VS.. STEPHENS DRAGGED FROM
BED AND SEVERELY BEATEN
White CAPPED AND MASKED MEN

he was assured that the next time he
would be killed He made his way
painfully toward home hiding in the
bushes when a car containing women
passed him. He reached his house at
dawn Sunday morning, finding his
family still away. He bathed and
dressed himself as best he could and
set out for the home Of Deputy Dan
Marshall at 1104 North Massachusetts
avenue. However. he found himself
obliged to give up on the way and ap-
piled for assistance at the home of
G. J. Bryant, who took him by auto to
the Marshall home. Here Mr.. and
Mrs. Marshall gave him every atten-
ton, and a physician was called. This
morning. the injured man was taken
to the hospital.
Or. !. y. Griffin, the attending ply
socian. states that, while Mr.. stephens
is severely bruised. no unfavorable
condition has so far developed.
Mr. Stephens was practically un-
able to talk Sunday. In addition to
the swollen condition of his tongue.
due TO the gagging, he was in a dazed
mental condition. He is hardly back
TO normal today. but is now able to
tell his story in clear and coherent
manner
When seen at the hospital this af-
ternOon. he stated that he had never
had any trouble with anvone before.
Il spend half my time tending to my
own business and the other half in
letting other people alone" he said
with as much Of a smile as he could
muster to his swollen lips. bruised
from contact with tho earth and the
forceful application of the gag.
As explanation of the leaving of the
family may he stated that divorce
proceedings are pending in the Ste
phens family.
Mr.. Stephens is = car builder for
the Atlantic Coast Line. and is known
as a quiet, industrious citizen. He
has lived here four years. coming here
from a short residence in Sebring and
in Avon Park, having moved to Flor
ida from Dayton, Ohio, where he
worked in the car shops.
His many friends express the high
est Indignation over the affair, and -
citizens Of the community generally
express the conviction that no one
could have had sufficient grievance to
inittfv such outrageous treatment as
Mr. Stephens has evidently received.
The officers are making a deter
mined investigation, but are not max
ing known any theory of the case.

Bakersfield, Cal, May 2O-In its
first report since it began inquiring
into the recent activities of masked
night. riders in the Central California
oil fields, the county grand jury re-
turned a presentment against the Ku
Klux Khan. Members of this body
were accused of taking the law In

itself is termed "insidious" and as
sertion is made that domestic trou-
bles, jealousies and other evidence OF
malice and hate" are at the bottom
Of 'its assumptions of governmental
authority"
The report declares that the Khan
gave it's victim no chance to defend
himself only one side OF
the case was heard"
1t calls on public officials who are
members of the Khan to repudiate Il
openly or suffer removal from ONCE.
and 1t makes a specific charge that
the Khan is political in character.
