FIELDER WILL Pull MISSIONARIES ARE
THROUGH CUTTING FEATURE Of MEETS

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. Present in
dications are that Thomas B. Fielder
will recover from the knifs wound OF
q. K. Vason, doorkeeper of the house
of representatives, who attacked the
we'll known attorney in the Kimball
House Thursday night.
Friends of Fielder have made an un-
successful effort to have Vason more
closely confined at police station, but
have been informed by the police au-
tkorities that prisoner who pays for
a special officer to guard him is al
ways allowed certain liberties. 1t is
stated that ason lounges around po-
lice headquarters like a visitor, and
gees across the street to soda foun-
tain whenever he wants drink.
1t is learned on reliable authority
that a strong effort will be made at
the trial of vason to show that his at
tack on Fielder was deliberate and
premeditated
In this connection several members
of the legislature who attended the
caucus on the Savannah recall bill,
which caucus was held short while
before Vasop stabbed Fielder will be
summoned to testify that they saw
Vason come to the door OF the room
where the caucus was being held, and
stand at the door with his eye on
Fielder They will also be asked to tes-
tify that they saw Vason and his mys-
ferrous companion stand close to Fell
der and watch him when Fielder step
ped outside of the room into the hall
way for a few moments.
1t has been currently rumored that
the man with Vason when he made the
attack on Fielder was member of the
house of representatives. Several men
who attended the above mentioned
caucus, and who rushed into the Har-
lis headquarters when the stabbing
took place, privately express the opin-
'on that yason's companion was
member of the house, but they are not
to state POSITIVELY.
