A partial solution of the mystery
that surrounded the disappearance.
about a year ago. of \Viliiam H. Lock-
wood, 82-year-old civil war veteran of
Roton avenue. Rowayton. has been
made by The Evening Sentinel. which
has located Mr. Lockwood in Balti-
more, liid.. where he is making his
home with his son. W. H. Lockwood.
Jr.. and his nephew. Jesse Linder.
Lockwood declared that he had re-
cently received a communication from
the South Norwalk organisation of the
Ku Klux Klan. in which he was
threatened with tar and feathers and
60 lashes on his bare back unless he
returned to his wife and son here. He
thee sought the protection of the Bal-
timore police and stated to them that
i he had fled this city in fear of his life
because his wife had attempted to
murder him. shortly before he left his
home here. ‘
' The letter which Lockwood declares
he received was crudely printed with
s. pencil, us if to disguise the writing
of the sender. and read as follows:
"Your name was handed in at our
last lodge meeting. We had our
brother klansmen in Baltimore to in-
vestigate you and find you are not liv-
ing as you should at your age.
“We ask you to do one of two
things. either go back to your wife
and children or to his terred and
feathered and get 60 lashes on your
' bare back. ~

welk. Commend Lockwood declared
