Klan Fake

August 6, 1924, Menasha Record

There's no end to the monkey business inherent in trying to silence a witness or accuser, no matter what the era.  In the KKK rampant days of the early 20th century, this trick was attempted via a fear ongoing in the newspapers of the time, of a resurgence in Klan activity.  Thank goodness we had the Klan, headquartered in Oshkosh no less, to quell the furor caused by the bogus letter.
