Judge Wright Besieged by Threats Over Bucks Store Ruling
Justice Daniel Thew Wright has received scores of threatening letters after his decision on the Bucks Store and Range Company injunction. One note warned an undertaker will be busy near him, while others said an assassin would visit. Wright remains unalarmed, discarding hate mail and editorials into a waste basket, noting most letters come from labor sympathizers and critique his ruling. A Seaboard Florida Limited train, the fastest yet through the South, passed through the city en route to Florida with mahogany interiors and six coaches, detailing stops at Richmond, Raleigh, Savannah, and other points, carrying a small number of passengers.
