The "Emperor" was on the stand for three days and his testimony before the committee with its accompanying exhibits fill over a hundred printed pages of the record of the proceedings. Analyzing his statements, I should say that in many respects he was an excellent witness who verified completely the charges made against his organization by the _New York World_ and myself. Denouncing me for repudiating my oath of allegiance to his "Invisible Empire" by exposing its secrets, he proceeded to go much farther than I had done, by turning over to the committee his ritual, oath and many other documents to which I had never had access. His testimony can be classed partly as confession and avoidance; partly as denial of facts that were clearly proven by the _World_; partly as attempted cheap wit that had no element of humor whatever in it; considerable denunciation of the _World_ and of myself; many wild and erratic statements without foundation of fact; and a great deal of praise both for himself and for the organization he represented. Among his denials, for example, he stated that Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler had no connection with the organization except as an assistant of Clarke in his publicity work. This statement was made in the face of the fact that less than thirty days previously he had issued a "ukase" making the Queen of South Pryor Street his "Grand Chief of Staff." He denied that the Klan at Beaumont, Tex., had perpetrated the outrages against Doctor Paul, when it had been proven under the official seal of that Klan that it had maltreated Paul. He denied responsibility in the Pensacola and Mobile cases, in spite of the fact that he had taken official action himself. He denied that he had given the interview to the _Searchlight_ previously mentioned, in which he predicted direful things would happen to the enemies of the Klan. These are merely a few denials of previously established facts, facts so well established that any jury in the country would accept them. He was particularly bitter against the _World_, and lost no opportunity of denouncing it. Included in some of his choicest attacks on the paper were the following: "The attacks against the Klan were originated and started by the _New York World_, which is owned or controlled by a Jew, Mr. Pulitzer, whose main purpose is circulation and revenue. The circulation manager of this paper stated to one of the newspaper trade publications, the editor and publisher of New York which published this statement, that the Ku Klux attacks had added a hundred thousand circulation to the _World_ and additional advertising.
