AS TRIAL OPENED
First 200 Members Were
Klansmen Who Dyed
Robes After Bickering
Broke Out Among Leaders
DETROIT, Sept. 1. 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." ... . . . .

YREKA, Calif., Sept. 1. (AP) Be
lief that friends may be concealing
two brothers sought as the slayers of
three men, or that the fugitives have
escaped through rough mountain
country Into Oregon was expressed by
posse members today.
The brothers, John H, Brlte, 30, and
Coke T. Brlte, 34. vanished after the
killings early Sunday.
Visiting the home of their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. A. J, Brlte, former Ten
nessee mountaineers, the brothers
said they had thought they were being
attacked when the officers and a for
mer navy officer, on vacation, visited
their camp at Horse Creek to serve
assault warrants.
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.
The brothera are believed to be
armed with a pistol and a rile.
Sheriff Chandler synchronised the
work of his 104 possemen with the
Oregon state police from Klamath
and Jackson counties. Oregon men
were guarding four main roada lead
ing into the Siskiyou mountains and
tralla where the brothers might
emerge.
In California, Sheriff Chandler,
aided by dogs, was searching through
the valleys and over the ridges. In
dian woodsmen, acting as scouts,
went five miles ahead of the main
groups of searchers.
Mrs. Brlte wrote an appeal for her
sons to surrender, In which she said:
"The aherlff has promised a square
deal and I am sure he will keep his
promise."
Mother Urges Surrender.
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.
Joohn, he eald, had three heed cuts
and a slashed arm and Coke a twisted
leg end gaah In his hesd.
State and county authorities prom
ised full protection against lynching
for the two suspected slayera of
Deputy Sheriff Martin Lange, 48,
Constable Joseph Clark, 65, and Fred
Searborn, 50. a former navy officer.
"There must be no lynchlngs In
California," Governor Merrlam said at
Sacramento. The governor said he
would call out the national guard if
necessary to prevent violence.

GUARANTEED RELIEF
FROM CONSTIPATION
Common constipation ! usually
due to meals low in "bulk." Pills
and druga give only ta.r.porary re
lief. The aenaible thing to do is to
put "bulk" back into your meals.
Millions of people get this needed
"bulk" In s delicious cereal: Kel
ljgg's All-Bran. Its "bulk" Is
much like that in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, it absorbs mois
ture, forms a soft mass, gently
cleanses the system.
Some years ago, an investigation
was made among thousands of AfX-
Bran users. 98 per cent found It
satisfactory. 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.
Just eat two tableapoonfuls dally, !
either as cereal or in cooked dishes.
All-Bran is sold by all grocers.
Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
