nor en route, and the men wore satisned airs throughout the journey.
 The removal of the prisoners from the custody of the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company to Montgomery by the Board of Convict Inspectors was about the priuci- pal topic in judicial and legal circles here this afternoon and tonight
 Some persons contend the men were kidnapped. Some of the legal lights here hold that the contractors are liable Tor damages in delivering Driscoll and Rus sell without first consulting with the Mo- bile County authorities. This was doubted by one distinguished lawyer, former lawmaker, though he asserted the men could. by habeas corpus proceedings se- cure their return to Vinegar Bend.
 It is understood from good gossip heard by your representative. that there will be a considerable stir up in a legal way. be- fore the action of the Convict Board is over with. One of the points argued by the legal light addressed, was that Dris- coll and Russell are not convicts and therefore the State Board has no jurs- diction over them. They had voluntarily elected, as previously noted in The Ad- yertiser, to go to Vinegar Bend. pending the action of the City Court grand jury and Probate Judge Williams had no al- formative other than to order them turned over to the contractor, which was done.
 Had the men already been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony, then they would be convicts, said the attorney. but as they were merely in custody on suspi- cion, as 1t were, they are not and cannot be convicts and are beyond control or the Board.

DRISCOLL AND RUSSELL, ACCUSED SAFE
 BLOWERS, IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY JAIL

left Montgomery for Mobile. Captain Taylor had been deputized as convict guard.
 The Montgomery officers reached Mobile at 5:30 o'clock the next morning, and waited for a train to Vinegar Bend until g o'clock. At Vinegar Bend, they pre- scented the order of the Convict Board to Turner Bros, convict lessees, and Dris- coll and Russell were promptly delivered to them.
 At. o'clock Sunday night, the officers and the prisoners reached Mobile. They seated themselves quietly in the lunch room of Mobiles depot and waited for the north-bound train, which leaves Mo- bile at midnight. They had hardly sat down when two Mobile police officers en- tered. They talked with the officers and prisoners several minutes and hurried out. In a few moments, Special Officer Lac sy of the Mobile police department entered the room. Lacey talked with the officers for some minutes. Two Mobile newspaper men entered the room. They talked with Captain Taylor. whom they knew. and se- cured Sheriff Walters name.
 As soon as the Mobile men left the room the Montgomery officers foreseeing court impediments, hired a hack and announc- ed that they were leaving for relative of Captain Tayior's in East Mobile. The prisoners were taken with them.
 Eluding Mobile Police.
 In the meantime a telegram had been dispatched to Chief of Police Gerald in Montgomery. to secure transportation for the officers and the prisoners from Super intendent Mckinney. on freight train.
 The hack started from the Mobile depot

Tor of the Montgomery Police Depart ment.
 They strenuously aver that they are the objects of a persecution and are helu in Montgomery in violation of their con- stitutioaal rights.
 Captain Taylor tells remarkable story of the efforts of the Mobile Police Department to take the men from the custody of Sheriff Waller and how their plans were outwitted.
 Soon after their arrival at the Mont gomery jail Russell and Driscoll sent a telegram to their Mobile lawyer and 1t Is expected that further legal process will be pursued to secure their freedom.
 Meanwhile their bonds have been fixed at 5000 each and they will have pre- liminary hearing next Monday before Justice B. H. Screws.
 They Had Steel Saw.
 Notwithstanding the protests from Mo- bile county that every precaution had been taken to secure their safety. a steel saw was taken from the prisoners at the Montgomery jail and they were well pro- vided with money in bag fastened about their necks and next their skin. It will be remember that on the night of December g. two safes of the F. E.. Forbes Piano Company and the safe of Hirscher Bros.. managers of the Mont gomery Theatre, were blown open and al- though those of the Piano Company was empty, the burglars succeeded in getting about $S5 from the latter safe.
 The following morning Albert Driscoll alias. Albert Duncan and J. E. Russell. alias J.. E.. Clark were arrested in Mo-

 Mobile, Dec. 8.-(speciai)-The pres ence in Mobile last night of Sher- in Waller and Police Captain Taylor of Montgomery with Driscoll and Russell, the alleged safe-blowers, created much speculation in police circles The two Montgomerians went to Vinegar Bend yesterday morning over the Mobile and Ohio The train on which they arrived from Montgomery was delayed until carly in the morning. The officers kept their prisoners at the depot until about 10 o'clock, then entered O closed carriage with them and left the station. When 1t became mooted about that the notorious prisoners were here newspaper men and others went to the station to see the men. How the officers and their charges board ed the train was not learned until after it had pulled out.
 It was not pleasant piece of news to some around the police station when 1t became known that the men had been removed from Vinegar Bend The con- tractors at that place. however. expressed feeling of relief that they had gotten rid of the unwelcome guests of their stockade.
 One individual here claimed that last night one of the prisoners had stated that they were kidnapped by the Mont- gomery officials. If this statement was made your reporter failed to hear it as he was in Vinegar Bend yesterday, board ed the train with the quartette and was near them until they arrived at the de- pot here. No such expression was heard at Vinegar Bend by your representative,

