ing. Stephenson came in carrying
his cap in hand and warmly greet
ed those about the table.
He was looking well. Silver
trimmed spectacles framed his eyes.
Throughout the questioning he
munched bananas, plums and apples
given him by newspaper men. He
failed to display any of his old
time obstinacy and talked freely.
Stephenson traced his connection

taken about twenty million dollars
out of Pennsylvania to my knowl-
edge and half of everything COL
lected went to Evans.
"He owns the khan, hires the
officers and appoints the grand
dragons and they in turn elect him, "
Stephenson said.
Stephenson charged Evans with
plotting the murder of Captain
William S. Coburn, an officer of the
khan, at Atlanta, shot in his Office
in 1923.
OF all the money the khan col
lected in Indiana, not one cent went
to charity, Stephenson said.
Charitable funds were raised by
volunteer offerings, he explained.
Gilliom questioned him closely about
knowledge he claimed to have re-
garding the burning of two schools
in Bridgeton, Ind. in the fall of
1924.

side.
He is preparing to prosecute

Stephenson related that Withrow
told him in the fall CT 1924 that
things in Parke county are going
