HE MUST GO TO JAIL SUPREME COURT oVERRULES
 PULLMAN COUNTY JUDGE.
nGilIard M. Gregory Charged With Murder Was Released on Habeas Corpus Which Decision High
 CT Court Reverses.

By a decision of the Alabama Supreme Court. handed down yesterday, Willard M Gregory of Cullman County charged with murder, but who is now at liberty. will be again remanded to jail. from which bond can release him.
 The action of the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Probate Judge of Cullman County who in a habeas corpus proceeding decided that Gregory was entitled to a bond. This bond was fixed at S5. 900.
 Gregory was charged with shooting Bill Mann to death with a pistol in Cullman County sew eral weeks ago hhortly after the shooting Gregory was arrested and lodged in the Gull man County Jail. His attorneys swore out a writ a habeas corpus to secure Gregorys re- lease on bond.
 The State contended that the case against Gregory was of such a nature that bond should be allowed. The corcumstances cur rounding the killing, the State contended were of such a nature that the prisoner should be held without bail.
 The Probate Judge. however, granted the prisoner bail at S5,ooo, which he made. He is now at liberty.
 Solicitor D. c. Almon carried the habeas cor pns proceedings to the Supreme Court. .fhe opinion of the Supreme Court endorsed the contention Of the Solicitor The action of the Probate Judge was overruled and the Sheriff of Cullman County was instructed to rearrest Gregory.

modations and the prettiest grounds ever used in this place. That the transporta- tion has not been equal is proven not to have been their fault and 1t is to them a loss.
 There has been but one game witnessed by the writer that has not been a stub born, brilliant and hard fought contest and that one was after the disheartening ill advised kicking and comment. Heroes when they win. dummies chumps and what not beside when they lose.
 It Is hard that the discriminating lover of an evening out should suffer for the lack of judgment of those that know no better
 It is more than probable that the most blatant kicker, while he poses as sport" could not define for you the true meaning of that word. It means a man to start with, man that goes into any game to win or to lose If he wins he wears his laurels gracefully; if he loses he takes his loss manfully. He does not act mammals baby boy'-'If I cannot win l won't play" He determines to try again and again until he does and he will continue to play ball until. like the Lit tie Rock team. they strike again a win ming gait and they love to be cheered by the plaudits of their friends and are discouraged at ungrateful comment.
