gram would have reached him in an hour and
half
Riddle stated that Colby, clerk of the inves-
affldavits of Benton and Hayes in his posses.
sion had not beeu found. Davidge said Som
mervlle drew up the affidavits and asked the
court to summon him as witness. The Judge
decided not to grant the request as the defense
bad the privilege Of summoning him if they de-
sired.
Alter submitting testimony unimportant in
character, Riddle presented documentary evil
dence to show that Whitley had engaged the
man Williams or Bliss alias Geo. E. Miles to
commit the burglary; that Miles was convicted
of arson and burglary and sentenced to Au-
burn prison for ten years, and that he was par
doned out at the solicitation of Whitley, and

The Court of commissioners of the Alabama
claims resumed its session to-day. A large

parts of the country. The calendar was CALL
ed up, but no cases were ready for hearing.
| Opinions were expressed by the counsel that
| they could not for some time prepare petitions
| in behalf of their clients, and when they did so
| the petitions would have to be printed before
presentation to the court. The law requires
| the petitions to be filed by the ed of January
| next
The court said that it was DESTROYS of pro-

and therefore hoped the counsel would use due
diligence in promptly preparing their respect
i've petitions, and afterwards present the re-
| quired testimony.

INJURED to petition presented by Mr.. Bearman

loss were entitled to the protection Of the

Mr.. Bearman considered such a statement

loss lived in the North, were loyal to the Union
and had always been known as citizens of the

/ Mr.. Cresswell said that although it might
| not be very important to insert the statement
in the petition, the law required it should be
done. The court reserved its decision.
