Prohibition Chaos and Gunfire | St. Louis News
Description
In August 1926, chaos erupted across the country as a teenage girl narrowly escaped a shooting, an ex-constable was killed by a bullet through his window, and federal agents raided a moonshine operation hidden beneath a bungalow. A bottle even fell from a plane—hitting a woman in her car. Meanwhile, political drama unfolded as Becker denied ties to a bank scandal, while four others denied bonding for him, and prosecutors promised arrests in the murder of Doss. Amid all this, Prohibition’s fragile grip held on—with injunctions expiring yearly, booze kept flowing anyway. It was a wild, lawless time.
