IN THE COURTS.

Edley 8. and Wint Dunn, Wiley Field and Hassey Griffin were brought back from Tuskaloosa yesterday morning by Deputy Marshal Perkins, as the AaE- HERALD stated would be done.
 They had been taken 10 Tuskaloosa by a United States deputy marshal on an order granted by Judge Bruce, which allowed them to be kept there until the trial of Hammer, against whom they were to ap- pear as witnesses, should come up. The eheriff did not have them in charge, and was in no way responsible for their deten- tion in Tuskaloosa.
 Edley s. Dunn, Wint Dunn, Wiley Field and Massey Griffin, the four men spiracy to obtain and pass counterfeit money and also with conspiracy to lnflm- idate United States witnesses.
 They were tried in United States Com- missioner Burney's court yesterday on both of these charges. h the first case, that of conspiracy to obtain and pass coun- terfeit money, the evidence was very weak and failed to prove anything against the accused men. In the other case, charging conspiracy to intimidate M. D. Hammer, Lon Hammer and Jack Cooper, Edley 5. Dunn and Massey Gritfin were discharged and Whit Dunn and Wiley Field were each held in a $500 bond, which they readily gave.
 The evidence adduced at the the trial tended to show that Wint Dunn and Wiley Field were members of mob which went to the Hammer home for the purpose Of running old man Hammer out of the coun- try, but they were unarmed and had put little to do with the conduct of the mob.
 John Powell was acquitted of the charge of selling liquor by United States Commls' sioner Burney yesterday.
