Special Dispatch TO The Appeal.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 22.-Dick
Halves, the engineer who is charged with
the murder OF his wife and two little
daughters, last December, is on trial in
the Criminal Court of this county. The
crime with which he is charged was the
blacklist in the annals OF this State, and
intense interest is manifested in the trial.
On the second Of December Mary Halves
was found drowned In East Lake near this
city. On that day HAYES married Miss
Story, Of Aberdeen, Miss His former
wife and other daughter had disappeared
and could not be traced. lie was arrested
while passing through here on his
bridal tour and put in Jail. His new
wife said he represented TO her that
he had no wife and only one child,
boy. Halves denied any knowledge Of
the murder OF his child, May, and did not
know, he claimed, where her mother and
sister were. Public Indignation was all
the time rising against Halves, and threets
were made against his life. On the 9Th,
the body OF Mrs. Halves was dragged from
the bottom Of Lake View. II was on
Saturday, and thousands Of laborers in the
city were drinking. When the decomposed
body Of Mrs. Halves was pulled through
on the bank, and when the thousands saw
the sad spectacle, Indignation reached Its
nights, and mob formed and at mid
night attacked the Jail with view to
securing the body OF the alleged murderer.
Tho Sheriirs posse resisted, and twelve
good citizens. most OF whom were trying
TO keep the mob back, were shot aud
killed. Just one week afterward the body
OF Irene lIawes was found in the lake, q
few yards from the place where her
mothers remains had been found. HAYES
is accused Of killing them all In order to
be enabled 10 marry the young woman
whom he made his second wife.
When the defendant was brought into
court this morning he was dressed in a neat
black suit, and looked the polished gentle-
man.in every respect. lie calmly took his
seat, and although every available nick OF
space in the courtroom was occupied and
every eye was ON him, he showed no signs
Of excitement. The morning was spent in
impanelling a jury. Messrs. Taliaierro,
! Smithson, Mcintosh and Altman, all OF
! this State, represent the defense, and
Solicitor Hawkins and Judge Donson the
State.
In tho afternoon two petitions for n
, change OF venue were heard. One was
based on the Age LerdlFs "Silent Eye"
publication, and the other ON the April
fool published in that paper saying that
Halves had escaped. The defendants
claim that these publications preiudiced
the public against him, After long argu-
mcnts on both sides. Judge Green took
the matter under consideration until to-
morrow morning. II is probable that the
petitions will be disallowed and tho case
will proceed here.

OF what blcs fair to become one of the
best mines in the Ceur d'Alene country,
the Helena Journal tells the following
story: Five short weeks ago John Nj.
Smith, the mute owner of the mine did
not have q dollar nor place to lay his
head, but some one would occasionally
give him a square meal for no one was
ever known to go hungry in mining
camp. The lucky glow of fortune that
now smiles upon this poor deaf mute has
changed his appearance. The other day
he wrote on piece of paper, "No flies on
me nowr and started for the best strike
of the season with pick and shovel on
his back. Haskins, Pulse and Finley
have bonded the mine fer $4,000. Last
winter when scribe came to Mullen,
Smith, or the "dummy," as he was called,
was trying to get some one to give him a
grub stake. He did not intend to look
for silver or lead, thinking it required
too much time and labor to develope that
kind of a mine. He was after gold and
nothing e'se. The snow had hardly lett
the ground before he was out, glass in
hand, prospecting the side-hills below
the town for the yellow metal. Ere
quently he would come in with pieces Of
rock that contained pyrites ofiron, which
he would always claim was gold. In
April he built rude log hut on the bank
of g, Id creek, 100 yards up from the
south fork and about 100 yards further
up he commenced to dig for gold. He
did not find it in the shape he expected
hut he fOund what has DroVed to be the
finest prospect struck in the CGur 'Alene
this year. Old "Dame Fortune" casts hel
smiles on strange characters, and is about
as tickle in her movements as streak ol
lightning.
