"MR. WILLIAMSON. Well, when I went to Atlanta I found that the imperial palace itself, which had been bought in part with Klan funds, was in the name of Mr. Clarke. I found that the home of Mr. Simmons, which had been bought in part with Klan funds, was in Mr. Clarke's name. I found also that some $21,000 of Klan funds had been given the Lanier University without security. And in that connection I might say this: That whenever anybody pays his $10 for the purpose of joining this Klan, he is given a receipt which says that this money is received in trust for the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (Inc.). That is printed on each and every receipt. "MR. CAMPBELL. What is the amount that has been paid out for salaries of officers in Atlanta--out of the money that has been collected, if you know? "MR. WILLIAMSON. Well, I can tell you that, from the propagation department alone, $15,247 has been paid as executive salaries. "MR. CAMPBELL. To whom has that been paid? "MR. WILLIAMSON. Well, I take it, from the word "executive," that it must be Mr. Clarke, and Mrs. Tyler, because they are the two executives of that department. Then the field men--they are the Kleagles--have been paid, in round numbers, $464,000. That would be $5 out of the $10, of which $4 would go to the Kleagle and $1 would go to the King Kleagle. That uses up $5. Then 50 cents goes to the Grand Goblin. And it is all used up but $4.50 and $2 goes to the Klan. "MR. CAMPBELL. And all of the $8, then, is used up in paying officers or agents of the Klan? "MR. WILLIAMSON. That is true. "MR. CAMPBELL. How much of the remaining $2 has been spent, if you know, for the benefit of needy people, or for helpful purposes in communities--charitable purposes? "MR. WILLIAMSON. Well, if you call Mr. Simmons a needy person, then some thousands of dollars have been spent for him. But general charity, I do not think, has received any of it; at least it does not appear on the accounts. "MR. CAMPBELL. What is Mr. Simmons' salary, if you know? "MR. WILLIAMSON. Mr. Simmons at present gets $1,000 a month. He has been getting that since the first of August." When questioned as to the activities of Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, Mr. Williamson described her as a business woman who was engaged in the work of propagating Ku Kluxism as she would in any other mercantile pursuit, without any altruistic motives whatever. This is brought out in the following colloquy: "MR. CAMPBELL. It is purely a business proposition, so far as she is concerned? "MR. WILLIAMSON. Absolutely. "MR. CAMPBELL. She is using the mysticism, the regalia, the paraphernalia, the masks, and all of the literature of the order for the purpose of making money out of it? Is that correct?
