Big Jim Clark Bond Set At Forty Thousand
Big Jim Clark was held on a $40,000 bond in Orleans for trial in the I'm Alone case. He is alleged to head a major Gulf liquor smuggling ring tied to an international incident with Canada. The sinking of the rum runner in March 1929 led to U S and Canadian government claims and protests. Clark, captured in a Louisiana marsh hut, was arraigned on conspiracy to violate tariff and prohibition laws and jailed in lieu of bond.
