WILL EXHUME BODY
 ID GET EVIDENCE Henry Grayson's Remains to be Examined by Physicians THIS MOVE WAS A SURPRISE Sol Grayson and Ills Wife Are Charged With the Murder-Mrs. Grayson
 Suffers From Imprison-
 ment.
THIS MOVE WAS A SURPRISE

Athens, June 6.-(Special )-The prelimi- nary trial of MT. Sol Grayson and his wife Violet charged with the murder of Henry Grayson, which was set for today before Justice Christensen, was continued on the advice of the state and an order taken to exhume the body of the de- ceased, which has been buried for a week, and have 1t officially examined by expert physicians. The state charges that the skull of the deceased was broken, and this. in addition to the gunshot wounds, Is what produced death. The statement came, Il appears, as a complete surprise to the defendants, but they did not resist the application. The county health officer, pr. N D. Richardson. was given the necessary papers and ordered, in company with the sheriff of the county, to go to Madison county, take up the body and make an examination of the same. He was also ordered to take from the dead body as many or a part of the bullets that aided in producing death. The case was continued over until Friday, June 13.
 The brothers of the dead man have em- ployed the ablest counsel to be had in the prosecution of the case and they are go- ing to fight 1t to the bitter end. They are outspoken in the statement that their brother was murdered.
 Mrs. Grayson Is not bearing her prison life well. She Is growing pale ard nerv- ous under the severe strain through which she is passing. Her foster father, who reared her, and who is one of the most prominent and wealthiest men of Madison county, Is assisting her.
 The county registrars have finished their work and they gave life certificates to 2306 vote CTS. Of this number only ten were colored. This is a good record made. Limestone feels that she has done well.
 The primary election which is to come off on June IA Is creating a large amount of interest. The candidates are in the sad- dle and hustling. The fight Is growing very warm as to the question of a dispen- sary or no dispensary, and 1t appears from the surface that the advocates of no dispensary are very largely in the ma jority. The friends of Captain Bibb, who is representing the issue of no dispensary, seems to be largely the favorite.
 The Rev. R. A. Thompson. for two years pastor of the Athens circuit, has been appointed financial agent of the Athens Female College and his place r. IS been filled by the appointment by the bishop of the Rev. l.. F. Parrish a re- cent graduate of the Conference Col lege.

LOVEJOY CASE ...
 BEFORE COURT
PROBATE JUDGE OF ETOWAH IS CHARGED WITH WlLLFUL NEG. LEcT OF DUTY AND coRRUP- TIoN-HARD FIGHT.

MontRomery. June 8-(Special.)-The proceedings of impeachment of J. H. Lovejoy, probate judge of Etowah coun- ty, came up in the Supreme Court today. The charges are brought under the stat ute authorizing five taxpayers to main tain such a proceeding and the charges are neglect of duty and wilful corruption in office,
 The prosecution was represented by MT. Motley and MT. Amos Goodhue, and Judge Lovejoy by MT. O. R. Hood and to strike the information from the file. and both the attorneys for the defense made the argument that no machinery had been provided In the new constitu- ton for maintaining such an action; that the section is new and the machinery under the old constitution Is not saved by the schedule of the new. Demurrers were also made to some of the specifications If was contended that such neglect or duty as failing to inspect the jail every week. or to keep the census records and the like. were not substantial matters contemplated by the law as sufficient to remove a man from office.
 The prosecution maintained that the neglect of duty in these small matters was expressly charged as being wilful; that no other remedy Is provided by law to reach an officer who neglects them. and the law could not have intended to leave the public without recourse. It also contended that the new constitution and the old nre exactly alike In relation to the offense charged here, and that the existing laws for impeaching a probate fudge are provided and continued in the schedule.
 The court stated that 1t would announce it's decision on the motion and the de- murrers at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing. Judge Lovetoy Is here in person.

 HAVE THEIR TROUBLES

nal Court on this charge and acquitted. He then in his turn had Schafer arrested on a charge of perjury in falsely making an affidavit charging him with larceny as aforesaid. The plaintiff states that so far as he knows there has never been a decision on this charge against Schafer. Besides swearing out this warrant the plaintiff, on January 24, filed suit against Schafer for 5000 damages for wrongfully and maliciously causing his arrest on a charge of larceny, which suit is still pending.
 The bill then goes on to allege that Schafer, in February, 1902, made an ai- legged conveyance of the tract of land to a negro woman named Mariann Fulks, but that said deed was collusion and made because he was afraid of losing his homestead on account of the suit filed against him by plaintiff. The defendant after this left the state.
 The other defendants to the bill are CT realtors who have sued out attachments against Schafer and had them levied on the land The plaintiff seeks to have his Judgment of s2O0 enforced against said land and wants the court to declare the conveyance from Schafer to the negro woman null and void.
