HEARING BEFORE
 JUSTICE FINISHED
RAMSEY, WHO IS CHARGED WITH KILLING j. P. WARREN, WAS AGAIN BEFORE JUSTICE ABER- NATHY YESTERDAY.

The preliminary hearing of J. w. Ram sey, charged with the killing of J. r. Warren in the woods near North Bir- mingham on Sunday, September 5, was completed yesterday before Justice of the Peace Abernathy and the prisoner was remanded to jail without ball.
 This case will probably come at once before the grand jury which is now In session and does not adjourn until week from Saturday night,
 The hearing has been postponed for week in order to give the defendant time to bring forward his witnesses, but none appeared yesterday. The counsel for the defendant cross examined Mary Finley who was with the deceased at the time the fatal blow was struck, in regard to what took place at that time and what she had been doing on the day Of the tragedy She testified substantially to what she had said before.
 It will be recalled that according to her testimony she was with Warren in the woods near North Birmingham when her escort was suddenly struck on the head from behind with what appeared to be the large end of billiard cue She turned and saw Ramsey and as he was about to strike another blow she threw ur her arm, which was broken by the force of the stroke. Ramsey she said, ther struck Warren again and the latter died from his injuries.
 She also said that Ramsey got her tc promise not to tell, after which he ran to- ward the car line.

HOWELL LODGED IN JAIL

Emory M. Novel;, against whom Helen Burgin for s2OO GOO damages for all legged seduction and against whom erim- inal proceedings were brought about the same time on the same charge. was ar rested late yesterday afternoon by Dep uty Sheriff George Courson In the Wood- ward building.
 He was given a preliminary hearing be- fore Justice of the Peace Abernathy and placed under $500 bond. Failing to make the bond he was placed in the county jail last night.
 The warrant for Nowells arrest was sworn out about month ago. He learn ed of the trouble that was brewing in some way and left the city and the depu- ties were unable to locate him. The boarding house in which he lived was searched on the night following the swearing out of the warrant, but Novel; could not be found. He was married only week or two before he left the city The Complainant.
 The complainant formerly lived in Bir- mingham but it is understood she now resides in Chattanooga. She is repre- sented by Won l.. Thompson. who states that the case will be prosecuted with all possible vigor to secure Justice for his client.
 MT Nowell had been in Birmingham for eana lime nrapnodino hts rppent dana artIlre and was engaged in the insurance busi- ness. Since he left the city about a month ago the officers have been on the alert for his reappearance, so that he was arrested yesterday shortly after his arrival in the city. When seen at the jail last night MT. Novel; was visibly nervous and evidently much affected by his arrest. He made snort statement however. as follows
 NowelI Talks.
 My bond in this case has been placed at $500 and 1 think I will have no trouble in making it. In fact the papers have al- ready been signed up but they have not yet been approved by the sheriff. I ex- pect them to be approved some time to- night.
 When I left Birmingham recently I went over to my home state. which is Georgia. My uncle lives over there and l wanted to consult him about what to do in the matter. My uncle is quite a veal thy man, is worth between four and five million dollars in fact, and have always relied great deal on his advice. After l had stated the facts to him he advised me to come back to Birmingham and tC allow myself to be arrested and stand trial, as he did not think anything could be made put of the case.
 "He would have made this bond him self in a minute, but the laws of Alabama are such that bond cannot be made by a man outside of the state
