Franklin White Caps Probe Deepens in Franklin County
Detective Hoyt and assistants continue the white cap investigation in Franklin County with Brookhaven visits. Hoyt reports confidential confessions from members, reveals oath parallels with the Farmers League, and notes Gov. Vardaman and Judge Wilkinson favor harsh action only against active lawbreakers while protecting passive members. Schools in Beat 4 receive positive updates, notably Auburn High boosting facilities, literature and arts programs, and strong leadership from Superintendent W. B. Hogg and Miss Florence Flowers. The Mississippi Supreme Court upholds the Me ridian water works contract abrogation.
