JUDGE ROBINSON'S CASE
WAS ARGUED ON DEMURRERS YESTERDA
A Crowd Attracted to the Supreme Court Room-Technicalities are Numerous.
 Possible Outcome

Montgomery, May 29.-(Special) 1.-The impeachment case of the state upon the relation of William c. Fitts, attorney general, vs. William C.. Robinson, as probate judge of Lee county, was ar gued today upon demurrers to the in- formation as prepared and filed by the attorney general.
 The knowledge that the case would come up this morning attracted many spectators to the supreme court room, and when the case was called the interest was noticeable.
 The argument in behalf of the de- murrers was made by Judge Chiffon, and replies were made by the attorney general and Ex-Gov. Thomas G. Jones. Judge Chiffon presented his demurrers ably and at length, but the remarks of Mir. Fitts and Governor Jones were very short and to the point, stating that they did not care to take up much time at this stage of the proceedings.
 The demurrers are numerous and high ly technical, even attempting to assail the constitutionality of the impeachment statutes. The general impression is that if any of the demurrers are sustained it will only be upon isolated points. It Is possible that Judge Robinson will have to meet the charges of habitual drunkenness and willful neglect of duty substantially as they now stand

Looking down a steep Ireci- plce, they saw the rock imbedded in the vale below, with only small portion of 1t showing. With such grea. force did it fall that it displaced almost enough of the earth to hide itself Mir Wideman says that large numoer of people have gone to the spot, and will verify what he stated.
