The State - News from Aug. 12, 1987

A former neo-Nazi who was found with his hands nailed to a board in crucifixion-style at a Sacramento area shopping mall parking lot said his assailants were his own recruits from a white supremacist organization he founded and then renounced. Gregory Withrow, 26, who founded the White Student Union in 1979 while a student at American River College, said the attack by six young men was in retaliation for his denunciation of racism on a television news show and for his plans to write a book exposing the white racist movement.
