Preliminary Trial of the Justice of the Peace Who Killed Methodist Minister Comes
 to an End.

Birmingham, Dec. 1s.-(Special)-Th pr eliminary trial of R. D. Coffman, the Justice of the Peace who shot and killed Rev. J. W. Bradford, the Methodist nhn- ister. at Brookside, on the Sth inst, came to an end today. Justice Benners isten- ed attentively to the arguments which were offered by the attorneys. But four of the lawyers spoke. John Shugart open ing for the defendant. followed by Judge B. M Allen for the prosecution, Capt. Frank s. White closing for the defend- ant. State Solicitor H. P. Hefiln closed for the State. The evidence as produced was dwelt upon strongly by the lawyers on both sides. The prosecuting attorneys asked that the defendant be held with out the privilege. of giving bail and the fact that the minister was killed in his own home was a strong point in the ar- gument. The defendants attorneys ar- gued that Coffman was sent for by the minister and then assaiied. After the arr guments were completed, Justice Benners said: ''I bind the defendant over without bail to await the action of the grand jury" There was loud applause on the part of the many spectators who were in the court room at the time of the con- clusion of the case. After the decision was rendered a brief consultation was held by the attorneys for the defendant. and 1t was announced that steps would be taken looking to habeas corpus proceed ings. The object of this is to secure bail for the defendant Coffman was escorted back to jail, where he will remain until the grand jury meets or a habeas corpus trial before a judge results in bond being allowed. There is much sentiment against Coffman throughout the county.

Annointment off Vaughan.

The reappointment of William Vaughan, chairman of the Republican State Execu- tive Committee, as United States Dis trict Attorney for the Northern part Of Alabama, appears to give general satis- faction to the people of Birmingham. Much favorable comment was made here when it was announced from Washington that President Roosevelt had decided on reap9ointing MT. Vaughan.
 Capt R. F. Kolb has returned from Washington and int an interview today he stated that many of the political sto- ries told about him and his visit to see President Roosevelt were absolutely false. He said that he was accorded hearty welcome by the President, and that he explained the situation in this State as far as the Republican party goes, not as a member but as an on-looker. He rec commended in strong terms Chairman William Vaughan for District Attorney. and Dr. J. W. Hughes for the postoffice in Birmingham. He denied that the visit to Washington had any significance in 1t as to his joining any other party than the one he has been a member of.

 MT. Boykin got his shot gun and pulled down on the negro, shooting him in the right hand. tearing 't up pretty badly. The negro turned his mule to run and Mir.
