Efforts of the prosecution then were directed toward establishing the Ku Klux Klan’s connection with the in- cident and the examination of wit- messes ended abruptly when Frank Bourland, who, the lodge hall- ens- todian testified, paid rent on the Ku Klux Klan rooms, refused to testify as to his connection with the organ- ization. He also declined to answer the prosecution’s query as to what a large box in the “property” room con- tained. Nineteen questions, all per- taining to the Ku Klux Klan, were asked him and he refused to answer all but one.
