KU KLUX KLAN
AN UNLAWFUL INSTITUTION,
JUDGE’S CAUSTIC CRITICISM
(United Press Association.)
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, April 13. A message from Pittsburg states that in dismissing the Ku Klux Klan suit against five so-called rebel members, the Federal Judge (Mr Thomson) poured bitter scorn on the Klan and its principles. He said that the organisation came to court with filthy hands, therefore it deserved no consideration from the court. He also held that it was an unlawful institution, and charged the Klan with being directly responsible for the breaking down of the fundamental principles upon Inch the United States Government was framed. — Australian Press Association.
