PROBE
New York, pec. .17?The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People relays from the New
York Times a special despatch to that1
newspaper naming the Ku Klux Elan
in connection with lynching threats
against three Negroes removed from
Media jail to the Eastern Penitentiary
in Philadelphia for safe-keeping
Tw0 of the three Negroes are to be
electrocuted for murder, the third is
to be tried. The Times despatch says
"An investigation probably will be
made of reports that the Ku Klux
??Klmt, said To be strongly entrepched
in Chester, Linwood and otjier rom'
nudities in the County,' may have
been cognizant of the alleged plot to
storm the jail at Media and lynch
the colored slayers."
