Mrs. Ellard Alleges Death
of Husband Result of
Conspiracy
WANTS $4,000 FROM
EACH DEFENDANT
Both Sheriff McAdory and Deputy
Metcalfe Say They Are Ready to
Have Matter Threshed
Out in Courts

Mrs. NJ A. Ellard, widow of Felix J.
Elard, who was shot from ambush and
instantly killed on March IS, 1912, on the
highway near his home at Lewisburg, has
filed suits amounting to 100000 against
Sheriff Walter X. McAdory and his chief
deputy, Walter l.. Metcalfe, alleging that
IAN act of conspiracy on their part was
responsible for the death of her hus-
band.
The suits were filed in the city court of
Birmingham by Allen & Bell and ]. M.
Russell two separate suits being filed.
The style of the suit is IN. A. Ellard,
Administrative of the estate of Felix j.
Ellard vs. Walter X McAdory sheriff"
The plaintiff claims $4,000 damages. al
leging that Felix J. Ellard was shot and
killed by Thomas (Teck) A. Duncan
while acting as the servant or employe
OF the sheriff as a deputy.
The complaint further alleges that
there was " an act of unlawful con-
spiracy'' to kill Ellard between Sheriff
McAdory and Deputy Metcalfe and that
he was killed by Duncan in furtherance of
the alleged conspiracy.
Chief Deputy Metcalfe is also sued by
the same party and for the same amount
The plaintiff claims $4,000 damages, al
legng that Ellard was killed by Teck
Duncan and that at the time of the
killing Duncan was in the employe of
Deputy Metcalfe, and that the killing
was the result of conspiracy between
the two parties.
Felix j. Ellard was killed on the aft
ernoon of March IS, 1872. while returning
to his home from Birmingham. He was
shot from ambush and apparently the
assassin made his escape. A few days
later Thomas A. Duncan was arrested
and placed in the county Jail charged with
the murder. Later Henry Cole was also
arrested and the two men were indicted
by the grand jury charging them with
the murder of Ellard. After the case
against Henry Cole had been passed sew
eral times he was released on bond
through habeas corpus proceedings. Tecn
Duncan was tried in the criminal court
found guilty and sentenced to life inn
prisonment. He gave notice of appeal
which he later withdrew and went to the
penitentiary to serve his sentence. 1t be-
gan to be rumored that he had made a
full confession of his connection with
the crime and implicated Henry Cole,
who was at the time in the employ of
the sheriff as a deputy. 1t was also
rumored that Duncan in his confession
implicated the sheriff's office. Duncan
appeared before the recent grand jury
and it is understood made his confess
sion before them. The grand jury failed
to indict the sheriff, but indicted Deputy
Metcalfe, charging him with being an
accessory after the fact, which is mis-
demeanor.
When seen last night neither Sheriff
McAdory nor Mr. Metcalfe would make
a statement other than that they were
ready at any time to have the matter
adjudicated by the courts and were not
in the least uneasy as to the outcome.

Col. IL. Y. Brooke for president of the
Alabama convict bureau.
From Montgomery that tip came YES
terday, and il smacked of truth. If was
discussed generally on the streets
throughout the day. and people believed.
". c. Agee, member of the excise com
mission of this county, was mentioned in
an unauthorized guess, yesterday after
noon. He said:
z Il went to Montgomery to see If 7 could
not be of some service TO the governor in
his present moment of worry and dis
tress. 1 regret that my name was men
toned. l do not want the office of presi-
dent of the convict bureau. | could not
accept it were it rendered"
There seems to be no question but that
James G. Oakley will not be permitted
longer to serve the state as president of
the convict board. 1t is generally under
stood that he win be permitted to resign.
and that his resignation will be forth
coming in the very near future 1t is
thought that Immediately thereafter
Governor O'Neal will appoint Colonel
Brooke, and that he will accept. Other
men mentioned as probabilities are J..
Craig Smith and J. Lee Long
Reports from Montgomery yesterday
were to the effect that there would be a
general shake-up in the department. II
is considered possible that Inspector L. F.
