CHARGED WITH ARSON.
Three People on Trial at Selma for AL
 legged House Burning.

Selma, November n.-(special.)- )-Before Justice Gayle today the trial of Lulu Grif fin, Lucy Murphy and Henry Griffin was begun. The three defendants are negroes. and are charged with burning the house of Tom Howser, who lives about three miles from Selma.

On account of bad feeling engen- dered, the suspicion naturally fell on Grif- fin when few days ago Howsers cabin was burned, while himself and family were out in the field. The two women, who live with Griffin, were seen coming from the direction of Howser's cabin a few minutes before the fire vas discovered
 Thirty-eight dollars in cash and three bales of cotton were destroyed with the house.
