Lumberton, N.C., July 28—E.F. Randolph, reputed grand dragon of the North Carolina realm of the ku klux klan arrived here late today and held a conference in the county jail with H.L. Tallaferro, alleged klan detective, who has been confined during the last seven days in default of $5,000 appeal bond fixed by judge Sinclair, following conviction last Saturday on a charge of tampering with state’s witnesses in the noted “women flogging” case, tried last week.
Randolph’s conference with Taliferro followed a conference with the latter’s counsel. Reports that officials of the klan from Atlanta also visited the jail today could not be confirmed, but several men were seen to enter the jail from an automobile bearing a Georgia license number.
From the front page of the Durham Morning Herald, Sunday, July 29, 1923. Klan detective’s name spelled Tallaferro and Talliferro in newspaper.
