ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. Elm the Banks
county kuklux case eight prisoners were
found guilty on every Indictment, and will
be sentenced Monday. Judge Mccoy in
MS charge was very severe in his condem-
nation CT so-called kuklux crimes, He
said: ut Is strange men should so far for
ger their God and the laws Of their couu-
try as to permit themselves to do such
things on the poor helpless negro.
It is disgrace to humanity and
to society, and 1 say as a citizen of the
United States, and as an observer that
nothing has tended so much to bring this
southern country into disgrace; nothing
has tended so much to put the balance of
the United States against US as this kind
of outrage. They are mean, they are dis
graceful, they are horrible, they are things
which people out Of this country cannot
comprehend or understand.
