History of Order and Lynching Sparks Outrage Across States
A June dispatch describes mob violence over a Shreveport killing, detailing a Church of the Living God faction led by Prophet Smith and the executions of Smith, McLand, and Prince Edwards. The report cites threats, a forged royal archive, and police avoidance amid white- supremacist motive, with alibis and letters found. It covers related uprisings in Manila and Port Townsend, plus assorted national items from Berlin to Washington on June 20.
