 In All Courts.

The non-capitsl felony docket was taken up in the criminal court yesterday and sev- eral cases disposed of.
 The case of Harry Stewart alias Nat Crump alias Harry Wood, and a number of other aliases was taken up and will be tried this morning.
 Stewart is charged with obtaining $40 by false pretenses from Robert Jamison, a Kansas man who appears against him.
 The alleged transaction took place on February 13 last at the Union station, Jamson who was on an Alabama Great Southern train ready to leave the city, claims that Stewart approached him and asked him to exchange some large bills for small ones. He offered to accommodate him to the extent of $40, and in return Stewart handed him an envelope, thought to contain $40 in small bills.
 About this time the train pulled out of the depot and after going a short distance Jamfsbn discovered that he had been du2ed The envelope which was handed him in ex- change instead of containing $40 in bills contained nothing but nice tissue paper. He left the train at Avondale and came back to the city on an electric car. He went to the depot and discovered Stewart talking to a passenger on another train and accused him of having duped him. Stew art denied that he was the man, but broke away and ran and was captured after an exciting chase.
 When searched about $1G0 ln bills of var ious denominations was found on his per- son and other evidence tending to show that he was a confidence man.
 The defendant appears very nervous in court. He is represented by B. NJ. Allen.

 Second Division
 An interesting question will come up be- fore Judge Senn in the second division this morning in the case of J. H. Roll vs. W. D. Colby. The plaintiff has filed a motion ask ing that the defendant be punished by fine or imprisonment for alleged disobedience of an injunction issued against him in Sep tember, 1898, in which he was restrained from using complainants name on crcu- lars.
