Henry King Was Captured Near
 Gurnee Junction
CROWD SURROUNDS JAIL
Negro Makes Conflicting Statements as to Ills Whereabouts Sunday Nlght---Was Arrested Without
 Trouble--MuIIIn's Funeral.

Henry King the negro whom the police men went to Gurnee Junction to catch was captured Monday night about 8 o'clock three miles from that place and brought to Birmingham yesterday morn ing.
 It seems certain that he is Is not the Henry King whom the policemen have arrested here before, and who has such a long criminal record, but there are strong possibilities that he is the negro who shot and killed Policeman James H. Mullin Sunday night about z o'clock at Second avenue, and Twenty-seventh street.
 Captured Without Trouble. The negro was captured without trouble by Policemen Hamilton, Bodeker. Burke and Henry Murphy as he was leaving a commissary at Imogene, and he admitted at once that his name was Henry King. also known as Bud" King, and that he had boarded the freight train at Besse-
 mer and gotten off near Gurnee Monday morning.
 The negro states that he spent Saturday and Sunday in Bessemer but that he was not in Birmingham at all and knows noth- ing of the killing of Policeman Mulhn.
 The police are by no means certain that he Is the right negro, but he has been placed in the county jail and will be held until his actions have been thoroughly investigated and there is not the slight est doubt one way or another about the part he played In the shooting The train on which the policemen
 brought King to the city arrived at 1o:45 o'clock and was met at the depot by Chief of Police Wier with a strong marty of policemen. The negro was sur rounded by the officers and placed in the
 patrol wagon with several of the police men and carried to police headquarters,
 where he was placed in the city jail. Crowd at Passenger Station. There was a large crowd at the depot, and still larger one at the jail. More
 than 2OOO people were packed around the
 iail. and it was feared that some demon-
 stration would be made against the negro If 1t were learned he was the right one. After the negro had been in the city iail for a short while. the police decided that it would be best to place him In the county jail, and so the patrol wagon was backed up to the door and the negro was again placed in 1t and carried to the coun- ty jail, carefully guarded by several po- licemen. The crowd at the jail ran ahead
 of the wagon and was gathered at the county jail when the wagon arrived there.
 When 1t was decided to move the negro
 from the city Jail rumor was circulated by the police that the negro had been taken through the court room and that he was already at the county jail Some of the crowd believed this and left but fight between two white men took place and the crowd all came back. The report that the negro was moved was not pe- lieved and the crowd waited patiently until the wagon was backed up to the door.
 There was no demonstration by the crowd, and it seemed to be more intent on getting a look at the negro than any thing else.
 A number of policemen who knew the

moned a jury to sit on the case and the evidence will be taken up this morning 1t 9:3O o'clock. The jury will assemble in Chief Welr's office. There will be a great deal of evidence to be heard in the case. As there is still a doubt about who shot and killed the policeman. the officers desire that every statement shall be sworn to and put in such shape that it can be used as evidence in the higher courts.
 The Funeral.
 The funeral over the remains of Po- liceman Mulip were conducted yesterday afternoon at the Baptist church at East Lake by the Rev J. M. Shelbourne, the deceaseds pastor.

PRESIDENT ID
 BE INVITED Fair Association VIII Urge
 Roosevelt to Come PRESIDENT KREBS IS ACTIVE
Representative Committee Going to Washington to Extend Invitation. Collector Thompson Tells of
 Roosevtlt's Desire to Come.

The Alabama State Fair association will invite President Roosevelt to visit Birmingham during the fair, which takes the association is not quite ready to make official announcement of the fact but it Is well known that the arrange ments for inviting the nations chief ex- ecutive to be the guest of the association of the state and of Birmingham have been practically completed.
 A delegation of prominent citizens of Birmingham will be sent to Washington to urge upon President Roosevelt the desire of the people of the state to have him visit Alabama at that time. The del- egation will be composed of men influ- ential in the business and civic affairs of the state.
 Auspicious Time.
 It is felt by the members of the asso- citation and by others who know the President that he can be prevailed upon to come to Alabama this fall and 1t is also thought that a more suspicious time could not be chosen than during the state fair. At that time visitors will be in the
 
 as from the adjoining states. Excursion rates have already been announced on all lines from the states adjoining Ala bama during the fair, and if the Presi- dent should honor Birmingham by his presence the city would, in all probabil- ity have the largest number of visitors in it's history.
 Internal Revenue Collector J. o. Thomp- son recently visited the President at oys- ter Bay for a conference and that time MT. Roosevelt asured Mir Thompson that 1t would give him extreme pleasure to visit Alabama. When seen yesterday MT. Thompson stated that the President seem- ed sincere when he made the remark He thought that the only thing that might possibly deter the President from coming south would be the fear that his motive in making the trip might be mis- understood.
 Almost Certain to Come.
 That was not the first time President Roosevelt has expressed a desire to visit Alabama and it is thought very probable that when a committee composed of prominent men goes to Washington and urges upon him an invitation that he will be almost sure to accept. This belief would not be so strong if 1t were the city of Birmingham alone or one of it's com mercial bodies that extended the invita- ton, but the state fair association is com posed of prominent men from all over Alabama and the invitation would be in the nature of a request upon the part of the whole state to have MT. Roosevelt honor it by his presence.
 All the details of the plans will be com pleted within the next five days and the delegation will go on to Washington as soon as possible.

