The New York couple have been making red speeches here for a week on the street corner. Last night while roasting President Harding, they were grabbed off the platform, placed in an auto and rushed to the country. Ross was strung up by a rope to a tree nearby. As the noose tightened about his neck, Ross begged to be allowed to kiss the American flag. The couple were allowed to do so and upon promise to leave Toledo were let go by the crowd. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
