GREENVILLE, S. CLAMP
Despite the fact that Governor
Burnet R. Maybank has denied
that a Negro federal investigator
has been sent here to investigate
activities of the Ku KluX Klan in
various South Carolina towns, the
rumor persists and credence is
given it by many we'll informed
persons.
Governor Maybank described tie
Lort as deliberate attempt ro
hamper the investigation OF Klan
right riding activities which he
ordered in Anderson, S. c., follow
ing the flogging of Lanier Pruitt
On the night of December 81.
White residents of Anderson say
that if a Negro investigator has
come to the city he has not made
known his identity or his business
there.
However, a Greenville colored
resident said this week he had in
terviewed white labor officials in
both Spartanburg and Greenville
and that the local labor leader had
said: THE colored man came to
my house in a Cadillac about as
long as my house and he showed
me credentials that were undoubt-
edly authentic. He was a very in
telligent fellow, but did appear a
little nervous. There is no doubt
he Was a Negro and there is nc
doubt he was a government inves-
tigator."
In Anderson Special Magistrate
has issued warrants for seven al
legged Klan members, including
Fred v. Johnson, Greenville Klan
leader. The seven defendants have
been released pending trial on
bonds Of $1,000 each.
