Seven Convicted for
Giving Out Fake Oath
K. of C. Refrained From
Taking Action in Campaign
WASHINGTON.—Luke E. Hart
of St. Louis, Supreme Advocate of
the Knights of Columbus, present
ed to the members of the Supreme
Board at its meeting here late in
June the results of the 1‘egal war
conducted by the Knights of Co
lumbus against pedlers of the libel
ous “oath” of the Fourth Degree.
Seven convictions were obtained,
Mr. Hart reported, and in no. case
was there an acquittal. Of those
prosecuted, two were Profestant
ministers and two w r ere women.
Mr. Hart said he was hopeful that
these convictions and the publicity
attending them would operate to
prevent further circulation of the
circulation of the bogus “oath.”
Whereas the defence of the cir
culators of the libel was that it had
appeared in the Congressional
Record and was therefore taken as
true, judges hearing the cases re
marked that if the accused was
intelligent enough to read the
“oath” in the Record, he was also
intelligent enough to read the para
graph which preceded it, pointing
out the false and libelous charac
ter of the calumny.
The seventh conviction in the
campaign to eradicate the “oath”
was that of L. J. King of Indiana,
Pa., who frequently had posed as
an ex-priest and "who is notorious
for his propaganda against Catho-
olics.
The Knights had refrained from
prosecuting offenders during the
presidential campaign, Mr. Hart
said, lest it be construed as a po
litical move. With the seventh
conviction the campaign comes
practically to an end. Mr. Hart
pointed out that the Knights re
gretted the necessity of having had
to carry on these prosecutions in
various parts of the country.
Minister Apologizes
fcir Using Fake Oath
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
MARSHALLTOWN, la.—Another
distributor of the bogus “oath"
purported to be taken by fourth de
gree members of the Knights of
Columbus, has been made to
apologize for attempting to stir up
religious strife.
Some time ago, the Rev. O. D.
Ellett of this city published a book
entitled “Christianity and Roman
ism,” incorporating the alleged
“oath”. The matter was called to
the attention of the legal depart
ment of the K. of C. and after some
correspondence, the Rev. Mr. Ellett
signed a complete apology and
promised that in the future he
would have no part in distributing
the malicious document and that it
would be expunged from his book-
“At th.e time of its publication I
did not know it was a bogus oath,”
wrote Rev. Ellett. “I sincerely re
gret that misinformation led me
to publish the same and I frankly
apologize to all members of the
Knights of Columbus for the harm
and wrong done them on account
of it. This statement is made by
