Issues Statement.
After the lnciuenr, Judge Har-
vey consented to make a state
ment regarding the action he took
In the case OF Abbott, and as to
what course he would pursue in
all similar cases.
You can say for me" saia
Judge Harvey, "and / want you to
stress 1t. when an organization
like the ku Klux Klan and the

because he is Abbott, but because

Der of an organization and as such
seeks to put above the law of the
state the organization he belongs
TO and the oath he has taken as a
member Of that order.
Until Abbott answers the ques-
ton or questions put to MIN by
the grand jury, as an inquisltorial
oody, he will remain in jail, and
as a warning to others, l will say
that the same fate awaits any and
all of them regardless of who
they are, IL they come into ny
court, and wilfully take stand
such as Abbott has taken and de-
clare openly and avowedly in
court that they will not answer
questions put to them by proper

because 1t Is against the oath they
nave taken as members OF an Or
der.
mo individual and no order
can come into my court and say
because an oath they have taken
as a member of secret organiza-
tion they will not answer ques-
Gion and get away scot free and
unscathed.
My hand is not against any
individual or any order as such
but my hand is for the law and
the enforcement of thel aw in let

cares to defy the spirit or the let
ter of the law In my court will
meet the same fate that l have
