Pro crooks use bad checks amid lynching prayer in Knoxville
A gang passing worthless checks in Topeka and other towns was traced through a Merchants Bank record. A fraudulent check drawn on St Joseph was cashed, while three crooks traveling with a circus circulated further fake payments. Detectives linked the scheme to a $500 “green goods” scam as authorities warned locals to lay low. In Knoxville, Christian colored residents observed a day of fasting and prayer for protection from mob violence and crime prosecutions.
