Ku Klux Klansmen
in McKinney Uaurch
The first public: appearance ot
ivnigbts ot the Ku Klux Klau at
.vieKinney occurred at tin Presby
terian ebureh Sunday night, wlun
six klansmen wearing white robes
and hoods, mysteriously entered
the church and silently walked
down the aisle to the chancel
where they halted. One figure
deposited a letter addressed to
Rev. E. 13. Fincher on the pulpit
stand and as mysteriously and si-
lently as they had entered, march
eel out of the church, and were
whisked away in a wailnig auto-
mobile. No one seemed to know
whence they came or whither
they went.
There was a large congregation
present to hear Dr. Fincher’s
sermon closing Ids twelve year
pastorate here. The moment the
klansmen entered the church, ab-
solute silence reigned, and all eyes
were riveted on the robed ana
hooded figures as they dramati-
cally entered and departed from
the building.
Following is a copy of the let- ]
ter signed by the klan:
"While you are not a member
of our great organization, still, :
knowing as we do, that your heart
is with us mid that you stand for
and endorse the same principles
that we do, we want to express
to you our deep regrets at your
decision to leave McKinney,
' We also realize had there beeti
more men of your type, there
would never have been any use
' for the Knights of the Ku' Klux
Klan.
Let. IIS .say to you, no matter
where fate of circumstance may
h ad you we will always remem-
ber you with the deepest friend
slop and sincerest regard. And
we also wish to make this state
ment: Should you now or later
need our assistance in any way
or at any time, let us know and
we will heed the call.
And now, let us say in con-
clusion, no matter where the Al
mighty God may call you, we
shall always think of you an
fighting for the great principles
so dear to all one hundred per
cent Americans.”
13. B. Carpenter, of Plano, j-
a member of the present term of
the Collin county district court
grand jury. Mr. Carpenter in
form, the Star Courier that the
grand jury took recess last Sat
unlay, after a session of sever
days, and will reconvene again
on Monday, March 20. Up to the
hour of adjournment forty-five
indictments had been found
thirty four for felonies and twen-
ty-one for misdemeanors. A nu<*
her of eases under investigation
are carried over until tin- next
silting of the grand jury in
March. Petty thievihg and for-
geries seem to he the predomimit
ing classes of crime.
