MASKS AND LASHES
HAVE NO PLACE HERE
WARN OF ICIALS

Masks and lashes haYe no place
in Maricopa county" Such is the
warning given out by both Sheriff
John Montgomery and County Attor-
ney r. f. l.. Shepherd in an open
letter made public last night.
Advising that the laws of this
state are ample to punish any per-
son guilty of perpetrating q crime
and to protect each and every one in
all Of his rights" the signers of the
letter add that every citizen has a
right to protect himself against the
invasion of his home and, IL neces-
sary, Ito protect himself even to the
extent of taking human life"
Following is the letter In full:
To All Good Citizens:
The sheriff and county attorney at
this time state to the public that
they are doing everything in their
power through their respective Of
fices to hunt down and bring to JUS
tice the parties guilty OF perpetrating
the recent outrages upon three OF the
citizens of this community Masks
and lashes have no place In Maricopa
county. While we counsel every citi-
zen to be prudent in his actions, still
it is the right of every citizen Of this
community to protect himself in his
personal rights, his family and his
home. and We wish to warn all Of our
citizens at the present time not TO go
into private homes unless they are
sure that they are known, because
when a citizen believes that he is
about to be attacked or his rights
invaded, he has right to protect
himself even to the extent of taking
human life if necessary.
The laws of this state are ample to
punish any person guilty of perpe-
trating a crime and to protect each
and every one in all of his rights.
The public is advised that any Of
ficer serving any process or perform
ing any duty always wears a star and
has his appointment to office so that
it can be produced upon request. A
failure to produce this authority is
sufficient reason for a citizen to re-
fuse to submit to the person repre-
senting himself to be an officer.

XII KLUX KLAN'
ADMIT WHIPPING
Of ROLL|N JONES
In Letter Bearing Seal Of
That Order Received By
The Republican That Or
ganization Takes Full
Responsibility.

Declaring that members of the Ku
Klux Klan were the persons who
whipped and otherwise classified
Rollin Jones. principal OF the Lehi
school. on Monday night. a COM
munication received by the Repub-
lican signed "Camelbacl. Clan No. 6,
knights of the Ku Klux Klan" and
bearing the official seal of that or
ganization. takes entire responsible
ity for that affair.
Though the assailants Of both James
and Aubrey Carter, janitor of the
Phoenix National Bank building, pro-
claimed themselves at the time to be
members of the Ku Klux Klan and
branded the victims with the initials
of the name of the organization. it
was not generally believed that those
who took part in the attack on Jones,
at least, were members Of the klan.
Jones himself did not believe so and
several arrests were made of persons
including relatives of a young wom-
an whom Jones had been charged
with assaulting and OF which charge
he later was released.
But it transpires that the assail-
ants of Jones were members of that
order, as is learned from the follow
ing communication brought to the
editor of the Republican last night
by special delivery. the purpose be-
ing evidently to exonerate the men
who were arrested on Tuesday for
that crime
Say They Did 1t
The authenticity Of the communi-
cation sent to the Republican is at
tested by the impression of the seal
of the order. The communication
follows:
"Editor Arizona Republican,
"Phoenix, Ariz.
"Yous are officially informed
that none of those accused by
RoIIin Jones, principal of the
'Lehi school, of having partici-
pated in his punishment for his
conduct toward a girl in his

ter. The man Jones was chas-
