<!--They had been arrested the night before on charges of robbing and murdering a white factory worker and raping his girlfriend.

A third person, 16-year-old [[James Cameron (activist)|James Cameron]], escaped lynching due to the intervention of an unidentified member of the crowd who announced that he had nothing to do with the rape or murder.<ref>The primary source for these events is ''A Time of Terror'', which is an eyewitness account. Relevant passages are quoted in several of the external links, including [http://withoutsanctuary.org/pics_27_text.html photo notes from ''Without Sanctuary''] and [http://www.legendsofamerica.com/LA-Lynching9.html ''Legends of America''].

For ten days and nights he printed thousands of copies, which sold for fifty cents apiece." from ''A Time of Terror'', quoted in ''Legends of America'', see previous note.

Little review of the Madison book. Cynthia Carr, author of [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0517705060/ Our Town: A Heartland Lynching, a Haunted Town, and the Hidden History of White America] discovered advertisements for local klan gatherings in Marion newspapers from 1930 during her research for the book, and interviewed subjects that believed the klan was still active at the time of the lynching.</ref>
