Summary

A postcard showing a group of detainees being marched past the corner of 2nd and Main under armed guard. The building in the background is 202 S. Main, on the southwest corner. Based on the shadows of the building and the people, it is late morning. They are heading east (or are turning to head east) on 2nd, so it is more likely that they are among those being marched south towards McNulty Park than to be heading towards the Convention Hall, which is several blocks north of this intersection.

This indicates that the title which was taken from the writing on the face of the postcard is incorrect. Digital image has been modified from the original for clarity.

The photographer is unidentified. The Postcards were first published in 1921.
