MENAoE readers viii remember
that on the Ord Of February, 1915,
4 body Of men, all Knights OF
Columbus, entered the hotel Mar.
shall At Marshall, Texas, and
billed William Black in his room.
That Clarence Hall, az that time
travelling associate OF William
Black, In turn killed one Of the
men, namely, John Rogers. Hall
shot Rogers in his own room while
repelling a murderous attack I;
and the grand jury Of Harrison
County, Texas, refused to indict
him.
The reader will also recall that
this same judge, II. T. Lyttleton,
tried repeatedly 10 force and
eoerce the grand jury into indict-
ing Han; and that they stead
fastly refused 20 do so.
The grand jury, however, did
promptly return bills against sew
eral knights Of Columbus for the
murder Of William Black; the
principals among whom are John
Copeland. George Ryan and
George Tier, all members of the
Knights Of Columbus, young men
Of Irish descent, and prominently
connected in the city; none OF

the state, with its Dallas branch
is published in Galveston.
The Houston Chronicle and the
Houston Post circulate in Calves

Certainly the people Of Calves

way become disqualified in these
