History of Case
Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 21.-(By A. P.)-
Philip E. Fox, Ku KluX Khan editor
killed William S. Coburn, Khan at
torney, in the latter's office on Nov.
4. The slayer was arrested as he
fed from the Office. An indictment
charging murder was returned
against Fox a few days later and on
Dec. IL, he was placed on trial in
Fulton superior court.
Attorneys for Fox based their fight
on testimony that he was insane.
Three alienists stated Fox had a
paranoiac.
While the state offered no testi-
mony from alienists. it attacked the
conduct of the defendant. Solicitor
General John A. Boykin, contended
Coburn new of FoX's alleged rela-
tions with Mrs. Margaret Weaver,
who is under indictment as aces
soIx before the fact, and also had
other evidence of improper conduct
on the part of the defendant. Fear
ing exposure Fox killed Coburn, the
solicitor charged. Throughout the
trial Fox seemingly was unconcerned.
