Aside from showing up the records of a precious pair of "uplifters," the Clarke-Tyler episode has no great bearing upon the menace of Ku Kluxism. But the aftermath of the story's publication developed two sinister things that make necessary its introduction into this narrative. One of these was the printing in the _Searchlight_ of a violent article which was practically a call to arms against the Catholics and others who were attacking the Klan. The other was the theft of the police records in the city of Atlanta, covering the cases against Clarke and Mrs. Tyler, obviously an inside job and showing the extent to which Ku Kluxism had control of the public officials of that city. The incendiary article in the _Searchlight_ from the pen of one Carl F. Hutcheson was headed "American Patriots, Hark!" "American patriots! The womanhood of this country has been criminally assaulted in the most diabolical and satanic manner known to the human race--_an attempt_ has been made to ruin the character of a good woman by the most dastardly methods of current times. That dastardly, cowardly and infamous instrument of murder comprises certain daily and powerful newspapers of this country! "Murder! Yes, murder of the worst type! Those murderers who wield the pen, and strew infamy throughout every nook and corner of this nation by their millions of papers with their thunder-bolts of publicity against fair woman! Every word written in opposition to a great patriotic woman of Atlanta reeks with the blood of a grand innocent lady of Southern birth and standing. A woman's character destroyed (only temporarily), but that arch enemy of Americanism, the _New York World_, and its string of subsidized, patronizing, fawning and syncophantic sheets through America, commonly called 'newspapers,' but which are nothing more than organs, _and specialists as character assassins of the most despicable, contemptible and depraved sort_!
