In photographs of the late 1930's, the Judge is seen surrounded by men carrying canes. I imagine they served as bodyguards. On occasion, these men did not hesitate to subdue hecklers and troublemakers with these canes. The fracas at Madison Square Garden in 1939 is a good example. Does anyone know when the Judge started using these "bodyguards"? Were canes ever used to keep unruly JWs in order?

has a study been done of these lawsuits and their success?
was this just sabre rattling on the part of the judge?
