Judge Finds Klansman in Contempt From The Atlanta Constitution ROME, Dec. 23 — (INS) — An admitted Ku Klux Klansman who refused to furnish a Fede¬ ral Grand Jury with informa¬ tion about the KKK was found guilty of contempt of court yes¬ terday in Rome. Stanley D. White, Kleigraph (secretary) of the Rossville | Klavern, said yesterday that he had failed to co-operate with the Grand Jury investigating the hooded flogging of seven Ne groes near Hooker last April 2 because he had “sworn alle¬ giance” to the Klan not to re¬ veal anything about it. But Federal Judge Frank A. Hooper, who presided at the mass civil rights trial of 10 : Georgians acucsed of participa- tion in the floggings, said “There is no oath as strong as the oath to the court and to the United States.” However, the Judge did not sentence White. He said he would give the Klansman an¬ other chance to tell the Grand Jury what he knows when it re¬ convenes in January. That will be about the same (time the Government will re- ' open its case against Dade ! County, (Georgia) Sheriff John jW. Lynch, three of his deputies and six private citizens. Their first trial on charges of cons¬ piracy to violate the civil rights [of the Negroes ended in a mis- j trial last Saturday.
