DORSEY DENOUNCES
SPEECH CHARGED To
KU KLUX LECTURER

Correspondence involving a charge
that a state lecturer for the Ku
Klux Klar made false statements in
an address at Hartwell which were
calculated to promote i'll will be-
tween the races, and containing Gov
ernor Dorsey's Characterization Of
the lecturers alleged statements as
a fabrication out of the whole cloth,
was made public Monday by the gov
ernor.
Some days ago the governor re-
ceived a letter from prominent
preacher at Hartwell advising him
that a Ku Klux Khan lecturer had
told an audience in Hartwell that the
negroes of Atlanta made a demand
for two places on the board of edu-
cation and threatened a riot when
the demand was refused, that Mayor
Key, Governor Dorsey and Chief
Beavers were unable to handle the
situation, and that Sheriff Lowry
prevented bloodshed by calling on
the Ku KIux Khan, of Atlanta to
handle the situation.
Governor Dorsey replied that the
statements made by the Ku KluX
lecturer, as reported to him, were
false from beginning to end, fabr1-
cation out of the whole cloth.
The governor furnished copies of
the preachers letter and his reply
to DR.. C. B. Wilmer, rector Of st.
I,uke's Episcopal church Of Atlanta,
and a member of the inter-racial re-
lationships committee, and to Thorn
as Johnson, state secretary Of the
Y. w. G. A.
DR.. Wilmer replied in a letter urg-
ing Governor Dorsey to write pub
lie letter to w. J. Simmons, grand
wizard of the Ku Klux Khan, de-
nouncing the lecturers alleged mis-
statements.
Mr.. Johnson replied in letter in
forming the governor that similar
mistatements were made by a Ku
Klux Khan organizer at Waycross,
that the citizens who joined the
Waycross Khan had subsequently
discovered the falsity of the state
ments, and were now demanding re-
fund of their initiation fee.
Colonel Simmons was out Of the
city on Monday. hence no statement
could be obtained from him regard
ing the alleged mis-statements made
by the Ku lux Khan lecturer at Hart
we'll.
Governor Dorsey did not state
whether he had brought the alleged
mis-statements to the attention of
Colonel Simmons, but the impression
was gained that the governor did not
intend to let the matter drop.

nection with the death of Albert C.
Felts, who was killed during the

| and there were no demonstrations
aside from an outburst Of cheers
from the miners who stood vigil

| BaldWin-Felts detective agency to
evict the striking miners families
from the company houses in which
they were living. Felts carried out
the evictions. After day fraught
with argument between the opera
tives and city officials the party
finished its work and prepared to
depart from Matewan on an early
evening train.
Upon leaving their hotel, Albert
Felts and his men stopped in front
| of a hardware store. The leader

and pistols parked from all direc-
tions and before the shooting end

bers of the Baldwin-Felts party and
two other residents fell mortally
wounded in the main street Of the
village.

were indicted by a grand jury at
Williamson in connection with the
-eieTtfp UfAfae4ts.-- At the outset of the
trial which began on January &c, the
cases against several of the defend
ants were dismissed.

shortly after o'clock Saturday after
noon. Judge Bailey recessed court at
8 o'clock that night until o'clock
this morning, and when court recon-
vened the jury resumed it's de1ibera-
tions. Aside from newspaper men,
several attorneys, court officials and
defendants, few persons were in the

"At n time" according to the re-;

The report points out that great
