones could not deal with people in a straightforward businesslike fashion.
[Name deleted] no information regarding any murders, assassinations or suicides by Peoples Temple members and he did not know of any of Jones’ followers who traveled from Indiana to California.

[First four lines providing identifying information heavily redacted] [Name deleted] advised that he knew the Reverend Jimmy Jones very well from a period of about mid-1950s through the late 1960s. Jones aspired to know all about church groups and frequently would come to [Name deleted] and ask questions regarding how to motivate people and how to control church groups. [Name deleted] described Jones as an emotional paradox who was legitimately and sincerely interested in the plight of the poor and underprivileged when he first began his ministry. He was also very impressed with the communal socialistic society. [Name deleted] did note a change come over Jones after Jones’ visit with a Father Devine [Divine] in New York City. Jones returned believing that he was a little god and began making demands upon his parishioners for their total family possessions. [Name deleted] this was wrong and that he would ultimately have great difficulty with his church if he should continue to demand the personal belongings of individuals. [Name deleted] disappointed and surprised by the appointment of Mayor Charles Boswell of Jones to the Mayor’s Human Rights Commission in Indianapolis. [Name deleted] did not feel that Jones was qualified for this position and felt that Jones was not worthy of such. [Name deleted] he is convinced that Jones used a cover story stating that Indianapolis was not racially in tune with his preachings and desires in leaving, while the real story was the fact that Jones was receiving considerable pressures from families of those parishioners who had sold their properties and donated their entire life savings to his church. Just before Jones left Indianapolis, [Name deleted] heard of incidents of beatings of parishioners for violations of confidences that they had bestowed or that Jones had bestowed with them. Jones took advantage of his confidences and the confidence of the people that he ministered to.

[2 lines deleted] He was going with his future wife [Name deleted] at the time, and the only way that he could date [Name deleted] was if he attended Rev. Jimmy Jones’ church then located at 975 North Delaware Street in Indianapolis. In the early 1970s, he and his wife and four children went to California and settled in the Redwood Valley area where he worked for [employer deleted] and they established residence at [3 lines heavily redacted] In Washington, DC, he recalls that they visited with a California Congressman whose name he does not recall, and as a result of the visit, Jimmy Jones gave the entire political support and votes of the Peoples Temple parishioners to this Congressman. Jones told the people how to vote, and inasmuch as he demanded total obedience, they did vote as he wished. [Name deleted] left the Peoples Temple because he was tired of being harassed into giving everything that he had and everything he could get and everything he could scratch up, which was the Jones theory of ministry. [Name deleted] and their four children remained in California and eventually went to Guyana, South America. [Name deleted] furnished the following names of individuals who he knew well as counselors and assistant pastors while he was in California.

[Name deleted] the bus trips around the United States as “spreading the word of Jimmy Jones.” The buses were frequently overcrowded and overloaded, and the elderly people in the congregation would frequently complain. Children were placed up in the luggage racks and probably had the best seating arrangement of the entire congregation. They only stopped and rest areas and parks and never stopped at any restaurants. The rest areas and parks were always prearranged by some of the other members who preceded the buses in cars and would make the appropriate arrangements for food and drink at the rest stops.

[Name deleted] a Tim Carter, believed to be from the California area, was in charge of publications which consisted mainly of pictures and keychains bearing photographs of Jimmy Jones. The Peoples Temple sold these for various prices and they were sold for all types of occasions to protect against travelers, dangers at night, to protect against rain and fog, and other sorts of mishappenings that may befall persons. This was a very lucrative business, and the first year [Name deleted] can recall that the temple took in well over $100,000.

[Name deleted] Jones handpicked bodyguards to dress, act, and look just like Jones. They combed their hair in the same manner as Jones and wore sunglasses just like Jones to protect against any would-be assassin who would have a difficult time deciding who actually was the real Jimmy Jones and who were the bodyguards dressed alike.
Jones demanded total obedience, told people that he was God and that he was Jesus and [Name deleted]’s opinion that his followers and survivors of the murders and suicides in Guyana would stop at nothing to obey the command of Jones. [Name deleted] feels that the people in Guyana probably did commit suicide at the insistence and direction of Jones as they were so “brainwashed” by Jones and his teachings. [Name deleted] he would not put anything past in the of the survivors of the murders and suicides in Guyana as they are “capable of anything.”

