STARKS AND SON
Win SUIT BEGAN
To HALT PROJECT
Committee from Groveland Park
Improvement Association
Loose Suit
vICTORS GIVEN RIGHT TO
BUILD ON OWN PROPERTY
Unfair Interest Attack Judge
O'Brien for Upholding Law
and Justice

Mr.. Turner Starks, 1856 Grand
Ave, and son, purchased a lot on st.
Clair Street between Cleveland and
Kenneth Avenue for the purpose of
erecting a barber shop thereon.
On the evening of May %, 1928, a
committee who claimed to represent
the Groveland Park Improvement As
ISOLATION visited MIR. Starks' Shop, the
purpose of the committee In making
this visit, so it claimed, was to peace
fully, calmly and in an orderly man
ner request Mr.. Starks to dispose of
he property a. they were unalter-
IDLY opposed to the erection Of Bar
ber Shop in that neighborhood-just
how peacefully and orderly this was
done can be understood when 1t was
found necessary for Mr.. Turner
Starks to defend himself with a gun.
Mr.. Starks was arrested and accused
Of having fred at Mr.. Hacket, one of
the members of the committee.
Judge Criticized
Judge O'Brien, before whom the
case was tried, ordered an inyesti-
cation, and when the facts of the case
were reported 1t indicated that Mr..
Starks had been driven to protect
himself. Mr.. Starks was given a
suspended sentence.
In the Ku Klux Klan paper Mr..
Mcdonald, Assistant County Attorney
was severely criticized for speaking
openly in the behalf of Mr.. Starks.
or course we can readily understand
the purpose of this criticism when we
take into consideration that this is
election time and that Mr.. Mcdonald
is a candidate for public office.
Summary
A summary of the facts on the case
are as follows: 90 r..
Mr.. w. X. Hacket tried to get a
temporary restraining order, to keep
Mr.. Turner Starks from erecting a
Barber Shop on st. Clair Street be-
tween Cleveland and Kenneth. This
case was tried in the District Court
and lost. Mr.. Hacket then appealed
to the Supreme Court, the Supreme
Court affirmed the decision of the
lower court in preventing a tempor-
airy restraining order-meaning the
second defeat for Hacket against
Starks. This was Starks second vic
tory.
Attorney Geo. w. Hamilton repre-
sented Starks and Son in both the
lower court and the Supreme court
trials.

sane, conservative, and reasonable in

him to be. Last but not least, IT
has resulted in a better feeling and
