TIME OF HEARING
 POSTPONED A DAY
Preliminary Trial ofHavlS, Wise
 and Rubel Tomorrow
CONFER WITH ATTORNEYS
Three Men Accused of Murder of La them Spending for Most Part Quiet Time In Jall-Morphlne
 for HaVis.

The time for the preliminary hearing Of Glen Havis, William Wise and Joseph Rubel. who are charged with the murder of Elias NJ. Lathem last Friday morning in the lobby of the Morris hotel, has been postponed until tomorrow morning at Ii o'clock
 It was at first thought that the case would commence this morning. but 1t was found that there were other cases on the docket of Justice of the Peace l. H. Benners, before whom the warrants on which the three men were arrested were made returnable today. After consulta- ton yesterday morning between the at torneys and Justice Benners 1t was agreed to commence the trial tomorrow.
 The preliminary hearing will be given in order that habeas corpus proceedings may not be instituted by the defense. and also to allow any of the accused men who can show that they are not guilty to make bond or go free.
 Interest in the case has not diminished, although 1t has been nearly a week since the shooting occurred, The air of mys- tery which has surrounded the part of the woman in the case has indeed caused the interest to increase rather than to lessen, and 1t is pretty certain that the court room will be packed when the pre- lminary hearing Is called.
 It is stated on good authority that a new witness to the shooting of Lathem has been found who will prove one of the most important, and whose testimony will be of unusual value to the proseeu- ton. The witness is white man, but his name is withheld. He is said to have made statement that at the time of the shooting he was coming through the door leading from the toilet room of the hotel Into the lobby, and that he was within three feet of Lathem when he was shot. The man Is very positive that Lathem did not have a pistol in his hand, and states that when Lathem passed him staggering into the toilet room there was nothing whatever In his hands.
 Some wonder has been expressed at La thems ability to open the door into the saloon, and this Is supposed to be the man who held 1t open while the wounded man passed through. It seems from this mans statement that he was closer to Lathem than any one else and in a much better position to see if he had a pistol in his hand. A negro witness has stated that Lathem did have a pistol in his hand.
 No definite statement has been given out about the grand Jury completing the investigation, but it Is understood that they have. If that be true a report will
 probably be made on Saturday The three men accused of the crime are taking the matter rather quietly in jail. Havis has asked for whisky. but
 his request has been denied, although he
 was given an injection of morphine to quiet him yesterday morning. Wise, Rubel and Havis had a conference with Attorneys Morrow and Oberdorfer yester- day morning. It lasted about an hour.

nCOWDOY" BREWER
 IS FOUND GUILTY Convicted of Larceny from Per- son in Criminal Court TOOK $20O FROM A MAN Robbed Frank 5rundldse of Money In Lewd House on South Twentieth
 Street on the Night of
 December 30.
TOOK $20O FROM A MAN

John Brewer, known as ''the Cowboy" was convicted yesterday In the Criminal court of larceny from the person. He was charged with highway robbery. The Jury returned verdict finding him guilty of larceny from the person of Frank Brundidge and stating the amount stolen was $2S0.
 The Brewer trial was resumed yes terday morning before Judge Samuel E. Greene in the Criminal court Little fur ther evidence was introduced, the most important testimony being given Mon day afternoon.
 One woman testified for the defendant that he had given her s4Oo to keep for him. It was this money that Brewer claimed he divided so generously at the resort at 281h Twentieth street.
 Brewer came to Birmingham during the state fair last year. He went to 2Sh Twentieth street with Frank Brundidge Testimony showed that Brundidge had a large roll of bills and that Brewer was not provided with funds. The housekeep- CT testified Brewer had previously given her s75 to keep for him.
 Brundidge said he found himself with Brewer in front of the Metropolitan hotel bar on December 30 of last year. It was late at night. He suddenly lost conscious ness and when he regained 1t found he had been badly beaten. Evidence also showed Brundidee had been drinking free ly at the house referred to, and that Brewer divided some money between Marie Lewis. the chambermaid the house. keeper and Mildred Harris.
 The court charged the jury that under the indictment 1t could return either a verdict for highway robbery or larceny from the person. The judge instructed the jury that if 1t was convinced force was used in the theft to return a ver- dict of robbery but if the jury found he took the money at the house, without using force, to return a verdict of lar ceny; also that if the defendant was found not guilty to state simply that.
 Brewer was taken back to the county jail. Unless he gives notice of appeal he will probably be sentenced Saturday.

At the Bijou.

Magician DeBiere, one of the features at the Bijou this week, adds much to the drawing power of an exceptionally clever bill of vaudeville. He has a routine of really clever feats of slight O hand, and his illusions are executed so rapidly that they are all the more deceiving. DeBiere is assisted by a young man pretty near the same size as the demonstrator, and the result is the illusions are accom- plished with greater ease and with less work, than if mechanical help were used One of the features of the contribution, is the clock trick that made Hermann so popular all over the country.
