State of Tennessee

Personally appeared before me Alexander Moore (col'd) resident of Marshall County, State of Tenn. who being duly sworn deposes and says:

That the KuKlux Klan have driven him from his house  - that on the 11th of July they called to him while he was working in the field and ordered him to come to them - that he went the other way and would not obey them. They then told Burt Owen (col'd) that they would pay him if he would tell where he (Alexander) staid that they intended to kill him, but could never find him, that they would kill him if he was in the County that night, that he left the place and went two miles from home and staid in a cornfield. On the 13th inst he left the County, and came to Nashville where he is now staying.
