Florid, convivial Edward James Smythe, onetime speaker at Bund and Ku Klux Klan rallies, held up proceedings for two days while FBI agents were sent to fetch him, spluttering indignantly, from a fishing trip near the Canadian border. There were also George Deatherage, founder of the Knights of the White Camellia; Howard Victor Broenstrupp, alias the Duke of St. Saba, alias Count Cherep-Spiridovich, etc. Nine of the defendants were already interned or in jail. They arrived...
