Maximum Sentence for Swindler in Colored Lodge Case
The court handed down a maximum penalty to a man described as a refined and educated swindler who preyed on fellow African Americans through bogus lodge certificates. Witnesses testified to forged memberships and pretense of authority, with the defendant appealing for leniency but the judge enforcing the maximum penalty. The trial also covered a separate case involving Blanche Everett, a suicide victim laid to rest with funeral rites and crowds at West Market Cemetery.
