Lawyer Is Indicted by Grand Jury in Connection With Bond Investigation.

Three deputy sheriffs searched the city in vain yesterday looking for C. C. Tedder, who was indicted Tuesday afternoon by the Grand Jury on a charge of forgery, growing out of an alleged bond transaction in which he is said to have helped secure a prisoner's release from jail on a forged bond. Tedder, who sprang into renown through his connection with the Leo M. Frank case, as a William J. Burns attach, is said to have gone to New York on work for the Burns Agency. Another report, however, says he has gone to New Orleans. The sheriff's office is investigating both rumors with the hope of tracing him for trial. Tedder is already under bond for appearance for trial in the Ragsdale perjury cases growing out of the Frank investigation.

Emmett Blount was jointly indicted with Tedder Tuesday by the Grand Jury, the indictment alleging that he forged the name of W. O. Fowler to a bond for the release of Otto Edwards. Fowler himself appeared before the Grand Jury and, it is said, denounced the bond as a forgery.
