BASTROP. La, Jan. 25 lBy the
Aaaoclated Prt-es.) The state's open
bearing here into the so-called "More
house hooded atrcx-IUes" investigating
Hoggings, deportations, kidnappings
and tbe death of two men, was con- j
eluded today after having been in
progress since January 5. j
Leon Jones of Moselle. Miss, the '
last and only witness today, told of :
having seen two cars with masked
men near Lake LaFourche the night
Daniel and Richard were kidnapped
near Bastrop. Two bodies. Identified
as those of Daniel and Richard, were
found floating in the lake on Decern- j
ber 22.
Te Protect Witnesses
BASTROP. La, Jan. 25. Adjutant
General L. A. Toombs, in a formal
statement early today, announced that
be brought to Bastrop a message from
Governor John M. Parker to the peo
ple of Morehouse parish, expressing
determination to protect witnesses
who have testified at the open bearing
here.
The statement said In part:
"I have been Instructed by Gover
nor Parker to use my Judgment as to
the retention of troops In Morehouse
parish after completion of the open
bearing. 1 have carefully inquired
into the situation and am thoroughly
convinced that tbe presence of the
troops would not be necessary to
maintain law and order.
"All troops will be relieved from
duty today at noon. Should there be
a recurrence of disorder in the parish
In case the civil authorities fall to
mmitii,'n order will hare tv trJo;-
returned and declare martial law."

witnesses as having been members f
various matted parties. alo iKUied a
statement attacking the legality of
the hearing and tbe testimony given
by thse summoned t'J the stand.
Judge Earnett's statement tie first
formal comment for the defence, fol
lows in part:
"This bearing has been held under
section luls of the revised statues
of this state . i
"The statute does not provide that;
witnesses may be drawn before a
court and grilled and cross-examined.;
but is order that their depositions
may be taken.
"None of this has been done in
this case, therefore ibis whole pro
ceeding in my judgment is a nullity,
and the testimony adduced cannot be
legally used in any proceedings what
soever. It cannot even be used legally
before a grand jury, it would be bear
cay and any bill of indictment predi
cated upon this testimony would be
qnasned by the court.
"The corpus delicti has not been e
tabllsbed to a reasonable certainty, to
say nothing of the rule that it must
be established beyond a reasonable
doubt- Two bodies were found in
Lake Lafourche. Tbe eorener of the
parish. Dr. Pattison. a man of unques
tionable integrity and standing both
as a citlxcn and as a physician, was
not permitted to make any examina
tion of them. He never got closer
than forty feet bo the bodies while
they were yet In tiie water and he was
told that be could not make further
examination; while at the same time
two pathologists seemed to have al
ready been arranged with, even prior
to the finding of the bodies, who were
to come and make an- examination
which would disclose great brutality,
etc, as to tbe manner in which the
bodies found came to tbeir death.
And it might be said bere that their
testimony was not at all disappointlns
in this regard.
There is more than a doubt J.S ta
the identity of those bodies enter
tained in the minds of the people
cenerallv. Tbofce who heard the tes
timony without exce;tion entertaird
coca doubt and after the patialoEitts
had made their full report on the mat- '
ler there was a general unbelief left
upon the minds of all lair-mined .
lopie. "
"Many witnesses were called to
corned various and sundry pers'm''
with the mob that kidnapped and
carried away Daniel and Richard and
the testimony prod need showed every
ear mark of having been worked up
by agents of the department of jus-i
tic and was so conflicting that it
destroyed itself. It was manifest
from tbe very beginning that the
real motive behind the proseVulion
was to convict the Kn Klux Klan in
the forum of public opinion, without
regard as to whether or not the per
petrators of the crime would be un
covered. "Without exception there was no
material or vital point against any
individual established, except by the
most partisan testimony, and testi
mony which could not stand tbe fire
of cross examination or the test of
character necessary to give it verity.
"Tbe activities of the Ku Klux
Klan were gone into with great pains
and In my judgment, the evidence
does not sustain the charge that they
are responsible for this crime or bad
anything to do with it. I
