STEPHENSON'S TALE 1S READ IN COLRT ExKlan Oficial's Deposition; Produced in Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh, April 12 (®—Hearing on the injunction of the Ku Klux Klan against five ousted mem- bers proceeded federal court here today with the reading of a deposi- | tion by D. C. Stephenson, former Klan leader of Indiana who is now | serving a life term in that state for the murder of a woman. Having thrown out the counter suit of the former members, who sought to restrain the Kian from op- erating in I'ennsylvania and asked for a receivership for the order and an accounting of all funds, Judge W. H. 8. Thowmson told Van A. Bar- rickman, defense counsel, to read only that part of the deposition ma- terial to the issues now before the court. | Rarrickman procecded to read sce- tions of the dcposition bearing upon | the suit of the Klan, which scokst $500,000 damages from the € members and an injunction to 1« strain them from interfering with the Klan and conducting initiations. ‘Whe Barrickman rted to read & part of the deposition dealing with Stephenson's story as to how Hiram W. Evans gained his position as im- perial wizard of the Klan, John Con- naughton, plaintiff counsel, object- ed and was sustained, the court] holding it was controversal and} threw no light on the questions at issue. Another objection was upheld when Barrickman started to read a question he put to Stephenson ing 1t Evans had anything fo do with Stephenson’s imprisoument in Idiam. ° Connaughton objected to another question Yo Stephenson as to how | the Klan planned to control courts and legislatures. ‘Barrickman then came to that part of the deposition where he had ed the ex-Indiana Klan leader who was responsible for the murder of Captain W. Coburn, Atlanta, Ga., attorney. Connaughton objec ted and Judge Thomson upheld him, saying, “I don't want to go into & murder trial in another state.” Stephenson’s allegation that the Klan used women to besmirch the characters of certain men, was stricken out. Sections of the deposition per- mitted te go into the record over ob- jection by Klan counsel were: Stephenson's chargs that grand dragons were instructed by Evans to follow his orders blindly, and that it they failed to do so they would be unseated, punished, and their char- acters attacked, Stephenson's allcgation that the +Black Mask Robe’ gang was au- thorized by Evans and that this w the official robe when Klansmen went on killing and whipping par- ties, especlally in the south. Stephenson's charge that Evans told him and boasted that a negro had been burned at the stake n Texas; that Klansmen had cut off a negro's cars; and that “KKK" had been branded on the forchead of an- other negro. Stephenson’s allegation that the “purple Robe Gang” of Phfladel- phia, also known as the “Death Battalion,” was headed by Charley Lewis and a man pamed Winters. Stephenson’'a testimony that after » riot in Perth Amboy, N. J. in 1923, Evans told him “If the Klan can make it look as if we are being persecuted, it will help increase our membership.” The final defensme witn was Ralph Wolfe, of Carnegie, Pa,, Who said he was-a former private Klan investigator, employed by S D. Rich, former grand dragon of Penn- aylvania. He said Rich ordered him fo ®o to Uniontown, Pa., and destroy the plant of the “Watchman,” a paper cdited by William Likins, former Klan member, because Likins was publishing stories detrimental to the | Kian. He said he refused to carry out the order. When Wolfe left the stand the Klan attorneys called rcbuttal wit- nesses.
