A fourteen-year-old from Chicago was accused of whistling at a white woman in a grocery here, taken from his uncle's house at night, tortured and shot. His mother insisted on an open casket so the country would see what had been done. The acquitted men confessed to a magazine months later for $4,000.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
