'' Highly Elated"

J. K. Skipwith, Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan at Morehouse, La., said that he was "highly elated " over the result of the trial of certain Klansmen in Bastrop. For the Klan has won a marked victory. The blackhooded night riders who last August tortured to death two of their opponents and hid their bodies in Lake La Fourche have not yet been convicted. The Special Grand Jury which tried suspected Klansmen dismissed the case on grounds of insufficient evidence, and, although 125 witnesses testified to various criminal activities of the Klan, including murder in their charges, the Jury referred only to " kidnapping." The people of Bastrop estimate that eight of the Jury are Klansmen.
