Lyching Caravan Forms After Motive Mob Slays Girl
In Saint Francis April 18 a mob of about 190 heavily armed men seized Richard Reed and A. A. Bacon, then drove toward the home of a schoolteacher victim. Reed, blamed for abducting and killing a 15 year old girl, was found in the Cheyenne county jail. Ed McGinley and Sheriff Hed foiled further violence as the caravan carried Reed toward the prairie. The incident follows Reed’s earlier kidnapping claim and a prior 1935 conviction for child assault.
