No answer had been re- ceived to the telegram. They then drove out the shell road and returned to Mo- bile just in time to catch the Montgomery bound train.

 T have been a policeman and a deputy sheriff and have watched criminals most of my life" said Deputy Sheriff Young yesterday afternoon, but I have never heard of a convict camp allowing pris- oners to carry money with them. Why, all these men would have to do is to get to any little village and buy clothes and disguise"
 Driscoll Talked Freely.
 Driscoll talked freely of his transfer to Montgomery.
 You can say" said he in an excited voice, "that We are being treated ille- gally and in violation of our constitu- tional rights We were brought to Mont gOmery in direct contradiction of the wishes of the authorities at Mobile. We were brought here as criminals, whereas, they haven't a bit of evidence against us. We were denied our constitutional right to communicate with our counsel, being refused to telegraph our lawyer, J. j. Parker in Mobile. We were told We could write him. Write him? Huh, while It was a matter of seconds; well, they must take me for something easy. sure enough. But it will be resisted in the courts I'll promise you This kangarooing' process don't go"
 Russell made no protest against what Driscoll said. Driscoll is the best talker.
 If is known however. that telegram was sent J. J. Parker in Mobile, by the men. saying that they had been brought to Montgomery against all law and jus tice. and directing him to secure writ of habeas corpus and otherwise endeavor to effect their release.