They have had no further confirmation on this and do not know the fate of Cleve and Helen Swinney. [Name deleted] Charles Eugene Touchette became acquainted with Jimmy Jones approximately 10 years ago and moved to California. As a result of his leaving Indianapolis, he hardly corresponded with the family, only several letters over a ten-year period, as Jimmy Jones would not allow correspondence with families.

At the time that Touchette left, he had an excellent job as a sheet-metal salesman with the Paller Engineering Company which he gave up to go to Stockton, California then to Ukiah and ultimately Redwood Valley. Touchette and his wife along with the Swinneys received large sums of money from the State of California to care for indigent and wayward youngsters and Charles also handled concessions and drove missionary buses to San Francisco and Los Angeles to pick up the destitute people. He became an assistant minister to Jones [half line deleted] visited Touchette in California. They did not approve of Jones and his ways; however, they could not convince Touchette to leave the group. Jones got information from other people and played upon this knowledge to portray himself as a god and a supernatural. As an example, the Touchette family has a history of heart attacks and high cholesterol and Jones told Charles Touchette that if he did not join the Peoples Temple church, he would die of heart attacks. Touchette joined the Peoples [Temple] Church and has had no heart attack problem, thus convincing Touchette that Jones, in fact, does possess supernatural powers and is a god of some sort.
[Name deleted] Mickey Jean Touchette, a former Peoples Temple member, was a secretary to Jimmy Jones and became disgusted with his financial wheelings and dealings and his breaking up the families by demanding that the families sell all of their belongings and donate the monies to the church. Mickey Jean left the temple and stated on numerous occasions that Jones had money stashed in caves all over the State of California. Mickey Jean became very fearful of retaliation from members of the sect and was reluctant to let her whereabouts be known.

[Name deleted] advised that he has heard that his mother had been [information deleted] somewhere in South America, and is presently alive and well in the country of Trinidad; however, his father’s current whereabouts it is unknown. [2 lines deleted]
[Name deleted] his parents went to California, with the original Jim Jones group from Indianapolis, in 1965. Their attitude was that they had met a “wonderful preacher” and apparently had found a great deal of peace and solitude in dealing with Jones.
[Name deleted] in the early beginnings of the Peoples Temple group in Indianapolis, there was a great deal of secrecy connected with any of the meetings of the followers. He never became involved in spite of his parents’ activity, and they ultimately left Indianapolis in the early 1960s because of a Holocaust that Jones forecast for Indianapolis, which was supposed to wipe out the city.
[Name deleted] Jones as a con-man who proclaimed to be a self-healer, and recalls hearing a story once about how Jones was shot in California, and there was blood splattered everywhere, but Jones was not taken to a hospital, but merely taken aside for several hours and came out later, apparently well again, and continued to preach. [Name deleted] this was a put up job, a fraud, and a fake.

She said they first attended the Somerset Methodist Church on South Keystone in Indianapolis in the early 1950s and that Jim Jones was the Pastor. Jones left the church when members accused him of lying and stealing funds and she and her family followed. She said he then established the PT and they helped him buy an old synagogue at 10th and Delaware in Indianapolis.
In the late 1950s Jones went to Brazil, South America for an extended period of time and Russell Windberg [Winberg] acted as the Pastor of the PT. She stated Windberg currently resides at [address deleted]. When Jones returned she saw a change in him in that he seemed to be interested only in important people who had money. She said he began to gather a large black congregation and tried to force it upon other members. She said the congregation ended up about 85% black and she and her family finally quit attending in the early 1960s. She said she believed Jones left Indianapolis in 1965.

