Police Plot Exposed
r. D. Locke and N. McClelland,
the two police spies told of their
part in framing the plot to crush the
workers who are now forced to meet
at Ruskin.
Mcbride admitted 10 me that
he was the man who shot Byrd
in the disturbance at the Labor
Temple. He said he fired his pis-
tol from window on the second
floor Of their building, and in the
melee that followed he escaped by
the rear entrance and returned to
Ruskin. He also told us he was
wanted in Texas for red disorders
there"
Locke, one of the spies, said.
"McClelland and myself won Nc
Brides confidence by telling him we
wanted to join his organization. He
told us much of his activities. Going
there always dressed as laborers we
told Mcbride and the others we were
working at a packinghouse at Terra
Ceia."
Police are pushing charges against
Mcbride on the basis of the lies of
the police spies and as part of the
campaign to crush the organization
of the cigarmakers and the Com
