JOHN BROOKS GETS
 DEATH SENTENCE Convicted of Killing William
 McKinsIer MANY WITNESSES CALLED Evidence Showed He Killed an Aged Man and Took His Horse and Rode Across the Country
 to Chattanooga.
MANY WITNESSES CALLED

John Brooks, a negro, was convicted or murder yesAerday in the criminal court and sentenced to be hanged.
 The testimony showed that he Killed William McKinsler an old negro about seventy-fve years of age between Bir- mingham and Gate City. At the time or the killing the old man was driving roan mare hitched to cart. Brooks un- hitched the mare and rode her across coun- try to Chattanooga, where he was ulti- mately captured.
 The Identification of Brooks as the man who did the killing depended largely upon the Identification of the mare he had at the time of his capture. J. s. Ham of Birmingham testified that he thought the animal was the same that had formerly been owned by McKinsler.
 Noah A. Hood, clerk of the circuit court of St. Clair county. George w. Hodges a merchant of Ashville. and Will liam s. Ferman, Jr., of Ashville. testi- fled that they saw the defendant pass though Ashville riding the roan mare on Thursday following the killing which oc- cured on Saturday.
 
 Robbed Old Negro.
 The trial also developed the fact that Brooks had robbed the house of an old negro woman at Ashville and secured a pocket book while he was en route to Chattanooga. Mary Banks. the woman whose house was robbed. appeared and identified the pocket book found on Brooks at the time of his arerst as one which had been given her by Mrs. Eulalia Sparks of Birmingham.
 Mrs Dampier testified that on the day of the killing she had started out to pick berries and met McKinsler, the old negro killed in his cart, and that she met the cart again on her way home, but that another man was in it. She did not think the man in the cart was the de- fendant She gave as her reason for her belief the fact that a negro came along the road where she and her children were picking berries who was dressed in over halls and that he helped them gather ber- ries. She said that the man who had helped them pick berries was the same that she later saw riding in the cart.
 Fatal Remark.
 D. T. Hays of Chattanooga. who ar rested Brooks, testified that when he made the arrest Brooks had an extra suit of overalls. He said that the negro also remarked at the time he was ar- rested: 'I have killed man but you haven't sense enough to catch me in it'' The jury brought in a verdict of mur- der in the first degree and that he suffer death by hanging.
 This is the second death sentence dur ing the present term of the criminal court. Bob Stone was sentenced early in the term.

Oregon Boxes
For The East
New Market Opening for the
Fine Spruce Lumber of the
Northwestern States.

A new field II developing for Oregon
hox lumber, and gives promise Of be-
eeniing the greatest Of all markets for
the local product. OF late there has
been very pronounced scarcity Of box
lumber in the eastern states. and In
aulries are coming to Pacific coast
points from many OF the Industrial CEN
iers Of the eastern portion Of the coun-
Try. In.speaking Of the matter yester-
day b. j. Pye. superintendent OF the
clatsop Mil company's box establish
ment, said:
''The demand for Oregon box lumber
that Is beginning to core from the east
is evidence Of the opening Of new field
for our spruce. The odoriess classes Of
lumber, such as 1sed for packing butter
sugar and cereal foods. that absorb
taint from pitchy wood. are fast giving
out, and Oregon spruce must take their
place.
There Is also a growing scarcity OF
cheap cottonwood lumber In the South
ern states, and the price has recently
risen. This class of lumber is used ex-

and it's rapid failure means that orders
for boxes win come to the coast. where
the spruce supply is good. We are
now turning out some Eastern orders,
and look TO see big increase in the
trade before long. The start is only
now being made, and prices are neces-
sarIly low; but, as the Eastern timber
supply is almost exhausted, the market
must soon look to the coast for its box
es. The outlook for the box business
vas never SO bright as now, and we are
rushed with work. Indeed. It Is impos-
sible for the local mills to handle the
orders that come in. The bulk OF our
present trade Is with California, put
the scope OF our field is widening"
