The Washington times., 1923-01-14

The fancied security from being bothered
by the local authorities had turned out to
be of little value. They had seen the
Governor of the State, with the Attorney
General and the military forces of the
State, sit into the game. And they knew
If Governor Parker and the State
authorities failed that the Federal Govern
ment, with the United States troops and
Department of Justice detectives, were
ready to take up the prosecution.
The vital Importance of never permit
ting those murdered bodies to be re-
covered was fully realized. If the diver
failed to find the corpses that day-per-
haps he would find them tomorrow. This
must not be allowed to happen. What
was left of those human remains must be
completely destroyed.
So, at midnight on that night, three
days before Christmas, the troops in camp
and the people of the countryside for
miles about were startled by terrific ex-
plosion. 1t was dark and no one quite
knew what had happened or where exactly
the explosion had taken place.
But in the early morning hours after
(Cl 1873 by American Weekly. In
The Washington times., 1923-01-14

very thing the dynamiters we're trying to
make sure would never happen.
The force of the explosion tore off the
heads and heavier limbs of the bodies,
and these heavier parts promptly sank
into the mud of the lake. 1t snapped the
wires which tied the bodies to their
anchors and this released the trunks of
the bodies of the victims which contained
within the intestinal cavity just enough
gas to lift the bodies to the surface and
float them in spite of the weight of wet
clothing.
The skillful work of that charge of
dynamite is almost miracle in the
nicely of the balance which it managed
to accomplish. If the bodies had been
torn loose from their anchors, and the
heads and legs had remained on them,
the weight would have overbalanced the
lifting power OF the gases in the intestines.
And if the explosive force which tore
off the heads and some of the legs had
also punctured the abdominal cavities of
the bodies, the gases would have been re-
leased and the bodies would have sunk
to the lake bottom. Probably the same
experiment performed under the same
conditions a hundred thousand times
would not have resulted in the tearing off
of just enough of the heavier portions of
eaCn DOuy 50 sCIldL Tie gas WOuIu nave
given buoyancy to what remained.
"The hand of God has interviewed to
deliver into the hands of the authorities
the evidence which seals the fate of the
murderers! was the solemn remark of
the old father of Daniels as he stopped
over the shattered remnants of his son
and identified the clothing of the
murdered man.
So by an almost supernatural bit of
good fortune, Governor Parker and the
Acknowledgement were presented by the
'cknights," themselves, with the one miss
ing link of evidence in the chain they had
pieced together. With the positive identi-
fication of both the bodies the detectives
no longer had any difficulty in securing
affidavits from the witnesses who had
hitherto hestated. 1t was now realized
that there no longer was any doubt that
the Government could prove its case.
The hooded men remembered with dis
may that Barry Milestone had been
pressed into service with his water pail
And now the officials had found the
bodies of the victims. 1t was bad situa-
tion-murdered men found and a witness

mains of Daniels and Richards.
A thousand pounds. of dynamite had
been exploded with careful precision ex-
actly at the spot where the victims
bodies had been thrown into the lake,
wired to the heavy cartwheels. A
thousand pounds of dynamite is a
tremendous explosive force, and the men
who exploded that charge had every
reason to believe that whatever remained
of the bodies of the murdered victims
would be blown to shreds and scattered
in scraps in the soft ooze of the lake
bottom beyond any possibility of identi-
fication.
And surely enough, the dynamite had
demonstrated it's terrific force. Only the
trunks of the murdered men floated to
the surface. 1t had torn the heads from
the bodies and had torn off most Of the
arms and legs.
The dynamite had done it's work, how
ever, in such a way that it completely
upset the plans of the murderers, and in
stead of obliterating forever the remains
of the victims, it accomplished with almost
supernatural skill the very thing the
Government authorities needed and the

story of what happened to Daniels and
Richards and echoes of this had been
picked up by the Federal detectives, who
had been working in disguise in the COM
munity.
The Federal officials knew the story of
that night in fullest detail, but the terror
of the power of the Ku Klux Klan made
it impossible for the detectives to secure
affidavits or admissions or promises of
testimony in court.
There was one missing link which was
vital.
You cannot convict man of murder
unless you can prove that a murder has
been committed AS long as the bodies
of the missing men remained hidden, the
prosecuting authorities could not establish
the vital fact that a murder had been
committed. And until the detectives
could establish the death of the missing
men, nobody in the community dared
come forth and offer corroborative
testimony as to how they met their death
and who killed them.
The remains of Daniels or Richards, or
both of them, must be found.
The moment this missing link was
established, then the Government officials
had the promise that witnesses would
come forward and make affidavits to the
surrounding facts.
And so it was that State troopers were
sent down to Moorehouse Parish. De-
tectives had already learned that the
bodies of the missing men had been
thrown in Lake La Fourche, a few miles
from the scene of that August kidnapping.
: The detectives had even gained informa-
ton that the bodies of the murdered men
had been wound with wire from hay bales
and anchored to heavy iron cart wheels
and thrown into the lake at point near
the ferry landing.
Under guard Of the militiamen diver
began work, but the lake is sixty feet
deep at this point and he was unable
to find anything on his first days ex-
ploration of the muddy bottom.
Outside the Gordon of troops, which
lined the edge of the lake, many anxious
"knights" stood and watched with eager
