Herrin 5 Seeks More Trouble Over New Klan Activity
In Herrin Illinois on January 31 deputies raided two Blairville garages and two at Hurst, netting one pint of whisky. The raids, led by Constables Coleman and Newell, followed promises by nine clergymen at S Glenn Young's funeral to continue the dry movement. Prisoners were jailed locally then bound for Marion. Community fears arise over a new Klan backed campaign to tighten control in Williamson County as political and social power shifts toward hooded leaders. Coroner’s inquiry into last Saturday’s outbreak proceeds with no living suspects named.
