WILL DORSEY TO
 HANG MARCH 27
SUPREME COURT DENIES APPEAL OF THE NEGRo-coNvlcTED OF HIGHWAY RoRBERY-WILL BE TWO HANelNGS NEXT MONTH.

will Dorsey will be hanged on March 27. The Supreme court has denied the ap- peal of the negro. who was convicted in the Jefferson County Criminal court on a charge of highway robbery a year ago. The jury senteno ed him to be hanged. but he took an appeal to the Supreme court and there the case was pending for about year.
 Dorsey will probably be the first per- son to be hanged in Alabama for the crime of highway robbery, though three regroes are now in the Jefferson county jail under sentence of death for a simi- lar offense. However, they have appealed their cases and will doubtless not pay the death penalty until after March 27 should the Supreme court decide that their sentences must be carried out.
 Dorsey after committing the crime for which he was convicted fled and was ab- sent for two years. Upon Lis return he was arrested and tried.
 He was charged with going to the home of David McNamara, near Birmingham, and at the point of a revolver robbing linn Another negro accompanied him, 1t Is said, and enc of them shot Mir. Me Namara, after showing aside his wife. who had placed herself between her hus- land and the robbers

CHARGED WITH
 KILLING OFFICER
MILTON PERNELL IN COUNTY JAIL SUSPECTED OF BEING THE NEGRO WHO SHOT POLICEMAN BENNETT AT ENSLEY.

Milton Pernell negro, Is in the county Jail on charge of the murder of Police man E. L. Bonnet at Ensey two weeks ago.
 Pernell was arrested several days ago on suspicion of being wanted in Shelby county on charge of assault with in- tent to murder. An officer came to Bir- mingham and found he was the wrong man.
 Yesterday morning c. F. Camp, chief of police of Ensley, went to the jail and looked at the negro. He had reasons for thinking he might be the man who killed Policeman Bennett and at once swore out warrant before H. B. Aber- nathy, justice of the peace.
 It is said there is one man who, it is thought, can identify the man who killed the officer. At present that man is i'll at his home In Ensley and as soon as he Is able he will go to the jail to see Per nell.

part to the entire satisfaction of the audi ence, and the Giuseppe of Lionel Barry more was effective throughout.
 Margaret Dale as Lady Lumley left an excellent impression. Through her work shone refinement and intelligence, and she was particularly pleasing in the lighter passages In which the play abounds. The remainder of the company afforded Mir. Drew adequate support and the beautifully mounted. and eostumeo play moved along harmoniousy and ef- fectively to a pleasing conclusion.
 MT. Henderson presents a plot that has been told and retold many times on the stage. He cannot claim novelty in the chief story but he can claim that the dialogues are full of light and brightness, and that the story is well told from first to last. It loses nothing in the hands of MT. Drew and bis company. The eharac- ters are we'll brought out; they are full of genuine humanity, and yet are plctur- esque and poetic.
 Altogether 1t was.what the young ladies would cali "a sweet play" in which there is much of human interest, much that Is emotional interspersed with much that brings out ripples of merriment.
