Colonel Thomas B. Fielder on Wed
nesday morning declared the Gentry
affidavit was a complete vindication
for himself The attorney stated that
the explanation contained in the ste
nographer's sworn statement on its
face showed that Colyar and Chief Of
Detectives Lanford had been in a
miserable conspiracy to ruin his Gel

him guilty of attempted bribery.
1t bears out my contention that
the entire matter was a frame-up on
the part of Lanford and his hirelings,"
declared Colonel Fielder. "Gentry's
affidavit is a complete vindication.
Everyone agrees with me now that l
was the innocent victim of a dirty
conspiracy.