[Name deleted] also known as [name and address deleted] (protect identity), advised that she is a former Peoples Temple member and knows Jim Jones and has known him since childhood. She recalls when Jones had a church on Keystone Avenue in Indianapolis, and when she and her parents attended services at Jones’ church. She became much more active in the church in July 1971, when she attended a rally at Jones’ church on North Delaware Street in Indianapolis. The rally was led by Jones, Tim and Grace Stoen, and others. She was invited to go to California, and went. [Name deleted] took her only son at that time, [Name deleted], and traveled on a bus to Redwood Valley, California. While there, she lived with [Name deleted].
During this period of time in California, she recalls that Jones advocated Socialism and Marxism, and required all persons, members of the Temple, to call him Father, and the children were required to call him Uncle J.J. Jones had a very hypnotic, soothing and seductive voice. He would not tolerate make-up or jewelry for the women during this period of time, and expensive jewelry was required to be turned over to Jones, with Jones saying that the proceeds went to buy land for “our beloved elderly and to provide nursing homes.” Jones claimed to be God, and beat on the US Flag with his fists, throwing the Bible on the floor and spitting on it. The only beating she recalls witnessing was when a Linda Amos spanked [Name deleted] one day during church services so hard he had welts on his behind. He was spanked for crying during the service.
Regarding weapons, the use of and carrying, by Peoples Temple members, [Name deleted] related the following incident:
Sometime during the summer of 1971, [Name deleted] recalls a Sunday service during which Jones spoke of a coming disaster. Jones felt there was impending doom and something evil was about to happen, and he did not want to happen to the elderly or the children. Everyone was moved outside the Temple into the open air, and when this was done, two shots rang out, and Jones fell. Jones then, accompanied by his wife, Marcelline [Marceline], Joyce Bean [Beam], Archie Iames [Ijames], Jack Bean [Beam], walked to his home, where he was attended.

Jones later returned to the congregation with a bloody shirt and gauze, and stated he had healed himself by the power of God, and that he had the power of God. With this, Jones preached for approximately 14 hours after his gunshot wound. The people believed Jones, and the fact that he had been shot, and believed it was part of a conspiracy to destroy him and the Temple. The alleged assailants fled through the woods and were never caught. Approximately a week or so later, [Name deleted] began observing guards carrying handguns and walkie-talkies, patrolling the Peoples Temple area. There was tight security; however, she never did observe large caches of weapons or armories, and never heard talk of murder and suicide. She never recalls hearing anything of the assassination or murder of public officials.
On another occasion, [Name deleted] recalls observing Jones, again during a sermon, strike three people dead and then bring them back to life. If anyone would question his supernatural powers, they might risk a beating with a paddle or a belt in front of the entire congregation. Absolute secrecy was demanded regarding any meetings, subsequent beatings, or any miracles work by Jones. Jones would continuously remind the people that he abolished witchcraft and said there was no such thing, yet he, himself, sold lockets which he blessed and which had his picture affixed thereto to protect the parishioners from ills and evils.
Regarding suicides, [Name deleted] recalls on one occasion in the San Francisco Temple, when Jones, during one of his sermons, ask how devoted the people were. Jones would always start his sermons in a very soft, soothing and subtle manner, and then work the crowd into a frenzy. When he asked how devoted his people were, they all hollered, “We love you, Father.” Again, he asked if they would drink poison in the form of Kool-Aid or in milk or soup, at which point again they all hollered, “We love you, Father.” Based on this, [Name deleted] was shocked and yet not surprised at the recent tragedy in Guyana.
[Name deleted] stated that she has not received any specific threats regarding her safety, but yet is somewhat concerned for her safety. She explained she left the Peoples Temple with her husband at that time (her current ex-husband), [Name deleted] (phonetic) [Name deleted], with the promise they would return. They left their son, [Name deleted] with [Name deleted] one of the Peoples Temple members. During their time away from the Temple, [Name deleted] consistently beat her up and [Name deleted] then went into hiding, fearing [Name deleted]. [Name deleted] mother then went to California, and got both [Name deleted] and her sister, [Name deleted] and her son, [Name deleted], and they all returned together to Indianapolis.

Jimmy Jones often preached that if an individual defected from the Peoples Temple, the government would continuously watch, threaten, and harass defectors. At a council meeting on one occasion, she recalls a mention being made to stop defectors from giving a bad name to the Peoples Temple. No specifics were mentioned, but the inference was very subtle that a stop, something drastic, could be done. When asked who was present at the meeting, [Name deleted] could only recall Archie Iames and Jack Bean.
