The Old Sarum gang is a group of poor white farmers who live near the Finch family in "To Kill a Mockingbird." They are rough and hostile, often causing trouble in the community. They are associated with the Ewells, one of the poorest and most troubled families in Maycomb.
It was actually Mr. Link Deas and he was worried because the old sarum bunch were pretty much the KKK for Maycomb. They were going to try and kill Tom Robinson on Sunday night when he was in jail, one night before the case.
