Raleigh, Sept. 27—A Wake county jury convicted Tom Dunn, local private detective, of false pretense following testimony in superior court yesterday, that he as an organizer for the United Clansmen solicited a $10 initiation fee from an applicant for membership in the Ku Klux Klan.
The United Clansmen, a rival and, allegedly, an imitator of the Ku Klux Klan, has existed here for some time.
W.P. Jones, a farmer, testified that he paid Dunn $10 for what he thought was an admittance fee in the Ku Klux Klan.
