In late October and early November of 1919, a Phillips County grand jury, which included no fls, returned indictments against 122 fls (including 73 charges of murder) for their alleged participation in what local authorities had identified as an "insurrection" against the white communities and institutions of the area.
Arkansas media accounts contrasted the state’s reaction to the "insurrection" to that which followed similar incidents in Washington, D. and Chicago with some pride, arguing that, "Through it all, the law…was in control." The men were promptly scheduled to die on December 27, 1919 and January 2, 1920.