bile by detectives of the Mobile Police Department and two Jacksonville, Fla.' detectives as they alighted from the Montgomery train. The men were charged with carrying concealed pistols and having in possession burglars tools. The two detectives from Jacksonville, Fla, where the men were wanted TOT safe blowing claimed that they had foi- lowed the men from Florida and had been in Montgomery the night previous.
 Police Captain Taylor hurried to Mo bile. A picture of the men had been ac- cidently dropped while they were break ing into the Hirscher safe. A broken tool was also found near the safe. The picture, which Captain Taylor carried with him. was the picture of Russell and Driscoll, the broken tool fitted perfectly another piece of broken tool found in the kit of Russell and Driscoll.
 The Mobile Chief of Police, however. firmly refused to allow the Montgomery although DriscoIl and Russell were charged only with misdemeanors in Mo- bile. Affidavits charging felonles against them had beeh sent from Montgomery.
 Trouble in Mobile.
 The men waived examination before the City Recorder of Mobile and were held to await a jury investigation under a nominal bond.
 Here they changed tactics. Formerly they had protested their complete inno- cence. They were simple artisans so they claimed. But from some source Russell and Driscoll learned that the Vinegar Bend is one Of the most inse- cure prisons in the State. Going before the Probate Judge of Mobile County they elected to go to hard labor pend- ing a trial by Jury.
 Solicitor s. H. Dent of Montgomery, through his representative, Solicitor Webb of Mobile County, objected to this action. He believed and so did the po- lice authorities of Montgomery, that im- prisonment at Vinegar Bend meant es- cape for Russell and Driscoll but the authorities refused to allow him to have Russell and Driscoll. The men were sent to Vinegar Bend.
 The authorities in Montgomery had be- come busy, however. An afidavit was sworn out before Judge A. D. Sayre, pre- siding over the City Court of Montgom- cry alleging that the men were wanted in Montgomery for felonies. These men were at that time in Vinegar Bend in insecure confinement. A request was made of the Convict Board by Judge Sayre to have the prisoners turned over to the Montgomery authorities. This petition was immediately honored by the State Convict Board. Dr. Shirley Bragg, Physician Convict Inspector, acting in the absence of President J. NJ Carmich- ael, immediately gave an order on the convict lessees at Vinegar Bend for the two prisoners.
 Officers Moved Quietly.
 These things transpired Saturday. There were obvious reasons why they should not be published The Montgom- cry officers acted quietly but they were determined.

 Saturdays Mobile Register contained the following:
 "To the Editor of The Register:
 'I have just read in The Register of this date a special from Montgomery re lating to Russell and Driscoll, alleged safe blowers. Some days since another article appeared in The Register in which my name was used, and the average reader would understand the special from Montgomery as applying to me. l therefore request that you will publish the following. as the special is slander- ous and requires an answer.
 "The special in so far as applicable is:
 Montgomery officials today expressed indignation that Russell and Driscoll, the accused safe blowers. should have been sent to a Mobile convict camp for a trifling offence, when they are wanted in Montgomery for a felony. It was openly avowed that the alleged safe blowers were planning to escape, and 1t is broad ly hinted that there Is connivance.
 The convict camp at Vinegar Bend has just been officially declared to be the most insecure prison in the State, and at the Capitol today a high official, in his exasperation, pronounced 1t an internal outrage to send desperate criminals to such a place.
 With reference to the above l have to state that the law of Alabama is, per- son who is arrested on any bailable crim- inaI charge, in being brought before 8 justice or inferior court has right to demand a jury trial, in which event the defendant must be bound over to the next term of court empanelling a grand jury; there is no exception to this law.
 If a defendant is bound over to high CT court and fails to give bond, he has the right to elect to perform hard labor for the county, which right is secured under the following act of the legisla- ture:"
 (Here follows extract from the law on the subject)
 Russell and Driscoll were bound over to the City Court by Hon. J. McAleer. Recorder of Mobile, and failed to make bond and were committed to jail. They were brought before me by the sheriff, in pursuance of the act of the Legisla- ture, and under the mandate of that act l. as judge of probate, made an order al- lowing them to perform hard labor for the county. This was done for two reasons: First. no official will knowing Iy violate his oath of office. and secondly, I have no desire to be indicted and dis gracefully turned out of office, which might be done had I knowingly refused to perform my duty
 "'It was openly avowed that the alleged safe blowers were planning to escape, and it Is hinted that there is connivance.' The man who hints that the judge of probate of Mobile County 'connived' with criminals that they might escape. through such hints is malicious falsifer and slanderer.
 "The high official who in his exas- peration pronounced it an internal out rage to send desperate criminals to such a place was evidently denouncing the Legislature for enacting the law. and not the judge of probate of Mobile County

A CROWN OF GLORY
As Well as Mark of Beauty is Lux
 urious Hair.

It has been truly said that the crown ing glory of our race is a luxuriant head of hair.
 It used to be thought that this was one of the blessings which the gods be- stow capriciously, and it is only recently that scientists have discovered that its beauty Is dependent upon the absence of a minute germ which fiourishes in the hair follicles, where 1t destroys the life of the hair.
 To restore this life and kill the germs which cause the mischief is the mission of Newbro's Herpicide.
 Herpicide surely kills the germs, and is the best hair dressing on the market.
 It contains no grease or oil, neither will 1t stain or dye.

FIRE IN BoaUEHonrME.
Storehouse Occupied by Negroes Was
 Destroyed,

A frame store house, valued at about $500 was destroyed by fire yesterday even- ing at 6:3O o'clock. The building was sit- uated at the corner of Decatur and Win nie. Streets, and was occupied as a resi- dence by negroes.
 It Is said to have been owned by Cap tain B. W. Walker. It is not known whether there was any insurance upon the building.
 The fire was over 8 mile from the Mad ison Avenue fire station. It was situated too, at some distance from any water plugs. Once started the fire rapidly con- sumed the wooden structure.
 The negro occupants saved most of their household effects.
