I heard today, from an attorney who's been around here for a long time, that the "elder" Polk Shelton is actually the uncle of the "younger" Polk Shelton, so that explains why there isn't a Jr. or anything. I also happened to review a 1950 case on appeal that mentions a Polk Shelton as the attorney of record. So maybe the elder Polk Shelton was second-chairing the case; or was "local counsel," if this Cofer guy wasn't from round these parts (it's always handy to have someone that knows the local court system on your team).
