The lawyers also demand ed from each a statement as to his ox her opinion on nxethSids of law en forcement. A night raid by masked men at Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles, on April 22, 1922, resulting in the slaying of one raider and the wound ing of two others, was followed by an investigation in which the first def inite charges were made that the Ku Klux Klan of the present day is engaged in deeds of violence. Forty three persons were inducted by the Los Angeles county grand jury for false imprisonment, kidnaping and as sault with intent to commit murder in connection with the raid. Thirty-seven of the accused were mentioned by name and six, uniden tified at the time, as “John Does.” Those named included William S. Coburn, grand goblin of the Pacific doman of the Ku Klux Klan; G. W. Price, king kleagle of the klan for the state of Colifornia, and Nathan A. Baker, kleagle, or organizer, for Los Angeles county. The victims of the Inglewood raid were Fidel and Mathias Elduayen, brothers, proprietors of a winery near Inglewood, operating under a federal license. A crowd of men estimated as numbering from 50 to 150 enter ed the Elduayen place, bound the brothers and carried them to the In- ' glewood city jail and a-ked to have them locked up as “bootleggers.” The jailer refused. The Elduayens were then carried to Redondo Beach, ten miles away, and a similar attempt was made at the lockup there, with Che I same result. While the raiders were surrounding | the Elduayen place, Frank T. Woer ner, deputy city marshal of Ingle wood, rode up in a motorcycle and was ordered to halt by one of the group of masked men who were guarding the highway. The deputy displayed his badge, whereupon, he testified later, several revolvers tvere levelled at him. He drew his own weapon and fired into the crowd, ihree men falling. Woerner contin ued firing until his ammunition was exhausted, then returned to* the In glewood police station for more. When he got back to the scene of the raid the crowd had dispersed. The three men shot by Woerner were carried into the town where they were found to be M. B. Mosher, In glewood constable; Walter E. Mosher, his son, and Leonard Ruegg, a deputy constable. The elder Mosher died about an hour after he was shot. Meanwhile the Elduayens had been : set free several miles from their < home. An inquest was held three days > after the raid, in an Inglewood under taking establishment. Blake E. Sham beau, a traffic officer, testified that I the raid had been organized ths | night of April 21, in the same room j where the inquest was being held, and | that at the same meeting candklates | for admission to the Ku Klux Klan had been identified by Baker. He and. i other witnesses said Baker led the | raiders intheattack upon the Eldua- 1 yens. Coburn testified he was in In-1 glewood that night, declaring he went there because he heard there was some kind of trouble and he wanted to make sure no klansnxen were mijeed up in it.
