To Ask For Receiver For Ku Klux Klan Today Fort Wayne, Oct. I—Legal action in the federal court of Judge A. U. Anderson, at Indianapolis, will be i started today in an effort to compel 'the appointment of a receiver for the , Ku Klux Klan in Indiana find for the i appointment of a receiver for the entire "invisible empire." with head- | quarters at Atlanta, Ga„ according to lan announcement made here last night by Patrick H. O'Donnell, president of the American Unity League, in an address to more than four thousand people in Library hall. Explaining the technical procedure I which, he says, will bring the klan I into the open in Jndiana and throughout the nation, Mr. O'Donnell stated that the suit to be filed today grew out of an investigation conducted recently in South Bend J and Mishawaka where Unity league | detectives found the rosters and rolls of the klan had been “padded" I in a systematic manner by the use |of names of persons not members. These men. together with the Unity league officials, united recently to bring the suit, charging that they have been "irreparably damaged in personal goods and constitutional rights through the use of the names as members of the Ku Klux Klan." For the past 90 days. Joseph R. Roach. Indianapolis attorney, who I heads the legal staff of the Unity I league, has been preparing the bill. I Mr. O'Donnell stated, and he will be among those who will present it in Judge Anderson's court this morning. The bill, among other charges, will allege that the klan has forged the signatures of citizens in such a way that they have been damaged to a criminal extent and will ask an injunction against the klan for holding rolls on which signatures have been forged. With the completion of this legal act. the bill also asks that I a receiver be appointed to gather in all klan records pending the outcome of the suit. Mr. O'Donnell denied that the Unity league, through its ' paper ‘Tolerance.” had published names other than those found on the roster of the Fort Wayne “klavern.” Several Decatur people attended the meeting in Fort Wayne last night. iCountv Clerk Makes Report For Quarter Thirteen marriage licenses were ! issued at the office of the county I clerk during the month of September.
