CLARKE INDICTED
BY GEORGIA JURY
Acting Head OF ku KIux KIan Faces
Charge. Released on Bond.


Atlanta Oct. 5.-lE. V. Clark. i'm
pcria. wizard pro TEN of the Knights
OF the Ku Klux Klan, was indicted
by the United States grand jury here
today on charges OF using the mails
to effect scheme to defraud" He was
released on bond of $500.
The charges against Mr.. Clarke.
who yesterday announced his resigna-
ton as pro temDore head of the khan
to take effect November 10, are biased,
according to the true bill rendered by
the grand jury, on alleged use of the
mails in collecting money from certain
members, subordinate officers and en-
ployees of the Ku Klux Klan on the
protense that such moneys would be
used to pay premiums to surety COM
pantcs furnishing bonds for these
klansmen
The Indictment alleged that the
sums collected were in excess of tho
amount required to pay such pre-
miums, and that this excess was con
OF Mr.. Clarke. According to allega-
tions in the memorandum accomDany
ing the charges Mr.. Clarke used the
mails to collect money on the follow
ing plan: Grand COLLINS were re-
quired to be bonded in the amount of
$4,000; for which a fee of S25 was re-
quired to pay premium to bonding
company; king klcagles were required
to furnish bonds Of $4,000, for which
fee of $3.50 was required for pre-
MUM and kleagles were required to
furnish $1,000 for which a fee OF So
was required for premium.
1t is charged that the National Sure
ty company Of New York was desig-
mated in the literature sent through
the mails by Mr.. Clarke as the bond
ing company and it is further alleged
that the premium rates Of this com
pany for $4,000 the amount of a grand
goblin bond, was only 50; and that the
difference in this amount and the fee
collected of the grand goblin was con
verted 10 the personal benefit Of Mr..
Clarke, and that proportonatcly small
CT differences on the lower bonds were
handled in like manner.
Memoranda included in the indict-
ment charges that MI Clarke mailed
letter on June 0, 1921, to George B.
Kimbro, Jr., Houston, Texas, explain
ing terms of the bonding process Civ
ing fee rates, and setting forth rules
Of the klan regarding bonds for en-
ployees Another memorandum Is al
legged to be a copy OF a letter which
Mr.. Clarke mailed tn k:mbo on Feb
rUary 6, 1922, in which he acknowl
edged receipts Of check for bond pre-
miums Of three kleagles.
In statement tonight concerning
the Indictment Mr.. Clarke termed it
another effort on the part Of the enc
mics Of the khan to hurt the khan by
discrediting me-
"The ones who brought tie charge
before the grand Jury are all dis
charged employees" he stated. "The
indictment will not amount to any
thing, as it is predicated on false al
legations :. The money charged
in the indictment to have been receiv-
ed by me was all properly transmit
ted to the imperial palace, and is SO
on record at the palace The
grand jury Of course heard only one
side of the case and If they had been
in possession Of the real facts no in
dictment would have been returned"
