The Trial of Hayis.

Tho trial of Glen Hayis, char sed with the murder of Elias M. Latham, the
 young travelling man in the Morris Hotel
 last April. is now nearing the end. The
 defense rested this afternoon and the
 State commenced the rebuttal. It Is now
 believed that the case can reach the jury
 by the end of the week. and verdict
 will be rendered before :..-turday.
 This was the ninth day of the trial, and there was no difference in the size
 Of the crowd attending. The court room
 was crowded shortly after the doors were
 opened. Members of the families of the
 deceased and the defendant are attend
 ing each session and listening attentively to the proceedings.
 The first witness to take the stand to- day was J. P. Meroney. He told of the meeting of Mrs. Joe Rubel, sister of Will liam Wise, a co-defcndant in the case. and Elias M. Latham nt the Reese Drug Store about a week before the killing. He related before the jury a telephone conversation with Mrs. Rubei had by Latham. He stated that he did not hear anything about improper relations. The showing of Mrs. Joe hubel. mentioned last week. was submitted without objec- tions to the jury. Mrs. Rubel Is still too i'll to go on the stand.
 A showing was made for Richard Bar ton. who lives in Montgomery. This shoTfng was to the effect that the wit ness knew Latham and saw him in Mont gomery the day before he was killed. At
 Latham and the latter said he was going
 to Birmingham, that he was in trouble
 about a woman. but that he was prepared
 for t. The rebuttai will not occupy much time. Then the argument will follow and promises to be of short duration.

There Is yet no interfer- ence with the coal production in this State and the present contract remains In force until the 3oth inst. The coufer- ence of miners and operators this morn- ing adjourned Wntii Friday afternoon at o'clock when it is expected the joint scale committee will have something to report one way or the other as to a new scale. Furnaces and other large indus tries in this district have begun stocking up some little coal to be used in case of emergency. Good feelings prevail be- tween miners and operators and opera tors seen today assert that indications are bright for a settlement in the next day or two. The miners appear to be determined on getting some concessions in the way of an advance in their wages. Members of the joint scale committee have but little to say beyond the fact that much talking is being done on both sides in the meetings of the committees.
