flake oath" had been bought in bulk
from the Menace in the beginning, but
afterwards Megonegal had done the
printing on his own account.
The Menace was called upon py
counsel for these two men to give them
some assistance, and it replied in a
letter. dated March 5, 1918, and ad-
dressed to Leroy N. King, attorney for
the Defendants:
1--WE do not have any evidence that
the oath is the one which is taken by
the knights of Columbus. We feel
sure that it would be folly for you to
base your defense on the authenticity
of this document"
The case came on to trial at the
Quarter Sessions Court in Philadelphia
on January 30, 1914, before Judge Rob-
ert w. Wilson. The District Attorney
was Joseph Taulane, who was assisted
by Attorneys Owen ]. Roberts and
Joseph p. Gaffney. The defendants, In
addition to Mr.. King, had Peter F. Mac
Laren. Evidence was introduced that
the fake oath" was utterly false, and
that no knight of Columbus ever took
it.
Megonegal pleaded guilty and Stage
pleaded nolle. Whereupon, at the re-
quest of the plaintiffs, the sentence
was suspended.
Knowing that the flake oath" is
false, we hold that all good citizens
will join us in denouncing its circula-
ton in Marion County and in Indiana,
to the end that people of all creeds
may dwell in peace and harmony as
becomes the highest ideals of true and
patriotic American citizenship.
