The HAYES Murder Case.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 23.-The
celebrated Halves case was called in
the criminal court this morning.
Halves entered the court room at 8
O'Clock looking the picture of health,
and dressed in the elegant black
Prince Albert suit in which he was
married to Miss May Story of Column
bus, Miss, six hours before he was
arrested for the murder of his first
wife and two children. The entire
forenoon was occupied in the organize
ton of the jurieS for the week and in
calling the witnesses IN the Halves
case. There are fifty-five witnesses
for the state and Sixty-siX for the de-
Tense. The defendants attorneys made
another motion for change of venue,
and the entire afternoon was consumed
in the argument of this motion. The
judge will decide the motion tomorrow,
and as the showing made is about the
same as on a former motion, it is
thought this one will also be over
ruled. IT this motion is overruled the
work of selecting jury will begin at
once. The trial of the case will prob
ably last two weeks, or even longer.
During the proceedings to-day the
court room was crowded almost to
suffocation, showing that public in
terest in this noted case in undated.
John and julie Wyley Of Atlanta,
who are held as accOmpliceS in the
Halves murder, were arraigned this
morning, and pleaded not guilty. The

About 70 Be Clsared Up.

LITTLE Rock. April 23.-The steal
ing of the Plummerville, Conway coun-
ty, ballot box last November. is about
to be cleared up. Warran Taylor, a
young man OF Morriltown, has been ar
rested on charge of interfering with
the election affairs at Pfummerville.
Taylor got scared and has turned
states evidence, having told before a
federal grand jury that he was a men,
Der of party of twenty-five men
who went down from Morrilton
on the memorable night because
trouble was expected at Plummerville
and that just outside of the latter
place the crowd halted and five men
rode on into town and returned a little
while afterwards saying all was quiet.
The crowd started back and when
nearly home the discovery was made
that the five men had the Plummer-
vile ballot box. After arriving
at Morrillton the five men went
in the back of Wells store
and burnt the box and ballots. The
others of the party did not know what
they were going for and nothing of the
theft, until nearly back to MorriiltOn.
Taylor gave the names of the men in
the party and the three who went into
town and took the box. A portion of
his statement was corroborated by G.
G. Reid, a young lawyer of Morrillton,
who had gone down just ahead of the
party. The grand jury is still at
work on the case, but up to a late hour
tonight at which time they are still in
session no indictments have been re-
turned.

ALBUQUERQUE, N, NJ, April pa
trackwalker named Frank Chase was
found murdered at Chaves station, on
the Atlantic and Pacific, March IS,
and. his murderer, Lorenzo Lopez,
was captured. The reinforcement of
a mans mind appears to be one of the
seQuels of the crime. The 'marderer
was captured by w. III. HuIvey and
Fred Rogers. He was turned over to
the proper authorities, who brought
him to this city, and as preliminary
trial was bound over to the next grand
jury and was eOnfined in the county
jail. Fred Rogers was called upon to
assist in burying the victem. A hole
was dug down three feet when solid
rock was found. This necessitated
the digging of another grave, which
was done few yards from the first.
The man was placed in q coffin and
laid out of sight. His friends left the
scene, and in doing so neglected to fill
up the first. Rogers was employed on
a ranch in the vicinity and had occasion
botH day and night. Que day he called
several of his associates to him. and
told Them that the track-Waiker had
never been buried; that he was not
dead, and that the whole thing was a
hoax. for he had passed an uncovered
grave supposed TO have been the place
where the track-walker was buried.
From that time until his studded de-
parture from the ranch he was con-
stantly chatting to himself about the
track-walker; the part he took IN the
capture and burial. and at times in his
worst moods would accuse the boys at
the ranch of endeavoring to poison
him. He had all kinds of decisions,
and when he left he was thoroughly
deranged man. He is now wandering
over the prairie along the road in q
crazed coDdition. His whereabouts
are unknown. He was one of the
principals in prize fight at Gallup,
this country, lost summer.

WICHITA, Kan, April 23.-Fire bugs
attempted to get in their work again
last night, this time their object being
apparently to destroy the Santa Fe
freight depot. To attract attention
from themselves small frame shanty
in the center of town was fired, and
while it was burning the Waterman at
the depot, coming suddenly round a
corner, saw couple of men rush from
the platform. Investigation showed
a pile of iuflammable material against
the depot door, and also that the door
had been saturated with coal oil. The
fire bugs also left a candle behind
them. The police have now been
instructed to fire upon any suspicious
characters seen boiling from build
ing during the night hours.
