DUNCAN'S CASE UP
 TO SUPREME COURT
WILL SET DAY WHEN HE MUST SURRENDER OR APPEAL WILL BE DISMissED-THIS IS HIS LAST CHANCE.

The appeal case of Frank Duncan is now before the Supreme Court. As Dun can has escaped from jail since suing out his bill of exceptions the attorney gem eral of the state, as is the practice in such cases. will probably ask that the appeal be dismissed as the defendant is fugitive from justice. When this mo- ton is made the court will set day prior to which time the fugitive must give himself up. This is usually thirty days. If the fugitive has not surrendered with in the time the appeal will be dismissed.
 It is not considered at all likely that Duncan will give himself up after enjoy ing his liberty for over two weeks. If he does not do so within the time limit set by the Supreme Court his appeal will be dis missed, and if he is captured after that his last hope of acquittal will be gone, and the present judgment conforming him to be hung will stand and he will fol- low in the steps of his pal Frank Miller

HOWARD COLLEGE AND
 CUMBERLAND TONIGHT
Two Games of Basketball May Decide the Southern intercollegiate
 Championship.

Howard College and Cumberland Uni- versity basket ball teams will play to- night and tomorrow night at the Bir- mingham Athletic Club, the game prob ably deciding the Southern inter-collegi- ate championship. The game will be called at S:3O o'clock.
 The Cumberland team is said to be very strong. Last season 1t defeated ev- cry team in Tennessee and this year has played some very fast and scientific games, so Howard expects to have her hands full.
 Cumberland has had very fast practice recently with the team of the Nashville Athletic Club, and the manager says the men are In such condition as to make 1t interesting for any team. This is prob ably the best team the Howard boys will have to meet this season, and should they win the two games believe they will have no trouble in carrying off the Southern intercollegiate championship.
 The Cumberland team also has a great advantage in weight-if that is an ad- vantage in a long game of basket ball. Her men average 176 pounds, while How ard only tips the scales at 134.

PRISONER HELD FOR
 CRIMINAL ASSAULT
FRANK HOWARD SAID TO HAVE HIT A FEMALE PRISONER OVER THE HEAD AND OTHERWISE ABUSED HER.

On a charge of assault and battery and Attempted criminal assault, Frank How ard, a white prisoner in the Northside city jail will be tried before Judge Feagin this morning. It is alleged he hit Cornela Byrd, negro woman, who is also Q prisoner, over the head with lock and then made an attempt to as- sault her. Night Warden Mcknight called in Policeman Phillips who made the charges against Howard.
 1t is said that Howard, who is the day Eteyedore. was taken for a walk Wednes- day afternoon by Warden Rittenberry. When arrested it is claimed Howard was drunk but it is said he obtained the whisky on the inside of the jail. Warden Rittenberry will swear this morning that the whisky was not bought while How ard was out with him.
 Frank Howard is serving a long sen- tence for obtaining money under false pretenses. It will be remembered he called at the residence of Captain de Whiting some time ago and represented himself to be the son of Frank de Whit ings employer in New York city. On the strength of this he borrowed $3o from Mrs. de Whiting and also a rare English coin, the latter to show to alleged friends of his at the Hotel Hillman. He returned shortly afterwards and gave Mrs. de Whiting the English coin. She had in the meantime suspected him and tele- phoned the Hotel TIillmn to find out if he lived there. They said not, and she called in Night Captain w. E. Weir, who succeeded in catching Howard after chase.
 Cornelia Boyd is well known to the po- lice She spends most of her time in the jail or in efforts to get there. Only re- gently, it is said, Judge Feagin asked that a warrant be sworn out for her so she could be taken to the county Jail and made to work.
 Howard denies the charges.

BS..GLARY AND
 LARCENY PREDOMINANT.

While the docket has been one of the heaviest for years, we find that cases of burglary and grand larceny largely pre- dominate, and although there have been a few very serious offenses, such as hom- icides and assaults with intent to mur- der, we find on the whole that there is no foundation for the opinion that our city and county is morally depraved and that crime Is not more rampant here than elsewhere.
 We have examined the county aims house and find 1t neatly and well kept.
 We would recommend that an elevator be placed in the courthouse for the con venience of the public.
 In regard to the water supply, we have made only casual examination. but un- derstand there has been a special com mission appointed to look after same, whose report will probably go fully into the subject.
 In conclusion, we thank your honor and the solicitors for guidance in the law. We would also mention the valuable aid rem dered by the officials generally, and the invaluable services of Stenographer Lacy and Doorkeeper Reeves. Also to the clerk and sheriff for prompt issue and execu- tion of all papers.
 And now having discharged our duties as grandjurymen to the best Of our abil- ity, we ask to be discharged.

Jury Says th3 Escape Was Due to the Negligence
 of Officers
BOTH NIGHT AND DAY
 WARDENS ALSO INDICTED
Report Claims Baillffs Pay Part of Their Allowance Back to Superior Offieers-Burgin Says He
 Is innocent.

,zzun HE grand jury yesterday in-
 dicted Sheriff Andrew w.
 Burgin for negligently allow ing Frank Duncan to escape from the county jail. The indictment charges that the said Andrew W. Burgin, while sheriff and jailer of Jefferson County, having the legal custody of one Frank Duncan, who was convicted of murder in the first degree, negli- gently suffered the said Frank Dun- can to escape"
 Indictments were also returned against Day Warden David Mims and Night Warden Henry Ball, charging them with the same offense.
 The report, which was received by Judge Dan A Greene of the Criminal Court makes some severe findings against the management of the jail, finding, among other things, that there is no com pulsory bathing and that the jail Is not clean; that the food is possibly not sui ficient, that vegetables are rarely given and that the food might be better cooked,
 They find that negligence was re- sponsibe for the recent jail delivery and that bailiffs are required to give a rebate of their per diem to their superior officers.
 BUR aIN SAYS HE
 WILL BE HANDICAPPED.
 Sheriff Burgin, when seen after the re- port had been brought in, stated that he was glad the grand jury had found bill. as it would give him a chance to vindi- cate himself before the courts.

Terrifl, Samuel L. Earle, w. A. Porter, George NJ Morrow. w. s.. Brown and J. A. Downey were sureties. He has asked for the cases to be set for trial next Satur- day.

 Away in Florida.

Dr. Dabney Luckie, one of the most promising young physicians of Birming- ham, died yesterday morning at Il o'clock at Plant City, Fla, where he had gone to spend the winter for the benefit of his health. Consumption was the cause of his death.
