Shane Tyler,

Benton, Illinois !! That was quite a day---gathering there, I do suspect, April 19th, 1928 ---- the day Charlie Birger was hanged there in Benton.

Good hearing from you----and thanks for giving this thread a real connection -- a human face, so to speak, on these sad doings.

Best Regards,
Art Thieme
