K|anRobe Submission
As Evidence Argued
Al Georgia Trial Of Il
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ROME, Ga, Nov. 24.-A sharp
issue at the Federal Court trial of
12 men on civil rights charges Is
whether a rumpled white Ku Klux
Klan robe should be admitted as
evidence.
United States Attorney j. Ellis
Mundy tried to put 1t in yeSter-
day but Defense Lawyer Frank
Gleason raised objections. They
were still arguing when Judge
Frank Hooper recessed court until
Monday.
MIR. Gleason said the Govern
ment had not proved that any Of
the defendants are Klansmen. Mf.
Mundy asserted that if it had not.
it would.
It will prove, the United States
attorney said, that the beating OF
seven Negroes out Of which the
trial charges arose, Klan parade
and two cross burnings-all near
Hooker, Ca, the night OF April z
are related events.
State Khan Head Testifies.
In the trial, Sheriff John w.
Lynch of Dade County, three OF
his deputies and eight private citi-
zens are charged with conspiring
to deprive the Negroes OF their
civil rights.
The Government contends the
officers arrested the Negroes at
the home of Mamie Clay for
Throwing a wild party" and al
lowed them to be flogged by al
group of so to rs men IN Khan
regalia.
Yesterdays final witness was the
imperial wizard of the Georgia
Klans, Samuel Roper of Atlanta,
who said his outfit has no klavern
In Dade County.
Another witness was Walter Arp,
who said he was cyclops of the 7th
Klan province. He testified the
county has provisional klavern-I
one that does not have enough
members for a charter but Isl
building up"
Youth Describes Incident.
Mr.. Arp pointed out two OF the
defendants as Klansmen. said ne
had re-instated q third as mem
Der and once saw a fourth at a
Klan meeting.
Nelson Davis, black-haired. over
all-clad Hooker youth, testified he
saw a caravan of cars stop in front
of Mamie Clay's house and burn
a cross. He added that the cara
van was led by a gray car he be-
lived belonged to Deputy Sheriff
Stokes McCauley, defendant.
The witness said he saw some OF
the men go into the Clay house
and come out with "some who
weren't in robes"
They drove down the road to a
fork and stopped, Davis said, and
pretty soon he saw Negro run
ming.
The Negro, he testified. was run
ming with one leg inside his pants
and the other outside.

countings from them. Checking by state
auditing divisions is spasmodic and inspired
solely by financial motives. No regular ]. P.
supervisory agency exists in most states.
~Justice by the Piece"
JUSTICES get paid through the "fee" system
in most states. They are supposed to remit
the fines and keep the costs" - justice by
the piece. Cooperative states offer the J. P
costs for conviction - and nothing for ac-
quittals. But as Virginia Trial Justice Harold
F. Snead remarks, Its doubtful whether any
judge can be fair and impartial when the out
come of the case involves his own pocket
book" Justice truly limps when the defend
ant, whether he's motorist, unlicensed
fisherman, drunk, roadside peter or whatnot,
must pay for the justice-dispensing - and
hears only nine words: whats the charge?
That1l be twenty dollars and COSTS

worthy likes to fine both the plaintiff and
defendant! But on one occasion when he
threatened to do so. the two parties in civil
suit went into huddle and refused to testify

scratched his head and dismissed the case,

South Carolina pays the lowest beginning at

$500 year. Most j. P.'s say they'd rather
be on salary. Justices preferring fees consider
it "the only practical method" Legal experts
agree that higher salaries and greater super
vision would attract better men and raise the
Offices dignity.
Cover a Lot Of Ground
ACTUALLY, the jobs demands are much
greater than generally realized. In many
states the ]. P. is the only court which is used
by enforcement officers. Civil cases include
breach of contract, trespassing, action on
notes, damages for negligence. Criminal cases
take in petty larceny, ordinance violation,
assault, gambling, fish-and-game offenses,
disorderly conduct, indecency, intoxication,
fraud, malicious mischief, public nuisance and
vagrancy.

You can never be certain what kind of
