Brady was very anxious to get the ami

Dcpuy to make the bargain. He swore
to the bill of sale.
Defendant Saws II Is Fraud.
Brady was the first witness in his
own behalf; he stated that he would
not take the mare as a gift, and that
the order he signed was done while he
was considerably under the influence
of liquor in Peter knapp'S saloon in
Dunmore. Depuy placed a paper be-
fore him ami ordered him to sign it.
Brady did. When be found out that it
was for an order of $3.50 he demanded
to know the reason of it and claims he
was told by Depuy that it would bene-
fit him OepuyD greatly if Brady signed
the order and allowed him to use it.

 JUDGE F. {. RANDOLPH Of the Probate Court of Mont
 gomery County Missing. HIS MYSTERIOUS ABSENCE Alleged to Be Due to Shortages in His Accounts-BookS
 Being Examined.
HIS MYSTERIOUS ABSENCE

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 29.-For some days there has been considerable gos- sip regarding affairs in the office of Pro- bate Court Judge F. 0. Rudolph. This grew into great volume today when it be- came generally known that he had been absent for two weeks and that he drew on the day he left all the money to his credit, a considerable sum, in two banks. In one bank be drew out for the announced pur- pose of making settlements with the state for collection of license money.
 Inquiry today made it plain that he did not pay over the sum. For some months shortages have been alleged, but on the 18th of January he paid over all that then stood against him. It is the general sur mise that he collected on the current quar- ter and settled what he was charged with to the end of last year.
 When the grand jury met some weeks ago committee called on the governor to have an official examination made of his accounts by the state examiner. The re- quest was complied with and the state ex- aminer has been diligently at work and the absence of the judge during this time has been widely commented on.
 The grand jury adjourned over until April g., in order to give time for the exam ination, and until the report is made it will be impossible to tell what amount Is due the state and county.
 Judge Randolph left here on the night of the 18th and was seen in New Orleans ou the morning of the 18th. It is believed that he has gone to Honduras or some Gen. fral afata
