Bennett Bibb and Lige Williamson yes- terday were found not guilty of the charge of being accomplices in the rob- berry of the Union ticket office safe. and released,
 They were placed on trial before Judge Feagin in the police court. He received a note from the foreman of the grand jury stating that true bills had not been returned against these boys. and on this they were released.
 John Blbb and W. s. George were both, placed in the county jail about noon. George is in the room over the warden's office and Bibb is In the second cell on the outside row. Yesterday afternoon. they. would not make direct statements but would deny and affirm certain things.
 George is very anxious to have an i'm mediate trial and has requested that he be given hearing before Judge Benners at once. The date of the preliminary has not been set. George laughs at the ac- cusation of Bibb that he had anything to do with the stealing of s41S out of the cash drawer of zeke Solomon's saloon. He states that he can prove an alloy He claims that on the date of the rob- bery he was working with one of the gangs of men under Bibb's father near Helena, and that he did not know of the theft until he came to Birmingham and overheard the Bibb boys and William son talking about it in a window in the Frisco house.
 George Thinks 1t a Joke.
 He also laughs at Blob statement that ] I.o fJod tha xvfo dOuy while the safe at the union ticket office was being robbed When told that Bibb was credited with making that state ment, George said;
 That's a d. lie."A
 George is also very anxious to know where the $10OO that Ribb is supposed to have given him has gone to. He says that he would like very much to get his hands on some of 1t, as 1t would make his sur roundings much more pleasant. He claims that he can prove by two persons where he was on the night of the robbery He states that he was in bed and that he didn't get up until late that morn- | ing
 Bbh Gets Lonesome. | yesterday afternoon. He said that he was feeling well and h>ped to get out. | His only expressed desire was to see somebody, as he explained that he had not talked to any one since he left the city jail He claims that he can prove that he was with other people on the night of the robbery of tile safe at the depot, and that if George will only get shave the owners of the woodward sa- loon will be able to identify him as the man who robbed the cash crawer of $4ls. Bibb also claims that he can prove that he was somewhere else the night the sa- loon was robbed.
 When asked about his confession yes- | terday afternoon Bibb said:
 T never made any confession. They may think that I did" He emphasized the latter sentence as if to infer that what he told the authorities was not cor rect or that he had not made any. 1 Bibb says that he hoped George is sat isfied with the plight he has found him self in and that 1t serves him right. He says that George is good mechanic and that George claims to be good cleo trician.
 Bibb said:
 Bibb Says George Is Wise.
 T don't see why they think l could have done all that work. l have never been outside of Alabama alone but once in my life and that was the trip to Nashville several days ago. George has been all over the country and is wise. can easily prove where l was on the night of the robbery"
 George was very much elated when told about the two confessions of Blob. He said:
 Tn the first confession he made Wed nesday he said that I did all the work. When the detectives pinned him down by the information they had he made an- other confession and came nearer telling the truth, for he confesses. that he did | the job and that all did was to stand on the outside.
 | eff Bibb will make one more confession | he will tell the truth. He will then con- fess that I did not have anything to do with the robbery and that he did the job alone. If he will confess that he will tell the truth and then I can get out of | here"
 The grand jury is Investigating the cases of George and Bibb. and it is said that an indictment has been made against both of them. Several witnesses were before the grand jury yesterday and were asked about the case. A number of true bills will be returned this morning and it Is generally believed that there will be one against Bibb and one against George. | Several officials yesterday stated that the confession of Bibb as printed in The Age-Herald of yesterday morning was correct It was not verbatim statement, but the officials state that it corresponds in facts to the statement made by Bibb.
