It was generally understood on the streets Friday that a Committee of Ku Klux had taken Jerry Green, colored, out to a point near Lovers Leap and given him a severe whipping that morning. We understand that the Ku Klux let it be known that they had positive proof that Jerry Green had been willfully exposing his person in the presence of little white girls, and that Green confessed to the crime.
