The first formal utterance OF Catho-

religious antipathies and classes il as
a competitor for Imitation fees with

"As far as their patriotic activity
weighs in the news scale, the article
states, sit is conceivable that there is
less news interest in a group of
Knights of Pythias bound for clam
bake than in group of ku-klux
Knights bound for Niger bake,
but there is no question OF the rela-
tive patriotic merit of the two fuuc
tions"

ruthless outlaws here following the
horrible burning of Henry Lowery
here last week.

spirit of resistance to Southern white
oppression is developed.
Lowery Prominent Lodge Man
Henry Lowery, the murdered man,

rites.

Cooked by Inches
With their prisoner chained to a
log, the members of the mob set a
fire with dry leaves Gasoline was
added to the flames, and Lowery was
slowly cooked to death by inches.
More than 500 bloodthirsty Arkansans
stood by and watched while their VIC

Tries to Eat Goals of Fire
Not once did Lowery beg for mercy
in spite OF the fact that he suffered
one of the most horrible deaths ina

saying that the officers apparently
