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.

’Tis the day after Christmas
I and all through the town
We’re all too exhausted for even
