"1932 Mob threatens Worcester prosecutor"
Curious to read on Sunday if this has anything to do with the Davis family murders (Dec 1931) and the accused and eventually convicted and executed Orphan Jones.
Thanks for commenting.
I've seen mention of the Orphan Jones case, however, this Sunday's article is about kidnapping charges filed against the Ocean City police chief and another prominent citizen. -tk
