"Well we got reports about liquor parties at Stephenson’s house In Irvington from Butler University people and parents of young men and women who attended them,” Morgan said.

asked ‘to resign?” Senator Reed qyeried. "Yes,” Morgan replied. Other highlights of the afternoon’s session was the bringing into the testimony of the name of Everett Sanders, President Coolidge’s secretary, and the testimony of Robert F. McNay, Indianapolis, a former Great Titan of the Klan, that he had resigned because: "I wanted nothing to do with George V. Coffin, a Marion County political boss. Coffin was too close to D. C. Stephenson and Senator Arthur R. Robinson." The Mayfield case—the seating of the Senator from Texas over a protest that he had taken the supercat h of the Klan —was referred to again in the testimony of Robert Lyons, Indianapolis, former Klan propaganda agent. He said that he heard gossip in Washington that Senator James E. Watson of Indiana was interested in seating Mayfield. He sakl he talked with Everett San ders about it and Sanders told him he thought it was mere gossip.

"Did your literature you sent out have anything to do with politics?” Rejd asked Lyons. "Not that I recollect.” Friend of Evans Lyons said he was still a warm friend of Dr. Evans, imperial wizard, and other officers of the Imperial Klan. "Were you present at a conference in Washington between Watson and Dr. Evans?" "Yes, I took Dr. Evans to Senator Watson’s office. It must have been In August or September in 1925.” "What was the occasion for that visit.” "I was a personal friend of the Senator and the doctor and merely wanted to make them acquainted.” Lyons said he had spen Watson and Evans together several times since. “Were you in Washington during the Mayfield case?” “Yes.” “What did you know about that case?” “I heard gossip that Watson was interesting In seating Senator Mayfield. Talked to Sanders "I talked about It to Everett Sanders, Secretary to President Coolidge, and he told me reports of a deal between Watsop and Mayfield were merely gossip.” "Is Sanders a Klansman?” "Not to my knowledge." Lyofis said Walter Bosser, fromer Indiana Klan leader, and Saunders wort school mates at Indiana University. “What was Evans’ attitude toward Watson?" "He was a great admirer of Watson." “You know why Bossert was gotten out, don’t you?" “Yes.” “Why was that?” Lyons then began a long explanation of Bossert’s political past. Bossert, the witness said, grew up with such friends as Senator Harry New and Will Hays. When he got In the Klan and was asked to support Watson he found himself between two fires. "He didn’t want to offend his friends and ha found the position embarrassing. He would have to keep quiet or get out.” Lyons sad Dr. Evans favored Watson, but “would not be guilty of coercing any one to vote for him.” Earl Peters, chairman of the Indiana Democratic committee, testified at the opening of the afternoon ! session that the national committee of the party had sent him SIO,OOO for use In the Indiana campaign. He said that in the State he had raised from $24,000 to $25,000. Tom Taggart, Peters said, had given him SSOO. There were no other contributions that large. Peters jwid. "The World Court has been made an issue in Indiana by the Republican charges that International bankers are at work on behalf of ! our candidates," Peters said. “The outstanding issue so far as ! ye are concerned is honesty in Government," Peters said. "Does your committee have any connection with the K. K. K?" Iteed asked. "None whatever, sir." "Is the Klan backing your can--1 didates," "I believe it is not," “Have you heard of the State bei inq tloodew with World Court HerI ature?” “No. I have not. I believe there are those movements pro and con, dissociated however, with the two organizations.” Turns to Walb Reed then asked Walb if there were any questions he would Uke the committee to ask Peters. . ”1 would like to quote our platform on the World Court and then have Mr. Peters quote his,” Walb said. “Out platform is unalterably opposed to the World Court and the League of Nations.” "Now you quote yours in that regard," Reed told Peters. “As I testified," Peters said, “our platform does not mention either the World Court or the League of Nations. “However, I might say that Senator Watson switched over the anticourt ranks almost over night." "Maybe ho heard me make a speech," Reed commented. Robert W. Lyons, former Klan

propoganda agent of Indianapolis, was next called. * Lyons said he severed his connections with the Klan in May, 1925. "I was a member of the Klan in Indiana and was transferred to the imperial Klan or national organization,” Lyons said. "I was secretary to Mr. Walter Bossert while he was a vice president of the imperial KJan from 1923 to 1925.” "Do you know how much money was received at the State headquarters?” • Lyons estimated It at $615,000. “What was Mr. Bossert’s salary?" "I dont know. That was an arrangement Evans," (the Imperial Wizard). ( At Washington "I spent most of my time in Washington? I was In charge of Mr. Bossert'a oiffee there doing organization work.” "Do you have charge of the field men?" Reed asked. "Yes, all over the United States.”
