as an "if" question an inquiry about
what would happen if it should de-
velop that Black is Klansman.
Reminding his interviewer that the
membership lists of the Klan are not
made public, DR.. Evans declared
fatty: Justice Black is not member
of the Klan," and added that he could
not recall when he might have been.
AS to the 1925 post-primary meeting
in Birmingham, when Justice Black
is asserted to have renewed his pledge
Of allegiance to the Klan, DR.. Evans
said:
Il do not recall having attended
any Klan meeting, convention or
conference with Justice Black at any
time or at any place. At that time, /
was attending 300 meetings year all
over the United States, and 1 have no
earthly recollection of being at that
particular affair in Birmingham"
In today's third of the series of
stories containing the charges Of
Blacks membership in the Klan is
included what is said to be a steno-
graphic report of the new Justices ad-
dress at that time in grateful recogni-

for the passport" which was issued
to him by the Klan.

Protestant Americans. That is the
SOrt OF LnlnR 1 nave Deen saying for

must do If we want to make our Amer

Asked about the gold grand pass
port or life membership card alleged
to have been presented to Justice
Black at the 1925 meeting, DR.. Evans
replied:
"Officially there is no such thing as
life membership in the Klan. 1t
may have been some local gesture of
an honorary nature"

EFFORT TO REMOVE
CHASE is RECALLED
Associate Justice in 1904 Wa,
Charged With Violation of
Sedition Law,

BY the Associated Press.
History records only one oflcial
attempt to remove Supreme Court
justice from Office.
In 1904, Samuel Chase, associate
justice of the high tribunal, was i'm
peached for misconduct at trials of
persons charged with violation of the
sedition law. Tried by the Senate,
he was acquitted twice on different
counts.
The Constitution makes no specific
reference to impeachment of Su-
preme Court members. 1t merely pro-
vides that the justices shall hold
their Offices during good behavior
and, in another section, states that
the House of Representatives has the
sole right to impeach officers OF the
Government, and the Senate to try
them.
