His line of argument first .'jvas that there was no Constitutional authority to maintain a bill of indictment like the one just tried that the authority of the I United Suites did not eitend to individuals in any case that the United Statesonly had a. right to deal with States as iKiliticai nVeTooley on .Constitutional limitation, sertetl that these Kn Klux cases, or thc- thcra. lielonsetl to .he Supreme Court of thb United States.

I didn't follow them, but heard the okl man praying. Uter a while they brought liua back. I was in dicted for being with this crowd.! Since then I have made up iny niiud to be a witness here against that crowd. My conscience would not allow me to keep the secret. I was -never told that I could. escaj punishment by " telling of these things. I was simply moved by mv conscience.' I under stood that tho mid was to be on James' Justice on account Of his politics.
