It cited George Deatherage of St Albans W Va as linked to anti Semitic propaganda and a supposed conference with Father Coughlin John Frey and Homer Chaillaux to discuss a Communist revolution. Dudley Pierpont Gilbert testified he feared a revolution before snow flies and was working on a Kentucky house. A Harmonie Club waiter was said to have overheard plot details. The panel said a carefully chosen list spread the information via Campbell and Erwin Campbell Owensboro Ky testified about disseminating it. A purported letter from Deatherage to Campbell referenced an unnamed army general as leader of a counter revolutionary group planned to operate from a GHQ in Atlanta.
