CASE Threats of legal proceedings were made today by J. W. Diehl, manager of the Valencia hotel, in connection with reports spread abroad during the publicity of the Clark Ku Klux Klan case. Diehl said that because Clark had been proprietor and manager of the hotel and had had a room there, the hotel had acquired the reputation of being a nest for bootleggers. The present hotel manager declared that if he had been able to obtain any legal redress from the Klan, which he said he believed was at the bottom of the reports, he would not have waited for any action by Clark. If guests bring liquor into the hotel, Clark said, the management has no right to question them about it, much less search them. Every hotel is in the same position, Diehl asserted. Diehl said further that he would like to find out who the man was who sent Clark the klan letter, as reported. Reports that another prominent businessman had received a threatening klan letter were confirmed by the man himself, who said he was taking legal steps not only in the way of defense, but aggression. "I know who sent it, all right," said this man. Indications that the klan has turned its attention to the country districts was afforded by Archibald D. Paxton, a rancher of the Serraro-rd, northeast of the Villa Park bridge, who visited Santa Ana and purchased an ample supply of guns and ammunition for himself and Charles Witty, a neighbor. Two sawed-off shotguns with buckshot will be their principal means of defense. They also have communicated with Sheriff C. E. Jackson and other police authorities, some of whom have visited Paxton's place. Paxton said several men in a covered auto followed him from Orange and stopped at Witty's house.
