Fires With Intention of Killing Bud Harmon, Who Is
Charged With Numbering Attorneys Brother n-Law.
Meal Orders Grand Jury Reassembled to
Probe Affair

Montgomery. May 5.-(Special)-w. J..
Fuller, a young attorney of Montgom-
cry, dashed through the entrance door at
the county Jail Monday morning. ran to
the cell where Jim, alias Bud Harmon,
negro, charged with the murder of his
brother-in-law, David A. Thurman, was
confined, and fired a promiscuous shot
which struck Bernard Tarver, another
negro prisoner Six hours later Gov
ernor O'Neal had completed a personal
investigation and ordered Judge Armstead
Brown to reassemble the grand jury to
indict Fuller for assault with intent to
murder.
Fuller did not leave the jail after he
nred the shot but was charged with as
sault to murder and carrying concealed
pistol. He will not be allowed bond until
physicians determine how serious Tar
ver's injury is. The prisoner was struck
in the leg, but the wound may cause blood
poisoning.
Soon after Governor O'Neal heard the
news he went TO the county jail and COM
manded Sheriff Hood to make a report

Fuller gained entrance to the jail by
running through the door when J. E.
Cheney, day jailer, opened it to allow W.
c. Frizzle, deputy sheriff, to enter to
get an insane prisoner.
The jailer and deputy ran toward Fuller
and he saw that he could not single out
Harmon, so he fired a shot toward where
he thought the prisoner was. His pistol
was wrested from him after he had dis
charged only one chamber.
Threats had been made by Fuller and
Sheriff Hood had warned deputies not to
allow him inside the prison, although he
was an attorney and had been granted the
courtesy. lie watched for his oppor-
tunity and dashed through just as the
door was opened.
Governor O'Neal was indignant when
informed of the shooting and reports
that impeachment proceedings would be
entered against Sheriff Hood but further
inquiry furnished the information that
the sheriff was not responsible. NF
After Fuller had been placed in a, cell
the sheriff issued an order, preventing the
entrance of every person unless accom-
panied by a deputy "I'n know no one
from now on and every person must be
accompanied by a deputy" said Sheriff
Hood.
