boys of the mill threw ball of cotton sat urated with oil and hit one of the negro women in the face. Monday night a negro man said to be Will Duncan, caught Wal ter Trammel, a young boy about 12 years old, and choked him, accusing him of hay ing thrown the ball at the negro woman. Hast night as the employees of the card room came out the gate Wheceer Tram mel, an older brother of the boy, hollowed, "Where is Will Duncan?"
 A negro stepped up and said: Here am, - you; if you want anything you can get it.'
 Trammel let out with a stick and struck the negro on the head. Then from out the darkness came bricks and rocks, and gen. eEal fight ensued. Trammel was hit in the face and had his lip cut. Two others of the whites were struck. The negro, Will Dun can, is laid up today.
 After the fracas the card room employees held a conference and decided not to go to work this morning. About 7:30 they were sent for and the mill authorities agreed, so it was stated to take the negroes out of the card room. But determination had been reached to stand out for the removal of all the negro men from the mill
 At the dinner hour little groups of the operatives could be seen around the mill and many mutterings of discontent were heard. Several of the leaders were seen by the Age-Heralds representative, and they say that unless the negro men are removed a general strike will go on tomorrow. They claim that the negro men are not wanted where there are so many white women around, and they must go or put all negro operatives in the mill.
 The management of the mill seem dis posed to grant concession, but how far they will go is not known. They state the mat ter will be amicably settled and all will re- turn to work in the morning.

The TalIadega MoOnShiner Who Turned
 States Evidence
AND LEFT VERY MYSTERI0USlY
Cowart Claims Party Interested in Defense Was Responsible For Departure-Will Present
 Plea for New Trial

dime novel story is not half so light ning-like in it's transformations as the case of the four Talladega moonshiners convict ed and sentenced in the federal court for the murder of w. A. Thompson.
 Attorney Lee Cowart, leading counsel for the defense, now declares that he has in his possession statement from Bob Fay Tor, who is one of the defendants and whose whereabouts are unknown, alleging that his evidence on the stand in behalf of the state was nothing more than tissue of lies
 It will be remembered tha Bob Taylor, one of the defendants, turned states evil dence in the preliminary trial of the case before United States Commissioner Wilson. Taylor told gruesome story of the crime, duplicating the other defendants in a con- spiracy to murder w. A. Thompson, who had given information to the revenue off, cers regarding illicit distilling in the moun- tains of Talladega county.
 The story of Taylor's flight during the trial and of the admission of his statement given before the commissioner Is also fa- milar to the public.
 Attorney Cowart now claims to have in his possession an affidavit made by Taylor 
 lied when he made his statement before the commissioner.
 Offered His Liberty
 According to MT. Cowarts statement, Taylor further swears that he was offered his liberty and part of the reward offered by the government for the conviction of Thompsons murderers if he would swear as he did, and that the proposition came from party interested in the prosecution. MT. Cowart says that the statement was attested before justice of the peace, but is not exactly in legal form, which he ex- poets to rectify. He intimates that he is going to have a personal interview with Taylor, and when he gets the statement in legal form will present 1t to Judge Bruce with a motion forra new trial. .u,u .ss--ass Taylor Weakened
 It is also stated that Taylor weakened during the trial, and said that if he was put on the stand he would not swear as he had done in the preliminary hearing, when he was urged to escape, the plans being arranged by the party interested
 MT. Cowart is jubiant over the turn af- fairs have taken, and says that he will yet prove the innocence of the four men who he claims were illegally convicted.
