Evidently Matthew Bullock will be extradited from Canada to North Carolina after all. Racist governor Cameron Morrison says “People in some sections of the country do not seem to understand that so-called lynchings in the South are nothing more than the killing of a criminal by the friends and frequently outraged relatives of the victim of the prisoner’s crime. ... What has come to be called lynching in the South is nothing but ordinary killings in other sections of the country.” Which should be very reassuring for Bullock, whose brother has already been the subject of one of these perfectly ordinary killings.
Letting jurors in Prohibition cases “test” the evidence for themselves is becoming a thing. How else are they gonna know it’s really alcohol?
Everyone thinks William Jennings Bryan will run for the US Senate from Florida this year. His big idea: buy the Bahamas, or just get them in exchange for Britain’s war debt, in order to shut down rum-running from there. He also wants the teaching of evolution banned in public schools and colleges and the Everglades drained. Bryan will not run for Senate.
