PHI AGAIN
CASE FIGURE, IS
PUT ON TRIAL
Man Who Created Sensation by
Fake Accusation Is Charged
With Dalton Staying.

DALTON, GA, Jan. Sra Fisher
whose sensation in the Frank case
fell fiat and who was indicted here
for the murder of Dug Steele, is on
trial in Superior Court. Some time
was taken in securing jury, many
disqualifying because of their oppo
sition to capital punishment
The State got through with its wit
nesses in short order, the defense in
Producing no testimony other than the
statement of the defendant, who de-
MED any knowledge of Steele's death
Attorney Mark Eubanks, of Rome, re-
tanned by the defense, made the
opening argument, after which j. j..
Copeland and A. L. Henson, two young
attorneys who were admitted to the
har at the present session of court
opened the prosecution. Solicitor
General S. P. Maddox made the clos
ing argument for the State, and Colo
mel Eubanks closed the argument for
the defense.
Evidence introduced by the State
was altogether circumstantial. A
number of witnesses swore to having
heard Fisher threaten the life of
steele That the two were together
on the night Steele met death was
brought out by testimony. Fishers
extreme nervous condition on the
morning Steele's body was found and
his coat, showing unmistakable signs
Of recent washing, were brought out.
The absence of any considerable
amount of blood near where Steele's
body was found was also brought out.
Fishers alibi that he had sat up
with sick woman in the Bearden
home was refuted by testimony OF
one of the States witnesses, who
swore to having spent the night in
the home and that Fisher wasn't
among the number that sat UP with
The sick person.
The death of Dug Steele occurred
here in November, 1908. His body
was found near a railway crossing,
the head being severed. The Coro-
rer's Jury returned a verdict of death
from being run over by a train.
Fisher was indicted by the October
Grand Jury, shortly after the time he
sprang into the limelight in the Pha-
gan murder case in Atlanta. Steele
the man slain, was his brother-in-
law

Financier Seeks Congressional
Probe Into His Conviction for
Bank Law Violations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Charging
that he was "railroaded' TO prison by
drunken jurors, Charles w. Morse,
former ice king" and New York mill
lionaire banker who served a term in
the Federal Penitentiary of Atlanta
for violation of the national banking
laws, is trying to launch an investiga-
ton by a Congressional committee
into the circumstances leading up 10
his conviction six years ago.
Although Morse has made no an
nouncement of his plans, it is under
stood also that he will institute suits
for damages against prominent New
York bankers and others who were
connected with his conviction. He is
said to have been making prepare
tons for these suits and for the Con-
gressional investigation since his re-
turn from Europe several months ago,
where he took n cure" after being
released from prison.
COMPTROLLER INVOLVED.
Morse was in Washington Tuesday
and held conference with Senator
Borah, of Idaho. and although the lat
ter refused to press the matter at this
time. it is understood that Morse left
Washington determined to return ana
take the matter up with other men,
bers of the Senate and House.
Morse's charges of being railroad
ed" also involve the office of the
Comptroller of the Currency in Wash
iugton, it is understood.
Morse asserts that the Comptroller.
at his trial refused to allow the jury
to see the report of the national bank
examiner who investigated the bank,
the Bank of North America, and indi-
Gates that this report would have
established clearly his innocence of
the principal charge against him, of
making false entries in the books of
the bank.
CHARGES DISCRIMINATION.
Morse asserts that he was discrimi-
mated against by the Comptroller be-
cause the showing of the books would
have brought to light, the fact that
other New York bankers We're doing
the same thing. and would have ne
cessitated other prosecutions.
Morse was first convicted in the
Federal Courts in 1908, on three
counts, and sentenced to five years on
each count. Two of the three convic-
tons were later set aside, but the
sentence of fifteen years was allowed
to stand. His sentence was COM
muted by President Taft two years
ago. after army surgeons who exam
