Fastness of Hills Defies Vigilance of Law in Tennessee

Paris Tennessee April 24 Conditions that caused citizens to seek protection after threats following the slaying of Thomas Evans were said under control today by Sheriff T B Caldwell who swore in deputies to avert violence. No arrests yet, the sheriff vows to continue the inquiry until the slayers are found. Moonshiners, believed active in the wild between the Big Sandy and Tennessee rivers, are blamed for the unrest and the vigilante mood in Henry County. The district remains tense as deputies and residents await further word on the Evans case and the threat climate. Reverend J Buchanan helped raise funds for a $1000 reward and preached a meeting to calm fears and discuss raising money to aid Evans’s widow.
