WISE CASE ID BE CALLED TOMORROW Nearly Two Hundred Witnesses
 Summoned STATE WILL BE READY Defendant Is Charged With the Killing of Elias M. Lathem Last April
 In the Morris Hotel
 Lobby.

The case of William Wise will be called in the first division of the criminal court tomorrow morning with Judge Dan A. Greene presiding.
 There have been ninety-one witnesses summoned by the defendant and sixty seven by the state
 It is known that when the trial is called the state will announce ready, but 1t Is not known what step the defendant will take. The case has probably attracted as widespread attention as any criminal prosecution ever held in Alabama. Wise is indicted for the murder of Ellis M. La them in the lobby of the Morris hotel on April 1T of this year. He was jointly indicted with Glen Havis for the offense, and Havis was tried several months ago and convicted and sentenced to serve twelve and one-half years In the peniten- tiary.
 Havis appealed his case to the supreme court where it is now pending. Both de- fendants have been in the county jail since the day of the killing Wise ap- peared before Judge A. A. Coleman of the circuit court on a writ of habeas corpus during the summer, seeking his release on bond. It was maintained by his attor- neys that since the evidence of the Havis trial showed that Havs was the man who actually fired the shot that killed the de- ceased and since he was found guilty of murder only in the second degree that Wise could not possibly be found guilty in a higher degree, and was therefore entitled to bail matter of right.
 Judge coleman's Ruling.
 Judge Coleman ruled that the petitioner was entitled to, bail and left the amount to be agreed upon between the attorneys. They settled on $l0,000 and the state gave notice of appeal through Solicitor H. F. Hefin and asked that the judgment be suspended, pending the appeal. The mat ter is now before the supreme court and Wise has been in jail in the meantime.
 Wise's prominence in the business world of Birmingham and the sensational details of certain features of the case was the cause of such widespread interest In the matter. A complete list of the defend ants witnesses thus far summoned is as follows:
