Denial of voter suppression by Col. Linn sparks board reply
Officials of the Hot Springs registration board dispute a claim that Col. Linn tried to disfranchise soldiers at the soldiers home. They cite his testimony before the board admitting no Fall River county voters were admitted, while noting his anger at being unable to exclude the soldiers.
