Indorsement of Tulsan for

lieved Ku-Klux Move
Announcement of tho inaugura
tion of an nctlvo campaign to se
cure absolute control of the state
legislature by the Ku-Klux Klan
was mndo Friday by certain of
ficials of the Tulsa realm coupled
with tho statement that indorse
ment of tho candidacy of Dr. (1.
S. Long for speakership of the
lower houso was made hero Friday
afternoon at a meeting Bald to
havo been attended by 25 klans
men representing about 1G locals
oveTlhe state.
Kupportcrs of Doctor Long con
tend that this indorsement makes
him tho tho strongest candidate
for tho speaker's chair. The klan
claims to havo elected 79 out of a
total ot 107 members, 22 of whom
were previously pledged to Long,
tho Tulsa backer contend. Tulsa
klansmen say that V. U. Disney,
Muskogee candidate, does not bo
long to thorn and has no reason
to expect support from tho hooded
organization.
Humors havo been circulated for
the past week that Doctor Long
would bo Tclan candidate, but no
open statement to that effect was
mado until Friday. It seems that
klan members will" havo the alter
native ot standing by tho order
that claims to own them or ad

described today by witnesses at tho
trial of five men In connection with
the killings.
All but ono ot tho defendants j
wero identified as having beon seen j
In possession ot a gun during the
progress of the rioting but ull the

clared they could not Identify any
portions they had seon In the act

In an argument between oppos

of a portion of tho testimony to
which the defenko objectod, Judge
D. T. Hartwell declared that the
conspiracy charges in the Indictment
warranted the widost latitude in the
Introduction of evidence.
"1 want tho whole thing to come
out and I do not want to exclude
any testimony on a more techni
cally,' the court doclarod In ruling
In favor of the' prosecution.
The defendants who havo been
pointed out by witnesses us having
been seen with guns during tho
rioting ore Otis Clarke, Bert Grace,
Joseph Caranagh and Lava Mann.
Tho name ot l'oter HUlcr, the fifth
defendant has not yet appeared In
any of the testimony.
Donald M. Kwlng, a Chicago
newspaper man who wrote the first
account ot tho killings tor the As
sociated I'ross, picked out Grace
from amongst the defendants as a
'man who had threatened him with
a gun when he attempted to bring
a drink ot water to two Injured men
who wero lyini; on a nun-baked
road surrounded by a crowd of
armed man Just outsldo of Herrln.
The witness said there wero six
doad or wounded men lying In the
road, all ot them bound together
by a blnglo rope tied about their
neck,
"Grace put his foot on ono of
tho woundednen aml'pusliod," the
witness declared and quoted tho do
tendant as buying with a curse:
"You'll get no water here."
Another witness, Henry Graves,
a mine pumpman, said he had seen
a group of armed men chasing
two fugitives through the fields near
his house.
"I heard the sound of shots," lie
testified, "and could see tho bullets
kicking tip tha dust behind the
fleeing men."
Shortly afterward, he said, a
wounded man had taken refuge on
his rear porch, but two men who
said they were "officers" camo and
took him away.
"Fred Harrison, a student at the
University ot Illinois, testified that
ho had seen Bert Grace near his
father's farm on the outskirts, of
Uerfln on the morning of the riots.
Young Harrison said that ho had
th8n taken a walk to a near-by
clump oKvoods where he found four
bodies, one ot them hanging from
a treo.
William Goodman, a farmer, testi
fied that ha had been near the
"strip" mine where the riot
started and had seen several men
coming from the mine with 10 or
40 prisoners. He estimated the
crowd about the mine at 1,500
persons.
Under cross examination Rwlng
