FOR HE'LL BE TRIED TODAY
Special to The Age-Herald.

Bessemer, March 10.--S. H. King the fur niture man, is again in the meehes of the law. This time the rouge, the mysterious stage smile and the naughty wink of a soubrette have all conspired to make King err. The man who tells the virtues of pretty furniture and downy pillows is under arrest, chafng under two charges drunk and disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.
 If the Sharpley Dramatic company had never made it's debut perhaps King would have been a free man. It is certain that if this dramatic organization had not come to Bessemer, stranded and put it's trunks in hook, King would not be put on trial tomorrow morning but fate has peculiar whims. The Sharpley Dramatic company came to Bessemer, and whats more, 1t had as it's leading lady Miss Fay Carlisle, TO- bust little creature who was advertised as the "chafming soubrette." The company played a, week at Rebie hall. The villain drowned with bitter earnestness and the soubrette kicked and sang her songs, to empty chairs and melancholy silence When Saturday night came Manager Sharpley found that the cash box contained naught but dust and not gold dust at that.
 For dire necessity the soubreitte pawned her trunk of tights and short skirts, and the entire company put their stage truck in .'soak" for that which even a pretty sou- brette cannot exist without.
 Bessemer was the Nemesis of the Sharp ley Dramatic company.
 King Falls Victim
 Yesterday afternoon Miss Carlisle was in the Vienna restaurant. King came in.

It is alleged that King was so ardent that he spoke to Miss Car 1sle and finally made an insulting pro- posal. She is said to have relinquished the sweet smile that tempted even king and put on an indignant air. At least it is given out that today she will appear in court, and in tears, perhaps tell ''hiZzon- CT" how King is such horrid fellow.
 Miss Gordon is also a member of the ill-fated Sharpley organization. After the Vienna restaurant episode she and Miss Carlisle were walking along the street. King accosted the nair-ond the climax of the act was not bad o'-S to the eye of the onlooker when Manager Sharpley strode upon the boards, followed by strapping policeman, who in triumph stalSed away with King under his protecting wing.
 The two actresses and the manager stood and gazed, as though they were watching the exit of the villain in the last act of drama. But there was another act King didn't want to go with Officer Wilson, and in the melee that followed King got an eye that doesn't look so we'll
 Didn't Wait It Printed
 When an Agc<fIerald reporter called on King he was in a very bad bad humor. About all he would say was that he did not want anything said in print about the natter His trial will come up in the May or's court this morning
 Some weeks ago King was arrested on a charge of rape, preferred by Miss Viola Pair, but was discharged.
