Suspicion falls on a young black man who when captured implicated three black women who declare their innocence, a claim that gains urgency when a white man becomes a suspect. With the danger of lynching high and the Jim Crow system working against them, an improbable constellation of black and white supporters goes to work on the women's behalf. A clean very presentable copy.
