The Black Legion was described by the Oakland county grand Jury today as a terror ist organization with political ambi tions which far outran the abilities of Its members. The report, prepared by Circuit Judge George B. Hartrtck, of Pontlac, was submitted as 12 men went on trial here for the Black Legion "exe cution" of Charles A. Poole. "As conceived the Black Legion was a klan with a vengeance, organized to accomplish Its objects by force and violence, if necessary; It was a black klan," said Judge Hartrick's summary of the findings of the Oakland coun ty grand Jury investigation. The report named 88 state, county, and city employes as members of the hooded order, but said: "The grand Jury has been unable to find any evidence that the Black Legion la an organization of fascist character. No evidence of for eign money to finance the Black Le gion has been found." "Certain It is that the men who are listed as officers of the Black Legion in Oakland county ere not possessed of even average Intelligence upon gov ernmental affairs, and the ordinary concerns of life. They do not possess the qualities necessary to attract men to their command. "They are not leaders, nor even worthy followers." The report declared that "hysteric al or unthinking action will not cure the curse of bigotry, prejudice and 'playboy antics which lead adult men under the moon at night, In hood and robe, to tinker with the consti tutional safeguards which our fore fathers vouchsafed nearly 150 years ago." Judge Hartrtck, who has been con ducting hearings for several weeks, said that the Black Legion In Oak land county was disrupted by the dickering of politicians who sought to gain votes. "The first 300 members were klans men who dyed their white robes black." ... . . . .

Claim Beat I riff Received. The brothers said they were beaten before they began to shoot. Their father advised them to hide out until threats of lynching had abated. Posse members watched the vicinity of the Brlte home at Salt Gulch, a mile and a half from the scene of the shooting, in the belief the fugi tives might return for food and treat ment of their wounds. Some residents of the mountain re gion quietly expressed sympathy for the brothers. One said they were "(rood boys when they were not drink- tag, but It didn't pay to 'cross1 them when they were drunk," Prlenda, It waa believed, may have permltte4 the brothere to "hole In" until the fever of the search dlea. Charles Baker, who brought the as sault charge and escaped when the shooting began, was warned to leave his home, near the 135-are Brlte homestead, but he declared he "would stick around' Bonered Armed.

Near her stood her 65-year-old hus. band, A. J. Belts, a former Tcr.r.ce? mountaineer, who earlier announced he had advised his sons to hide out until the lynching talk died down. Mrs. Brlte. who signed "Mom" to her appeal, declared: "I guesa they ought give themselves up, but If It comes to shooting they can take care of themselves. They won't never lend themselves to no lynchln'." The father, called "Pop" by his sons, amoked his clay pipe aa he ex pressed belief "the boys must have been tatallwl Into actln' like that." Both Injured. Brlte disclosed that his sons, who visited the parents' home before flee ing early Sunday, were both Injured.

Only 2 per cent had ; the type of constipation that would not respond to All-Bran. All-Bran Is guaranteed. Try it week. If not satisfactory, your money will be refunded by the i Kellogg Company.
