KU KLUX KLAN TERMOR.
GIRL VICTIM'S STORY. ABDUCTED AND DEPORTED. A. and N.Z. NEW YORK. Jan. 11. A message from Bastrop, Louisiana', states that a 17-year-old girl, giving evidence in the investigation into the murders alleged to ha.ve been committed,/by members of the Ku .Klux Klan, testified, that a band of masked men a year ago: ejbducted her. from her home during the night. They carried her off in spite of the entreaties of her mother, who wept down on her knees. She says the band took her away from the place, alleging that she was ; leading an immoral life. The girl positively identified Dr. McKoin as a member of the party that abducted her. Men threatened that if she returned she and her mother would die. Since her return, which she effected in secret, said the girl, she had lived in hiding and in abject terror of being discovered by the members of the Ku Klux Klan.
