Klan Member Does Not Recall Any Time That Black Was (Ever) Seen At 251st Lodge

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Although the Harvard Faculty is remarkably reticent about expressing any opinion on the famous Black case, August J. Saxler ocC, a choir boy form Birmingham, Ababa, who claims relationship with the much lamented Court Justice, is sure it just isn't so.

According to Saxler, who besides singing in the left of the Church of St. Mary, is a member of the KKK (Ku King Kian) he has never met Black at any of the sacred meetings of the 251st Lodge in Birmingham.

"I am certain," he says, "that Mr. Black has never been a real member, so to speak of the Kian. I have seen him often and he never told me. Despite that however, I feel he might be a good justice."

'How did, then, the reports of the Pittsburgh paper get all his information? Saxler didn't quite know how to tackle this one, and admitted his five years of study as a Yale man hadn't helped him much. However, he did a feel that it might be, as Professor Holcombe said, a "partial truth."

"But only partial," he added, "and very partial at that. He might have been a member in Georgia, but I don't see how that would help him win an election in Alabama. It really is quite mysterious to me how he ever did win."

At this point, Saxler's roommate, Herbert McCutchio Wilton said that Saxler could not be trusted in his statements. Said Wilton, who beasts an English accent he modestly calls "New York," and who lives in Kansas City, Missouri: "Being a life long friend of Black's, August really isn't quite a fair judge of the matter. However, he has convinced me that in this one instance he is right. We had a quite a long debate on the matter at the dinner table, and though some of his remarks were like a ship ghosting through the fog so was Black's silence."

Last night, in Dunster House, Saxler or one of his KKK brothers seemed to be putting their ideals into practice, probably out of protest to the proposed Black radio speech. Flory crosses, crudely constructed from paper but none-the-less grimly reminiscent of there real thing, floated down through the air of the main Court.

One of these not was enough; another and yet another burned in the late evening sky, newspaper after newspaper rolling out of the windows. As one resident expressed it: "Perhaps KKK terrorism is not confined to the deep South."
