Judge of the astonishment Of the

not very much nearer the violet than
that of our sun. Still more remark
able is Rigel, for it shows two max

KLAN EDITOR HELD

Arrest Follows Staying of

Goes to Grand Jury.

By the Associa ted Press.
ATLANTA, November 6.--While
Solicitor John A. Boykin asked the
Fulton county grand jury today to in
dict Philip L. Fox, editor of the Night
Hawk, official organ of the ku Klux
klan, the prisoner refused to add any
thing to his statement that Capt. w. s..
Coburn had threatened to ruin him.
in explanation of why he shot and
killed the attorney late yesterday.
Investigators and city detectives
questioned the prisoner last night at
the police headquarters and at the jail,
where he was removed several hours
after the killing.
Mrs. Fox, wife of >the man who
killed the attorney of the Simmons
faction, was prostrated at the apart
ment on Wesley avenue just off
Peachtree road, according to a man
who answered the door bell and who
refused this morning to admit news
paper men.
Since he was arrested Fox has been
held incommunicado under heavy
guard and without bond on a charge
of murder.
Two Eyewitnesses.
There were two eyewitnesses to
the shooting, according to the police.
Mrs NJ A. Holbrook, Coburn's stenog
rapher, and Mrs. Oscar Weyman of
Cleveland, a client, were in the office
at the time. They said Fox fired
four shots and that Coburn toppled
from his chair. dead, as Fox threw
down his revolver after the last shot
and left the office. Both said that
haf he
opened fire. Mrs. Holbrook said that
Fox had visited the office a few
moments before, but, findinf1 Mr.. Co
burn busy, had left. He returned a
few minutes later and opened nre
Fox said that he was not connect
ed with the Klan when he was arrest
ed, but newspaper men identlfled him
as the publicity agent of the organi-
zation and the police produced a copy
of the Knight Hawk, which bore his
name as editor.
Declares Others Marked.
DR.. Fred B. Johnson of San An
tonic, Tex, issued a statement that
Fox had visited him at the home of
Emperor w. ]. Simmons the night be-
fore, and announced that he had been
sent there to kill him (Johnson).
According to DR.. Johnson's state
ment, Fox said also that Simmons,
L. Y. Clarke and Coburn were
marked to go.
Coburn won the military title of
captain by service in the National
Guard. He served on the Mexican
border during 1916 and 1917. When
Camp Wheeler was established ht
Atlanta he was stationed there for
more than a year and went overseas
in the early fall of 1918. He saw
action in the final drive of the war
and was wounded twice in action,
once being reported dead.
Upon his return from France he
engaged in the practice of law here
and entered actively into politics, and
became connected with the Ku Klux
Klan as attorney and later as or
ganizer. He was assigned in 1921
as grand dragon of the Pacific coast
region. While in California he fig
ured in the Inglewood raid trial. but
was acquitted.
His final act in Klan affairs was the
filing late yesterday for Emperor
Simmons of the petition for an in
junction to prevent the organization
of the women of the Ku Klux Klan
or similar organization, by Imperial
Wizard H. w. Evans.

The nickerbocker Theater Com
pany t<day won the first civil case
brougi1 against it for damages grow
ing o4t of the collapse of the roof
of they January IS, 1922. JUS
tice Sddons in Circuit Division / di-
rectea the jury to return a verdict
exontrating the company from re-
sponEsibility for the death of George
S. freeman, who was employed in the
orchestra of the theater, and who met
death in the disaster.
Suit had been brought on behalf
of the widow of Freeman by Oscar
WA Underwood, jr., as administrator
OF the dead musician on the theory
tlsat the company had failed in it's
dity toward its employees of furnish
ing a suitable and safe place in which
he was to work. Counsel for the
plaintiff showed that in 1917 me-
Ghanfc who was placing laths for the
ceiling of the theater noticed sag
,ging roof and that one of the sup
porting beams was out of plumb, and
'by another musician employed there
that he had called the attention of
the manager of the theater to the
vibrations of the roof when the two
were on the top of the building about
four months before the collapse.
AlloTneyS wilton J. Lam pert, X. ii.
Yeatman and E, T. Bell for the COM
pany, in asking for an instructed ver-
dict, pointed out that the plaintiff had
failed to show any specific act of neg
igence which was the proXimate
cause of the collapse of the roof, and
as the doctrine of the happening of
the accident importing negligence
does not apply between master and
servant such failure of proof was vital
to the case of the plaintiff.
Attorneys Archer, Chamberlin e
Smith noted an exception to the rul-
ing of the court and will. take the
case to the Court of Appeals.
In granting the motion the court
said he did so reluctantly, but his
judicial duty compelled him TO so act,
although he would much prefer to
have left the responsibility to a jury.
Under the state of the evidence the
court said the jury could only specu-
late as to the cause of the disaster
and a verdict SO returned could noS
have been upheld by the court.
