tional Service Life Insurance

xxx Under Fire
In Georgia
by Noel Sewil

Rome, Ga. = (Atlas) - Samuel
Roper, Imperial Wizard of the Ku
Klux Khan is having a pretty hard
time proving his hooded night
riders are not instigated in the
flogging Of seven Negroes on the
night of April 2.
The Wizard has repeatedly tes-
titled that his association of ter
rorists did not have headquarters
(Klavern) in Dade County, but
the government is painting, almost
incidentally, picture of the Ku
Klux Klan at work.
Sheriff. John w. Lynch. OF Dade
County, three of his deputies and
eight civilians are on trial before
the Federal government, charged
with violating the rights Of these
seven Negroes. District Attorney
]. Ellis Mundy is proving that
since so to Is of the mob were
robed in Khan affair, the organi-
cation was behind the move to
arrest the Negroes, which the
Sheriff and his deputies did, and
then turned them over to the
hoodsters who allegedly abducted
them, logged and threatened them
with hanging. Thus, the trial is
much large in scope than would
appear on the surface, since the
Government is much concerned
with the broader background of
canvas to cover the motives 1t
is trying to prove that the whole
incident was cooked up at a Kla>
vern meeting.
Defense Atty. Frank M. Glea-
son of Rossville, Ga, contends the
government has the wrong men
on trial, and sails, the matter is a
case for the state courts, employ
ing often the rights Of the states
which is the same old story that
always pop up in such cases.
But whatever the outcome Of
this trial is, one can be certain
the Ku Klux Klan in the state Of
Georgia is undergoing one Of its
worst combing, and the stagger-
ing blow it is receiving under the
quiet ruling of Federal Judge F
A. Hooper, and the searching
persecution of U. S. District At
torney, ]. Ellis Mundy, will find i
much weaker than it was before

JURY finds DEATHS ACCIDENTAL
Officer Ed. Miller
Retires After "a
Years on Force
by HilIard ]. McFall

| , After%34 years of service on TIT
Chicago Police force, Detective
Edward Hennig q the Maxwell
Street station is slated for retire
ment comes Dec. a. Officer Hen
mig has been teamed with Officer
George Miller in the Maxwell dis
trict for nearly II year.
The team has cleaned up over
1900 felony cases since they join
ed the force in the old days. The
duo worked under eight captains
and they are now under the COM
mand of Capt. Kryan Phelan,
commanding officer of the Max
we'll station. When Hennig went
on the job, he caught three armed
bandits at Grand and Kedzie,
while in the act of robbing a res
taurant. He was given credit
able mention by Capt. Matt Tim
mer, now retired.
During Officer Hennig's service
he was given twenty-four credit
able mentions for outstanding po-
lice work. To most Westsiders,
the team of Hennig and Miller is
synonymous in the field of crime
fighting.
On the jovial side, Officer Hen
mig is often called "Couz," by all
the familiar characters in the
Maxwell district. And the team is
referred to as Deacon Miller and
Rev. Henrik, by such personages
as "Snuffy."
"Snuffy," is familiar figure at
the Bridewell and in the Maxwell
station lookup. He has priority
at the House." since he is one
of their frequent visitors. Don't
ask what "Snuff's" real name is,
because few people know anything
but Snuff"
Another case was marked clear
ed for the team of Hennig and
Miller when they arrested John
Fonseca, Is, 1923 S. Wabash Ave.
for the murder Nov. 20, Of Pedro
Perez, Is, 224l Roosevelt Road il
front Of West Side tavern.

restore his sight only partly sue
