In a stark display of justice, three confessed members of the Ku Klux Klan faced the music in a Tulsa, Oklahoma courtroom yesterday. Ben F Sikes, Grover C Sikes, and Karl Sack, all residents of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to charges of riot stemming from the brutal flogging of local farmer Ben Wagner. The Sikes brothers and Sack, who owned up to their participation in the heinous crime, threw themselves on the mercy of the court, hoping for leniency.
