For those who have an interest......... ----------------------------------------------------- >Thank you, Dave, for the information. I have been researching this subject >for about a year and a half. I have only scraped the tip of the iceberg. >Yes, I have Larry Perry's book. In fact, Larry is my uncle by marriage. He >married Tom Evans' granddaughter, Velva. She and my father, Terry Evans, are >brother and sister. I have been to the 23rd reunion the past two years, but >I have maintained a low profile to this point. I do understand that this >remains a tender subject in some circles. Why? Why after 75 years does no >one want to discuss it? Indeed, it is this mysterious silence that has >intrigued me to look deeper. I have searched for the trial transcript in the >Henry County Courthouse; however, it has been misplaced or lost during a >move from the courthouse to an annex. I have spent hours looking for it. The >best resource I have found is the Parisian newspaper. The Paris P-I was >being published at the time of the murder, but a fire claimed many old >copies, including the years of 1926 and 1927. I do have a family heirloom, a >copy of the Paris P-I that came out the week after the murder. I met Dan >Martin last summer at the Mt. Zion reunion. Were you there? How are you tied >to the 23rd? Are you a resident of Henry County? > >I am very interested in talking to anyone who might have firsthand >information about the murder and/or the events leading up to it. How broad >was the community conflict that revolved around moonshine? Who would know? > >Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the True Detective magazine that >carried an article about this event? > >Thank you so much for the information to this point. I live in Kentucky >where I publish a newspaper, so I have very little time to get back to Paris >or Big Sandy to continue this research. Anything I can do via the Internet >is certainly convenient. > >Thanks again, >Chris Evans >
