Mob methods differ in two communities
In Huntsville Alabama a mob of over 1500 tried to lynch G E Henderson after a murder arrest. Authorities used militia and tear gas to keep the jail area under martial law as the crowd dispersed. In Cartersville Georgia a smaller mob targeted John Willie Clark who confessed to a police chief’s murder amid a scuffle.
