Herrin riot trial resumes as Willis and six others face murder charges
After an eleven day recess, the prosecution resumes evidence against Hugh Willis of the United Mine Workers and five other defendants over the Herrin riots. Dr. Shipman testified a crowd gathered at the mine hall as Willis declared guards were in place and warned the crowd. He described chilling killings of surrendered miners and mob violence, while a former Herrin mayor and other witnesses detailed the rampage and speeches urging harsh action. In a separate case, Morris Leftkovich was found guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses in Dayton, Ohio, with a 1 to 7 year penalty. He led a scheme that sold 1000 plus lots at Madison Terrace near Blue Ash, profiting around 70 000 before receivership. The trial also revealed raffles that tied prize lots to additional purchases and misrepresented promised local development.
