THE
ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD.
BY EVELYN WRENCH.
KU KLUX KLAN, that hooded brotherhood of masks and mystery," the origins of which Mr. Frank R. Kent, of the Baltimore Sun, described so lucidly in a recent issue of the Spectator, continues to occupy much space in the American and Canadian Press. The announcement that the Morehouse P arish Grand Jury in Louisiana was unable to find an indictment in connexion with the deaths of Richard and Daniels did not cause much surprise, as it was rumoured that ten of the jury were members of the Klan. The two victims, it will be recollected, were kidnapped by a masked and hooded band last August and were never seen again till their bodies, horribly mutilated, were discovered in a lake seventeen miles from their home. The Federal inquiry into the matter, which was begun in the autumn, is to be continued.
