AN UNUSUAL PROCEEDING A Case Not Docketed Against
 Warnock. THE SPECTATORS BUNC0ED Pol:ce Court Was Adjourned Without the Much Expected Eyent-Some Say an Official
 Investigation VIII Result
HE SPECTATORS BUNCOED

A bond for assault and battery on Chief Mcdonald was made out Saturday night and regularly signed by MT. War mock. When this was done MT. War mock was released from custody with the injunction. in the bend, to appear in court Monday morning for trial.
 Yesterday Mr. Warnock appeared for trial. With dim was A. o. Lane. prominent member of the police commis- sion. MT. Lane was there in the capacity of attorney for MT. Warnock. Chief Me- Donald was also present in court, but no charge was made against Warnock.
 Chief Mcdonald was seen after court adjourned and said he had notified MT. Warnock that no case had been dockelted against hfm.
 Notwithstanding this MT. Warnock was there with his attorney, Police Com- missioner Lane.
 The difficulty between the two officers has been the talk of the town. Seen in the light of gentleman who expres...d himself yesterday the affair between the two officers presents an ugly aspect. The charge has been made frequently by Chief Mcdonald that other attaches of the sheriff's office, besides MT. Warnock, were frequent visitors to gambling dens.
 Whether MT. Warnock was in such places in search of eV4denpe aga. .ns't the police department, he will not say. Mr. McDonald's idea in circulating such re- ports as he admits is not known unless he had sufficient foundation on which to base his statements.
 The affair narrows down to grave rupture between two public officers, which. in the minds of many, demands an official investigation.
 Several gentlemen expressed the opln- ion that the police commission would make an investigation.
 dnithe course of a conversation Sat urday night in The Age-Herald office. which in the hurry of writing the story of the trouble between the two men, was omitted from the account printed in The Age-Helald Sunday. Chief McDonaid said:
 "When told MT. Warnock that saw him coming out of buildings wherein gambling is carried on, I also said cd- izen had informed me that he saw MT. Warnock in a gambling room for three hours on that same evening.
 Mcdonald Writes Card
 Chief of Poiice AfcDonald yesterday sent the sAge-Herald the following card, with his signature attached:
 'It was SLauSlQ I'll lflS dIllcfe III yNSlci- days Age4Herald. about the difficulty Saturcay night between Robert War neck and myself, that MT. Warnock was visiting the gambling places of the city of Birmingham to get up data against the police department for standing in with said gambling places, which gam bling places, it has been intimated. the police department has been standing in with for some time. I am perfectly will ing for the citizens of Birmingham and the community at large to decide whether MT Warnock and the sheriff's office or the police department is stard- ing in with the gambling places of this city. If I were allowed by the controll- CTS thereof to visit these places, as the Age-Hera1d says MT. Warnock does, to get up data, might succeed in getting up data also"
 The Age-Hefah did not state that MT. Warnock was in gambling places to s. cure evidence against Mcdonald. A re- porter heard that such was the case and credited 1t in the light of a rumor.
