The right of a way is nearly secured

Of Mobile now. and have settled with
some in the last few days. Negotiations
are pending and | hope in a few days
more to get the matter closed up. or

the matter to the court and commits

be used, however, as 1t Is always more
satisfactory to all parties concerned,
to adjust such matters without going
to law.
Now. Judge, what is the prospect
for building the road?

never expect to sec the work stopped

The razor was improved, but not for

The immense number OF names for

Timothy is the root OF all evil, is not,

however, remarkable how, in nearly

HABEAS CORPUS.

Manuel Dubois went to the County

twenty dollar pieces for the purpose of
paying the fines of Flores and Bar
biere, who were committed to Jail on
Wednesday by Judge Hinkson for con-
tempt of court in going on a straw

Judge Hinkson had given instructions
to the District Attorney to bring the

| 1t is stated that w. A Anderson, their
attorney, will apply for a writ Of habeas
corpus this morning, in order to secure
| their release on the ground that they
cid not swear to the contents of their

District Attorney Ryan has taken no
steps to file an information against
them as yet, and says he is at present

An attachment has been placed by
Charles Heisen on the saloon of Flores

but Manuel Dubois gave the required
bond and the attachment was released.
D. J. Simmons appeared in court yester-
day morning and asked Judge Hink-

not have to go Jail.
The Judge replied that he had to per-
| form painful duty in fning Simmons,
but the latter should consider himself
lucky to get off with $3.50. Simmons then

TRIAL OF ]. ]. CALLENDINE,
Alleged Rinsleader in the Electric Car
Office Robbery.
Fred Townsend, One Of the Raiders,
Concludes His Testimony
Knox and Hatch.

When the Callendine trial was re-
sumed yesterday morning the cross
examination of Fred Townsend was
continued.
Attorney Hart tried his best to tangle
| the witness up and succeeded to some
| extent, but did not shake his testimony
materially. He read portions of the tes-
| timony at the preliminary examina-
| ton to the witness, in which he stated
that Callendine did not tell him who the
| first man was that backed out of the
| Job He asked witness of he so testi-
fed, and witness said he did not re-
| member it, He had been anxious not
| to mention the name of Harry Knox,
and did not do so until he had to.
| Mr.. Hart was persistent, and finally
the witness said: "Well if I did testify
so I do not remember it. You shouted
so and walked around and waved your
hands at me, SO that I was rather con-
| fused"
A low laugh ran round the courtroom,
which the court promptly checked, and
Mr. Hart asked: "Now, do you not know
| that I sat still in my chair and ques-
| toned you?"
mo, do NOT said the witness.
Continuing, witness denied fatty that
he had ever spoken to Hatch before
the robbery, and asked him to go into
the robbery. They were not on good
terms and had had several fights. In
fact, when Callendine told him, after
the robbery, that Hatch was one of
those that had backed out, witness
wanted to get away and enlist in the
army, as he was afraid Hatch would
inform on them. Hatch had never
seemed to like him.
| When he met Callendine for the first
time after the robbery, it was on the
evening of the 26th Bassett was also
in the Office. Callendine was reading a
paper, and witness noticed that his
mustache was gone. Bassett said he
thought the three had done the rob-
| berry. Witness was so much confused
and colored UP so that he got up and
went out. He told the others when
they came out that he was afraid Bas-
sett suspected them.
| The cross-examination Of Townsend
was finished In the afternoon, and A

and one of the men who were held uI

| DcIy, leSLllleu utAl. ne Sdlu the dC-
tions, talk and walk Of the defendant
Tailed very closely with that of the
first man who came into the room that
night.
| He had seen Callendine at the City
Prison and heard him talk to his wife
and Officer Hardy, and felt certain that
he was the man. He gave an account
of what happened that night, and iden-
titled the overcoat as the one worn by
one Of the men. The first man that
came had a sort Of a short step in his
gait.
| Witness never saw a man with such
a peculiar walk. He was positive that
Callendine was the man. He would
have picked his walk out wherever he
saw it. There was the way he held his
shoulders, too.
c. M. Rosemond related the occur
renee on the night Of the robbery and
described the robbers. He had seen
Callendine since and observed his ac-
tions and conversation, and felt as
sCred that he was the same man that
had the rifle that night.
