Title	Transcript of evidence, Niles Riot, 1924.
Subject	Ku Klux Klan (1915- )--Ohio.; Riots--Ohio.; Niles (Ohio)--Riot, 1924.
Description	Transcript of testimony from hearings concerning a riot involving the Ku Klux Klan in Niles, Ohio. Among those testifying were doctors who treated wounds, newspaper reporters, people who lived near the riot site, police, and members of the Klan.; The Ku Klux Klan was focused on Niles because of the Catholic population in the area. They had one march through town in May 1924, and then attempted another June 21of that same year. This march was met with great resistance, and had to be canceled due to violence. The March was rescheduled for November 1 of that year, with an approved permit from the Mayor. The Anti-Klan group, the Knights of the Flaming Circle promised their own parade of 10,000. On October 29, the Mayor's house was bombed, due to his refusal to revoke the permit. Tensions grew even tighter, and Niles gained national attention due to the impending marches. Despite the City's pleas for assistance from the militia, they were denied. The result was 18 hours of full-blown rioting. Control was brought to the town, requiring 10 days of martial law. Between both the Klan and Anti- Klan participants, 104 people were indicted.
