Fisher Protests
His Story Is True.

Detectives were puzzled Thursday
over the persistence with which Ira
w. Fisher, the man of mystery "
the Phagan murder case" sticks &c
his original story involving anothe,
man in the Staying of Mary Phagar
and declaring Leo NJ. Frank Is limo.
cent. The man Is an enigma, which
detectives are assiduously seeking Is
solve, not because of any importance
they attach to his remarkable recital
but In an effort to ascertain the real
motive that prompted him to jump
into the Frank case in such a sensa-
tional manner.
Despite the severe grillings he has
undergone already. Fisher has not
shown the slightest signs of weaken
ing. and Thursday morning reiterat-
ed his story with the same show Of
confidence that marked his first mar
ration. Ridicule and the frank charge
that he is lying" are all the same
to him-neither disturbs him He
only smiles when told that he is in =
'frame-up,' or is accused of being
"dopester' or a 'lunatic"
Nothing to Take Back"
I'll go to the penitentiary for life
before I'll ever change my story in
the least-rve told just what hap
pened, and there's nothing for me to

Shirley's Attorneys
Charge Old Grudge.

Charles j. Graham, attorney for J.
C. Shirley, the Atlanta merchant, the
attempted victim OF Ira w. Fisher
returned from an investigation OF
Fishers actions in Birmingham
Thursday.
Mr.. Graham held a long conference
with Chief of Detectives Lanford upon
his arrival and Fisher was brought
from his cell for another cross-ex
animation.
The lawyers trip mainly was for
purpose of locating Joe Hicks, who
1t is declared. played a leading role
in the Fisher fiasco when ii was first
revealed before Chief Of Police Bo-
deker, of Birmingham. Hicks Is said
to have taken Fisher to the Bir-
mingham police official and induced
him to tell the story which accused
Shirley of Mary Phagan's murder.
Investigation in the Alabama CITY,
Mr.. Graham said, failed to reveal the
mysterious Hicks. 1t was declared
there that he had disappeared fol-
against Shirley.
The attorney, however, said that
he had obtained evidence which will
tend to show a motive for Fishers
fabrication.
From what Fisher told Chief Be-
deker according to Graham, he had
a private grudge against Shirley and
sought revenge.
When questioned on this point
Thursday, however. Fisher denied any
motive of that kind.
Fisher is held at police headquar-
ters on several serious charges in
connection with his story. Graham
declared his investigation had not
been completed.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-President
Wilson to-day issued his Thanksgiving
Day proclamation, setting Thursday,
November 81, as the day on which the
people of the United States shall offer

The proclamation says:
I'VE not only have had peace through

ton of a great work at the Isthmus Of
Panama, which not only exemplifies the
nations abundant resources to accom-
plish what 1t will, but also promises new
achievements of cooperation and

turning so that their eyes might take
a last look at the place where these
old kings and queens had lain in peace

POSTED ON HORSES.
The Tribute an English Expert Paid to
a Baltimore Jurist.

Baltimore Jurist.
Once when Judge J. Upshur Dennis
was abroad he visited the Duke Of
Westminster estate, Eaton Hall. in
Chester. He went unceremoniously
enough and directly to the stables. He
was told by the person who looked
after those horses of august blood and
breeding extraordinary that they could
not be viewed except by permission in
writing of the duke.
Judge Dennis had passed the duke
on the road going up to London. Any
way, he had no intention of asking per.
mission in writing. He leaned over
the paddock gate and looked at the
horses inside.
He saw gray horse that attracted
him, and he remarked to the keeper of
the place that that particular horse Tin
dicatingl must have in him double
cross Of Chanticeer, a famous race
horse that lived GOO or 500 years ago
1t was indeed true. and his remark
established all the freemasonry needed
for day in the stable. Judge Dennis
told his guide more about the horses
than the keeper Of the stable archives
knew himself. 49, He traced relations
here and identified crosses there.
"If all the stud books in the world
we're destroyed" the stable steward
told the visitor when the tour of the
stables was completed. you, sir. could
rewrite them all from memory. "-Balti-
