Desperate Barber brothers lynched after jail raid near Waverly
Barrow criminals known as Barber brothers were captured near Waverly Iowa last week and jailed. A mob of 200 led by a relative of their murder victim burst the jail last Friday night, took them out and hanged them after brief time for confession. No trial was held. A bill advancing through Illinois lawmakers would set liquor licenses at 500 per establishment and beer licenses at 150. Public support appears to favor high license terms, expected to pass the Senate.
