Padlock for Some Tourist Camps Urged
Morgan County grand jury reported to Judge A A Griffith that numerous tourist camps or club houses in Morgan County operated as fronts for gambling and bootlegging. They lacked sufficient evidence for indictments and recommended padlocking these nuisances rather than pursuing charges. Indictments were returned for jail felonies except one. The panel noted fewer liquor violations in Decatur and continued pending cases for later action.
