Hy ROSCOE IL 1 LIMING
IND! ‘NAIo11M Oct 12--D C
Stephenson is a young man who
was brought up in Oklahoma and
Texas and for SOMe years worked
as a printer in the mid-west
He obtained a COMMISS1011 dur-
nig the World War and there it
no record that his service was
anything but creditable
Mustered out In 1919 when ta
years old he became a member
of the Ku Klux Klan came to
Evansville Ind and started in
the coal business there
Ile was a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in 1920 but didn't get far
Ile became a speaker and an or-
ganizer for the Klan in Its first
great drive into IndianA
The next few years are chiefly a
record of his swift rise to power
and riches earned by his organiz-
ing ability his personal menet-
ism the silver tongue by which
he could sway multitudes to cheer-
ing crying emotion
Ile became the Indiana Grand
Dragon or state bead of the Klan
E STD! Tit of the power of the
Klan in Indiana at any one
time vary front 120000 to 400000
It is probable that I he latter fig-
ure more nearly coveis the total
of those vim at one time or an-
other paid their $10 'fee with $5
$40 extra for regalia and joineo
either the original Klan the vev-
men's organization or the numer-
ous offshoots which split off from
I he parent body even before the
!alter was fully organized
There were at one time 170
local Klan
-Sieve's" local leaders drafted
jurymen sheriffs judges In small
numbers) and count y off igials
I have beside me a loose-leaf
book containing his own private
1923 records of each county show-
ing a sickeningly large number of
county officials from judges
drmnward r ited as members or fa-
vonble He card-indexed every person In
the state who might be useful or
inimical
The Klansmen dug up an archaic
Indiana It permitted for-
mation of "Iforse Thief Detective"
a5sociations with certain police
powers and organied them as
oecualr Klan arms
Stephenson when he was ar-
tehted in 1925 took a badge of
membership off his vest
THE Hoosier Klan was at first
unchartered As Grand Drsvon
"St7ve" received a large percentage
of eve' y SIO contributed and a pre-
pertion of the $5 and $40 for re-
galia Estimate of the nmrity he made
Intl as high as $10000e0 of th-LI
$5000000 probably taken out of In-
diana's common folk by the Klan
One man hes told of seeing $470-
000 in Libeity BOIlds in Ins sale

D C Stephenson
said he had lost $120000 since he
Ivent to priso-
With his fortune he homM him-
self a big house in a quiet In-
dianapolis suburb a steam yacht
on Lake Erie a summer home cit
Buckeye Lake Ohio
Leader of the forces of righteous-
ness by day lie appears to have
lived by night the lite of an Ori-
ental monarch out of the Arabian
Nights
Quiet Irvington shuddered with
gossip cf his "parties" and prohibi-
tion enforcement officials tappd
ta find out where all the
liquor was coming from
HE bought a big cream-colored
airplane In this he would
swoop at night like an eagle into
the dazzle of searchlights upon
some Indiana landing field where
perhaps 10000 folk awaited him
like a new Messiah
In Lis flaming sumptuous robes
he would speak to them of Ideals
and honor until the sky echoed
with their shouts and weeping 'men
and W0111C11 cast money and Jcwds
onto the platform
Then he and his hangers-on per-
haps themselves klenglea or klazooks
and other weirdly-named officials
would go hack to the big house In
Irvington for a party
Re entertained off Cleveland In
his yacht during the 1924 Repub-
lican convention rind if his guest
lists are ever published a lot of
prominent folk will have to do some
explaining
Ile exchanged affectionately-inseribed
photographs signed "From
— or To-- The Old Man" with
celebrities
There was a panicky scramble to
hide these when he fell
B UT Stephenson's Klan phase is
after all only his first phase
The Klan's national officers be-
came uneasy 1 nvesti gat ed his life
and in the fall of 1923 they say
suspended hint end in 3uly ol 1924
they claim expelled and ostracized
This expulsion had only this ef-
fect: Steve's tic followers

numbering a large proportion of
! Ileesier Klandom slinply followed
lino out of the Klan
The Klan had by that time elect-
cd the officials of many if not
most Indiana COUntles through ho
dominant party besides ether
port ant officials
These Men were mostly Steve's
pick so he simply found himself
with plenty of money at Ow head
of a powerful well-olled poll t
machine
The "Old Man" became adviser to
pot cid pont icians A candidate
foi governor eanipaigneti in his cat
The Indianapilis Times tie
the Seripps-iloward Newspapers has
recently published a letter in
2vhicli Steve claims to have m)ent
Va000 to Will the pritnary for this
man RS well as checks to account
for part of it
In his hlack boxes now in posses-
sion of the prosecutors he stored
away checks contracts and signed
patronage agreements with nutny
who achieved offive
TIEN came the crash
Early in Ma Steve was ac-
of hiring all hVillgt011 girl
to 1Ii big house taking
hotel in Ilainmend mci e11 the
aid of his bodyguards
She took slow poison -tat riled
after six weeks Steve was arrest-
ed on assault charges before her
cleat h
When she died he xvis re-arrested
charged with murder On April
20 1925 Crow his last free
breath
The girl left a circumstantial
statement telling how she had
met Stephenson at Governor Jack-
son's ininwural ball and had only
a casual acquaint awe Ivith him
until in March when she was
asked by phone to COMO tO ii Is
house for it minute and walked
the three blocks from her own
home vvithont even a hat think-
ing she'd only be gone a minute
The state went mad Steve and
his bodyguarda were tried for
murder at Noblesville Ind
CIEVE arranged his documents
had them photographed anti
concealed in I safe place by the
friends whose loyal adherence
men until the present time shewa
the strength of his ability to bind
men to him and took lila punish-
ment —trusting to his friends in
office to get him out when the
storm blew over and public
opinion quieted down
Ile was found guilty hie co-defendante
going free and sentenced
to life in the state penitentiary
When he entered its high walls
he ceased to trouble Indiana at
least openly until a year ago
when he "blew the lid off" from
hie cell by smuggled-out letters
which said he could and would
reveal all the corruption Of which
he bad been a part and from
which others were profitim
he worked In the prison chair
factory
What came of this will be told
