Bastrop, La., Jan. 10—Addie May Hamilton, known as the “daughter of the klan,” declared on the stand in the opening hearing of the investigation today into the slaying of Watt Daniels and Thomas Rickards that she was forced to leave her home near Mer Rouge and was deported from the state by the Ku Klux.”
She named Dr. B.M. McKoin, former mayor of Mer Rouge, and “Bink” Kirkpatrick as two of the party of men who, she testified, came to her mother’s home one night, took her away and put her aboard a train for Little Rock, Arkansas, the home of her sister.
The young woman gave her age as 17 years.
