Anytime during the course of the investigation we could have brought it to an end by arresting several Klansmen for misdemeanor offenses; however, this was not my objective. Had these individuals strayed into the realm of felony offenses we most definitely would have taken them down and brought an end to the investigation. Until that bridge was crossed, I was determined to follow the intelligence trail as far as it would take me and learn as much as possible about the Colorado Springs chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.
