August 1, 1946
I thought some might find this of interest. It took place in my hometown on this date in 1946. I grew up with the stories of it and surrounded by and knowing many of the participants, including my father and uncle. A number of the "facts" recounted here are not entirely correct, but the general overview is.

Very interesting article. This incident reminded me a little of story about John Wallace related in the book Murder in Coweta County by Margaret Anne Barnes which dealt with political corruption in a small Southern town and county.
