Ex-Vice Era Ends as Phenix City Quieted Since 1954 Reform
Phenix City Alabama, once famed for vice from gambling to prostitution, has been under a cleanup since 1954 after attorney general Albert Patterson was killed. Gov. authorities ousted local officials, replaced police, and fired most workers, leading to a quieter town with prostitution bookable only on vagrancy charges and a revamped police force.
