LOVELESS INDICTED
GRAND JURY REoPENs THE RE-
 CENT HAMILTON SHOOTING.
Accused Negro Immediately Arrest; ed and Shortly Thereafter Re- leased on Bond in the
 Sum of $1,5o0.

The announcement that the grand jury now in session. at-the- Court House had indicted John Henry Loyelsss for the murder of Virgil Hamilton, created con siderable interest among the negroes of Montgom cry.
 The indictment was reported to Judge W. H. Thomas with number of others early yesterday morning in the criminal division of the City Court.
 A warrant for Loveless's arrest was immediately placed in the hands of a deputy sheriff and Loveless was soon lodged in jail ~<,.----...-~-..--,-a-~ ..--
 After his arrest Lovelesss father. the weIl-known negro undertaken, and hiS attorneys appeared before Judge w. H. Thomas with an application for his re- lease on bond.
 In view of the fact that LoveIess had been acquitted at his preliminary hear ing, and inaSmuch as the indictment was not for murder in the first degree, the bond was fixed at s1,50O, and immediately made.
 No affair in Montgomery in recent years between negroes created the ex- citement among the members of that race as did the shooting of Hamilton by Loveless. The killing occurred at night, on South Jackson Street. three months ago. Jealousy was the cause of the Sno0JnS. BOtn negroes nau Deen al- tentive to young negress who attended the State Normal School and boarded at the home of Loveless's father.
 Loveless. 1t was stated. had tried to prevent Hamilton,s seeing the girl. and the latter had made threats against Love less.
 In the preliminary nearing before Jus tice B. H. Screws, the plea of self-defense was entered. Loveless alleged that as he and the, girl came out of a house on Jackson Street. where a dance had been given. they found Hamilton in waiting. He claimed Hamilton provoked a quar- rel, and declared he was going to fix him." Loveless further stated that Hamilton drew a pistol and fired several shots at him before he pulled his pistol.
 Hamilton was struck in the breast by the only shot Loveless fired, and killed almost instantly.
 LoveIess was struck by one of the bull lets from Hamilton's pistol. but it pierced his clothing without inflicting any in- jury.
 The negress who witnessed the shoot, ing gave evidence to corToborate Love less's account of the fight.
 Loveless will be tried at the present term of the City Court.

GALLONS NOT NEEDED
DURRETT's SENTENCE COM
 MUTED BY GOVERNOR.
Tuscaloosa Negro Pleaded Guilty tc Murder on Understanding He Was Not to Receive Capital
 Punishment.

There will not be need for the gallowe erected at Tuscaloosa for the negro Ben Durrett for Durrett will not be hanged. Governor Jelks yesterday wrote an order committing his sentence to life imprison- ment.
 Durrett killed a negro woman. cutting her throat. The crime was committed in Tuscaloosa in the autumn of 1901. Dur rett was tried in the county court in December 1901. and was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. The case was appealed to tho Supreme Court. where tho decision of the lower court was af- firmed.
 Lawyers representing Durrett thereupon laid the matter before the Board of Par dons and the Governor.
 It was shown that an agreement had been entered into between the defendant and the solicitor whereby Durrett was to interpose plea of guilty to murder, and receive a sentence to life imprisonment. Durrett did enter a plea of guilty. but the jury returned verdict of guilty and sentenced him to death.
 It having been made clear to the Gov ernor that this agreement was entered Into in good faith, the death sentence was ccnnmuted to life imprisonment.
 The reason for committing the negro's sentence are stated by the Governor as follows:
 Ut appears in this case that the dc- fendant had an understanding between the solicitor and the judge presiding and the prisoners counsel that the defendant should withdraw his plea of not guilty. and put in the plea of guilty. and that the jury should fix his punishment at im- prlgonment for life The defendant. le- lying upon this agreement. withdrew his nlea of net guilty to the indictment, uu, the jury. disregarding his pea, fixed his punishment at death.
 "In view of these facts, and following the recommendation of the Board of Par dons, 1t Is ordered that this mans sen tence be commuted from death to life inn prlsonment in the penitentiary."
