Gusses Blaze in Several Towns Across Lehigh Valley
A nationwide Ku Klux Klan demonstration lit crosses in Allentown and nearby towns from dawn to midnight with fear and scattered literature. In Lansdale a towering fiery cross appeared in Soldiers Memorial Park prompting fire department response and warnings of hootlegging. Separate reports note cadet Cochran’s disappearance at West Point and loot recovered in Sunbury from a store estate, leaving a widow and four children.
