Special to Fiery Cross) HAMMOND, La., Oct. 8. Marie Armstead, -who was followed to

Chicago by Joseph Graziano, has sued the latter for $25,000 following

ner release by the courts In Chicago. The girl testified in Chicago that Graziano attacked her when she was

17 years of age and had since held her In virtual slavery. She had run

away from her master several times, she said, and that once he had shot

her. Graziona said he had shot her "two or three times." It was stated

here that the Ku Klux Klan was in

strumental in' creating a sentiment

that finally resulted in the girl be

ing liberated. It is said here that

the situation had long been known

The Klan was mentioned in the

hearing held at Chicago.

The following press dispatch was received here-under a Chicago date

line last week:

Judge David today granted a writ

of habeas corpus in behalf of Marie Armstead, fugitive 20-yoar-old girl from Hammond, La., and ordered her

freed. At the same time, the court

caused her three pursuers from

Hammond, Joe Graziano, attorney

Robert McGhee, and a deputy sheriff,

escorted to a train by two sheriff's

deputies for their return to Louisi

ana. Sinister Purpose Seen

"The charges brought against this

girl by this man are groundless

said the court. "I see a sinister

purpose to take this girl back to

Louisiana."

Judge David then ordered assistant state attorneys present to inform Governor Parker of Louisiana of the way he had been deceived by certain citizens of Hammond, and that Governor Small of Illinois be informed of the facts to block any further attempts to extradite Marie Armstead of Hammond. -As Graziano was leaving the court room, he was served with a WTit apprising him of the filing of a civil suit for $25,000 damages in circuit court by the Armstead girl. She

charges him with seduction, false arrest and inflicting personal injuries.

I?o Attempt at Violence

However, no attempt at violence

Legal Battle Set Up What first appeared to be a common-place effort to apprehend a servant charged with larceny from hr e.mjrinvrjp turned into a legal battle setup by some invisible power. Marie Armstead faced her "master," Joe Graziano, in Judge David's court. But the girl wasn't the shrink

ing, fearful, unwilling witness. Rather it was Graziano, who first set

himself up as the aggrieved complainant, who was apologetic, back

ward, hesitant. When the hearing began, having been continued from yesterday, Judge David inquired of Robert McGhee, a lawyer who came

up from Louisiana with Joe Grazi

ano and a deputy sheriff, how he

came to be present in court.

Governor Parker Mentioned

"Your honor," said the Southerner, "I was asked by the Governor of

Louisiana to be here to press the prosecution of this girl. I represent

the state." He immediately followed this statement with the astounding information that he was brought along by Graziano and that Graziano is paying his expanses. Graziano was put on the stand and sworn. He testified that the girl came to him three and a half years ago as a servant. He denied improper relations with her. Under cross-examination, however, Graziano hesitatingly admitted that he

shot the girl two or three times." "I thought she was a burglar one

night," he said casually. Graziano, under cross-examination by Assistant State's Attorneys Milton Smith and Michel Romano, admitted that the ring he at first said the girl stole, and was worth $1,000

was worth only about $250. Graziano

became nervous as the cross-examination proceeded, and said that he went to Baton Rouge, after Marie had fled from Hammond and "saw some people about papers" to bring her back. Received a Telegram 1 "While I was there I got a telegram from the best people in Hammond saying that I would have to track her and bring her back to Lout&lana and send her to the pen." Attorney McOhee volunteered Information about the Klan In his home town down in Louisiana but no attention waa paid to it. The hearing on Marie's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, which would free her and prevent the pursuers from Louisiana taking her

back, continued. Shot on Trying to Escape

Court room spectators, however,

were of the opinion that Judge David would free the girl. The girl swore that Graziano at

tacked her when she was 17 years old, and had since held her in a state of virtual slavery in. his home In Hammond. She said she had run away from her master several times, but that he always caught her and brought her back. Once, sheaid, he shot her when She ran away from him. She declared that "outside parties" had figured in her last attempt "to get away from the slavery to which I was subjected.
