Sheriff Durbin Criticized After Arrest Attempt in Shreveport

Shreveport residents condemn a Texas sheriff named Durbin for an unlawful arrest attempt of Mrs. Jeter, indicted in Frio county for forgery in 1895. Deputy Jas Clanton and Col. John S.

The episode sparks calls for decency and respect for warrants and rights.

Hicks at The Progress Office.
