Mr. Lydiek is secretary of the Musko

that the Muskogee chamber of commerce
carried no accounts for or with Divan.
And here is the letter that, undoubtedly
sounded the reescenda on Mr. Dwau’s
hopes. It is written ou the stationery
of the Central National Bank which he
had evidently acquired in some manner,
though never through an exchange of
notes, golden or otherwise, according to
bank officials:
Mr. Alan Pwan.
Metropolitan Opera House,
New York.,
My Dear Mr. Dwau :
At Mr. Dick's request I am sending
you the bank balance of the Association
of American Artists April 12th. 1923. the
balance of s(sß,i)So, sixty eight thousand,
nine hundred and eighty dollars, you al
so have twelve thousand dollars in liberty
bonds that wt* are holding for yourself.
We shall be glad to assist you in any
way you may cull upon us.
A number of inquiries have come in
regard to the association but acting on
your instructions we have given out
nothing. Thanking you we are
Respectfully yours.

in touch with them.

ed “too nervous” to undergo an examina
tion when Dr. N. M. Oweusby was call
ed today to examine the slayer of W. S.
Coburn, attorney for the Simmons fac

his cell, physicians announcing that he

WOMAN OUTRAGED
BY .MASKED MOB
Mrs. Josie Starnes, of Union Count}'.
Brutally Treated by White Men.
Monroe. Xov. B.—The Monroe Jour
nal says Mrs. .Tosie Starnes, daughter of
Bob Irby of North Monroe, a frail little
igoraut woman of not over twenty years
of age. was jumped upon by a crowd of
masked brutes in the form of men. beat
en all over the body with some hard in
strument, and left lying in the public
be contemptible and brutal deed
took place on the Morgan road about
a mile from town early in the evening
as she was going from Braswell’s store
'to the home of a Mrs. Flynn. She was
accompanied %y a companion, Betty
Flynn, whe ran when the men grabbed
Josie. Mrs. Starnes says that there were
certainly as many as ten men and that
they were robed in white gowns and
caps. She also says that they said noth
ing but beat here with something like a
leather strap and tlieit kicked, her as she
fell.
Perhaps from terror, the Journal
says, or for other reasons, she did not
report the matter to the officers. Sheriff
Fowler heard ,of it only by accident
while in a bacber shop last Saturday
night, just a week afterwards. l)r.
Smith was called to see the woman
some time last week and found her suf
fering a good deal, with bruises and
signs of beating about the body,
especially severe about the lower- parts
and a wound on one breast.
A mystery seem to hang over the af
fair that indicates that the work was
done at the instigation or with the con
nivance of someone with a personal in
terest in the affair, the paper states.
The officials accept! as a fact that she
was beaten by nun wearing white sheet
djsguises. Further than that, they are at
sea. |
The little woman does not bear a
good reputation but that is beside the
question. Any set of grown men who
would do a deed of this kind would burn
your house over your head and you in
it- If the men were white robed as this
woman says, it make no difference
whether they are Ku Kluxers or not. so
far as the guilt of that organization is
concerned. It and it only has introduced
the white robe and the midnight attack
ivpon ignorance and defencelessness, and
if a crowd of other hoodlums go out
and wear the disguise, it’s illl the same.
Any community with men of this type
in it is not safe from any kind of cow
ardly assault- The officers and responsi
ble public sentiment should not rest till
this gang is exposed.
LITTLE ‘BILLIE* ALIVE.
HIS MOTHER ADVISED
Obdurate Husband Steadfastly Refuses
to Divulge Whereabouts of Their Child.
(harlot to. Nov. !>. —Little ‘■Billie'

day by Welfare Superintendent M. M.
Gray, brought relief from the anguish
which had made her hysterical for days.
It was her piteous pleadings the past
two days in Superior court here, that
her husband tell her only if her “baby”
were alive, that inspired the public wel
fare officer aud ethers to bestir them-,
selves to secure information that would
partly relieve here distress.
Meanwhile the husband and father.
M. C. Mclintyre, arrested here Wednes
day on a warrant 4rom the Virginia
capital, remained unmoved, steadfastly
refusing even to assure the frantic wife
that the child was alive.
His fight for liberty through habeas
corpus proceedings ended today when
Judge Hardiug denied his petition and
ordered that he be held for the Vir
ginia authorities*
Superintendent Gray did not an
nounce if he knew the whereabouts of
the 2 1-2 year-old child, but assured his'
mother that through the cooperation of
the associated charities, it had been as
certained that the boy was alive and
well.

“Oh. I don t know." said the farmer,

Her hat obscured his view at the
