nifty of making easy money. He
had been a farmer all his life. but
lately had been posing as a private
detective doing work in this and all

in April of this year. Mr.. Allen said.
He told the negroes it was neces-
sary for all members Of the union

for the day when they should be
called upon to attack their white
oppressors.
Negro men are charged $50
entrance fee" said Mi. Allen, "and
