A Brookhaven area letter urges Lincoln County residents to stand against crime led by the lawless and the blind tiger. It calls for vigilante action only within law, warns of murder and arson, and praises courage, urging all citizens to reclaim safety, with note of John Sasser’s murder case and a push for swift justice.

John Sasser Arrests and Flight to Jackson Jail
John Sasser, linked to the Tom Lord murder, surrendered to Dr. Van Martin after a reward and pursuit. He was transported from Moreton to Jackson, where he is jailed to separate him from co-defendant Pritchard. Sasser claims he will not tell the truth until under oath and places him and Pritchard in a negro house south of the court house at the time of the shooting.
