From The Indianapolis Times, Tuesday, June 16, 1925: A copy of the dying declaration of Madge Oberholtzer, for whose murder former Indiana Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon D. C. Stephenson and his co-defendants Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry are charged, was given to the defense at today’s bail hearing for the defendants. The dying declaration was made available to the defense by Marion County prosecutor William Remy with the condition that the defense would agree to introduce it in evidence. After introducing the statement as evidence, the defense made a motion to strike out its vital points which was overruled by Hamilton County Circuit Court Judge Fred E. Hines and the dying declaration stood as originally signed by Madge Oberholtzer. Later, Judge Hines denied bail for Stephenson and his co-defendants, and they will continue to remain in jail pending their trial.
