RETURNED TO SELMA
Parsons, Photographer, Who Attempted
 Familiarity With Young Woman

P. o. Parsons, photographer of Selma, who was arrested there on Tuesday and re- leased on $1,5O0 bond, jumped and came to Birmingham, where he was taken in charge by the police. Yesterday afternoon his bondsmen came from Selma and took him back to that city, where he is to ans wer in court on July Il.
 Parsons is charged with an attempted assault on Miss Mamie L. Davis. The young woman had called at Parsons $ studio for the purpose of being photo graphed. According to her story, while she was posing Parsons approached her and attempted to lay his hand on her shoulder. She indignantly repelled his fa- miliarity but he again attempted to put his hand on her. She then left the studio, and in little while an officer called and ar rested Parsons. The friends of Miss Davis were greatly wrought up, and Parsons friends, fearing violence might be done the prisoner, induced the mayor to release him under bond. The trial promises to be very sens ational.
