(Received January 10, 8.25 p.m.) NEW YORK, January 9. A telegram from Bastrop, in Louisiana, says that a witness gave intimate details of the Ku Klux Klan’s activities in Bastrop parish, where the murders occurred. He showed that an intricate, invisible government exists, neighbour watching neighbour for moral violations. The Ku Klux Klan carried out extensive punishments, kidnapping some, including women, and sending them into other States, flogging others, killing them sometimes, and always using the threat of force, keeping citizens in constant terror.
