Stephenson, former Ku Klux Klan official, in the Hamilton circuit court in 1925 was set fortli in a series of affidavits filed with the supreme court today in support of the ex-dragon's petition for a writ of error coram nobis in his appeal Charles F. Lowe, Fountaine county klansman, set out that he was employed by Wizzard Hiram W. Evans of tlie Ku Klux Klan, at $75 a week and expenses to "spread poison propoganda against Stephenson in Hamilton county during the trial and to foster court room mobs." The success of these efforts were set forth in affidavit by Ira Holmes, Stephenson’s attorney during the trial, attorney Paul B. Newman, who attended, and by Stephenson himself. Lowe's affidavit stated he was a klan leader ifr Fountain county from April 2, 1925 to December 30, 1928 and that on June 20, 1925 he secured the poison spreading job from Joseph F. Huffington, Evans’ representative, and that he was paid SSOO by Huffington and later payment were to be made by W. Lee Smith. Fuffington told him Evans wanted all klansmen to "go down the line” and get Stephenson into the penitentiary as 'lie is in our way”

Among other duties, Lowe distributed pamphlets from Evans containing "vicious aud imoial charges” he said. He also stated lie was told to line up "bootleggers, hoodlums and prostitutes to attend the trial and make demonstrations i uthe court room by hurling "brickbats, vanity cases and rotten eggs” He refused this “rough stuff” however, the affidavit stated. Lowe declared lie was on hand in Hamilton county during the trial when Evans addressed a Klan gathering and made an informatory speech gainst Stephenson saying he was guilty of murder, a menace to society and trying to "destroy our noble order.” The attorney’s affidavits set out that defense council was hissed and booed and only once did the court object to applause or any other show oi mob spirit. They declared that if Stephenson

CHAPMAN "Neuritis is terrible," said Mr. Edwin H. Chapman, 930 South Carroll street, South Bend. "1 was suffering for a long time almost every day, and Konjola was the only medicine that really ended the awful pains so that they never returned. "Besides suffering from neuritis my kidneys were in a disordered state. The neuritis pains seemed to settle in my shoulders and work their way down my arms. Because of my kidneys there was always a. dull /pain across the small of my back and I was subject, to constant nigh't rising. During tlie day I had headaches and nauseating. dizzy spells when hundreds of small black spots would appear before my eyes. "But now I have taken Konjola and everyone of my health troubles have disappeared. The neuritis pains have vanished and niy shoulders and limbs are free and active once more. Konjola also strengthened my kidneys so that I cap sleep through the entire night. I go day after day without having a dizzy spell or lieadaehe. I shall always indorse tills medicine to others who are in ill health.’.

had taken the stand In his own defense he would probably have beeu mobbed and that the jurors would have been manhandled if they had not returned a guilty verdict. Stephenson presented a copy of a telegram from Frank L. Dobbs s«ld to be an "Evans agent and gunman" who attended the trial. He declared he was employed by Evans to get Stephenson given $2,000, some feminine finery and a 38 calibre pistol, the latter to be used in a frameup, and stood back of Stephenson's chair during the trial. In a lengthy brief tlie exdragon accused attorney general James M. Ogden of being dlliatory in regard to the state's part in his suit. ■ o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Paye
