| Description: | Rolling contrast dull and light in imagery Mob violence flares at several points in the nation. Infuriated citizens hang Thomas Thurmond and Jack Holms, confessed abductors and murderers of Brooke Hart, after a furious fight with the forces of the law. Governor James Rolph, Jr., Under-sheriff Earle Hamilton and a prisoner, confined to a cell opposite that occupied by the two criminals, give their versions of the lynching in striking screen interviews. | |
