The young men included David IRONS, 26, Frank LEDROUX, 29, Chester IRONS, 16, Milton REEVES, 19, Samuel MCREA, 16, and Roy REEVES, 18. Four others arrested on the same charge were able to secure bail in their home towns, so were not brought to the county jail. LeDroux and Chester Irons were bailed out of jail by friends.
