Shirley's Attorneys
Charge Old Grudge.

Charles j. Graham. attorney Tor 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 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
it is declared, played a leading role
in the Fisher fiasco when it was first
revealed before Chief of Police Bo
deker, of Birmingham. Hicks is said
to have taken Fisher to the Biz
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-
lowing the expose Of the accusations
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 Bo-
deker, according to Graham, he had
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.

The Fulton County Grand Jury re-
turned nineteen true bills and one

The most important indictment re-
turned was that of W. M. Heard, of

Heard told a pathetic story of a

FISHER INDICTED
IN DALTON AS
SLAYER
Latest Sensation-Maker in Pha-
gan Case Charged With Kill
ing Man 5 Years Ago,

DALTON, oct. 23.-Ira Fisher, the
ton in the Frank case, was to-day
indicted for murder by the Grand Jury
in session here.
The bill of indictment charges him
with killing his brother-in-laW Dug
Steele
Steele was found dead beside the
Southern Railway tracks near the
northern limits of Dalton about five
years ago. 1t appeared that a train
had passed over him, for his head was
cut off and the body mangled, but
owing to an absence of blood it was
thought he had been killed and placed
by the track to hide the crime.
This caused the Coroner's jury to
prolong the investigation for several
days. A verdict that Steele was killed
by train was finally returned be-
cause of inability to find any evil
dence pointing to anyone as his slayer.
One Grand Jury investigated the
death, but took no action. The affair
was then forgotten until the present
Grand Jury, hesieged by rumors that
Steele was murdered, reopened the in
vestigation and got enough evidence
to warrant the Indictment of Fisher.
Chief Beavers Thursday received a
telegram from the chief of police at
Dalton, Ga, asking him to hold Fish
er to answer a grand jury indictment
there for the murder of his brother
law.
Fisher did not appear downcast
when he was informed of this indict-
ment. He protested his innocence,
and declared the indictment is a plot
to imprison him because he accused
j. c. Shirley.
The detectives are the cause of
it," he declared. They have com
bined against me, and the indictment
is nothing but frame-up. Bud Steel,
my brother -in-law, was killed about
four years ago. Seven or eight men
were under suspicion when the Cor
oner held his inquest. | was relieved
of all suspicion at the inquest be-
cause | proved by seven. or eight
people that | had sat up all night
with the sick wife of a friend, Cliff
Barden. and they swore l had never
been out of the house. Steel and
were on the best of terms when he
was killed, and had not had a quar-
rel like the detectives say we had
