A.S. Colyar again in toils of law. A.S. Colyar, lawyer, adventurer and prisoner in many different prisons, is "in again." This time, according to information from Chattanooga, he is being held in that city upon request from officials of Oklahoma City, in which place he is said to be wanted on a charge of obtaining money on false pretenses. Colyar is the familiar character in the Frank case who sprang such a sensation at the time Frank was indicted by his Dictagraph episode, in which a number of Atlanta's most prominent civic and legal figures were involved.
