Senator McLaurin sketch and crime tale headline
Washington Herald profiles Mississippi Senator Anslem Joseph McLaurin, detailing his career from farmer to governor to U S senator, his committees, and stance on Crum’s Charleston port appointment. The piece shifts to a Jackson insane hospital burglary where guards were shot, attendant Herrin died, and suspects tied to a woolly theft are pursued by state hounds.