Henry King wanted in several places for different crimes state positively that this is not the same negro, although he has somewhat the same appearance and a number of scars which correspond some what to those of the other King.
 Worked for Jones Nelson.
 Jones Nelson, a well known white man. has identified the negro under arrest as one worked under him on several of the grades around Birmingham. He states positively that he knows the negro, and also states that the woman, Annie Rob- inson, who is under arrest, frequently cashed this negro's checks while he was working under him
 Annie Robinson is the negro woman who asked Policeman Mullin to arrest the ne- gro who shot him. She claimed that the negro had been hitting her and Police man Mullin placed him under arrest He walked across the street with his hand in the negro's belt, going to a telephone for the purpose of calling the patrol wagon. The negro pulled a pistol placed 1t at the policeman's heart and shot him.
 Annie Robinson and Henry King were brought face to face yesterday morning and the woman almost positively identi- fled the man as rhe one who struck her on Sunday night. She said that she had never seen the man before Sunday night; that he was similar In every way to the one who struck her and that she was almost willing to swear 1t was the same one
 This, with the statement of Jones Nell son cause the police to feel pretty con- fident that they have the right negro, but they will be better satisfied just as soon as they can trace his actions.
 Conflicting Statements.
 The negro has made two different state ments as to his whereabouts on Sunday night, claiming to have been in Bessemer and also that he was in Jasper coun- ty near where he was captured. It is certain. however. that he got on A train at Bessemer Monday morning and rode to Gurnee Junction. He left the train as soon as the conductor started to ask him questions.
 All of the policemen who took the trip in pursuit of MT. Mullins slayer Slaye re- turned to the city. They were Policemen Richardson, Baker, Disheroon. Henry Murphy. Burke, Hamilton, Bodeker, Jack son and Oldham. Policemen Baker and Disheroon were separated from the party which captured the negro. and they re- turned yesterday afternoon They went across from Tocoa to Echols in hack in search for negro with a bullet hoie through his leg. but they were unable to get any trace of him. They searched the quarters in every mine in that immediate vicinity but were unable to find out any thing.

MARSHALL DILL IS SENT BACK ID JAIL Commissioner Wilson Sets the
 Bonds ut S40O0 CHARGED WITH DEONAGE Also Had to Answer to Charge of Con- spracy-Bob Stevens, Negro,
 Is the Only Witness
 Called.
CHARGED WITH DEONAGE

Marshall Dill charged with peonage and conspiracy was yesterday remanded to jail in default of 5000 bond under each charge.
 United States Commissioner Birch gave him a preliminary hearing yesterday morning. Bob Stevens, negro, was the only witness placed on the stand, but the testimony of the former hearing In which Aaron Dill and Archie Dill, father and brother of Marshall were defendants, was submitted for consideration by the commissioner
 Marshall Dill was not caught until after the other two had been brought to Bir- mlngham. According to the testimony at the former hearing, Marshal was the most guilty of the three and the evidence brought out by the examination of Bob Stevens yesterday seemed to point to the same conclusion.
 Stevens on the Stand.
 Stevens was placed on the stand by Assistant United States Attorney N. L.. Steele. He testified that he had signed a contract with Marshal Dill to work for him a year at s9 9 month but that he had never been paid any money. He said Charley Hudson was also kept by Mir. Dill anu tHal WHtu I1uuSOH ITieu OO one oc- casion to escape he and MT. Dill went after him, and that when Charley started to run MT. Dill snapped both barrels of his shotgun at him, but both failed to go off.
 Tried to Cut White Man.
 He also said that when Hudson was caught, he tried to cut MT. Dill, but cut himself instead; that MT. Dill then tied Hudson's hands behind him and marched him home and that when they reached home Archie Dill knocked the negro down with his fist while his hands were tied. He said they then tied Hudson to a tree and Marshal Dill with a pointed pistol, commanded him (Stevens) to whip the other negro, which he did
 He said, further, that they had once had a picture taken in which Marshal ADll with a pistol in hand was standing bbetween the two negroes, Charley Hud- son and himself.
 Defendant Valves Preliminary.
 The defendant was represented by A. Leo Oberdorfer who gave notice at the opening of the hearing that the defend ant waived preliminary examination.
 The three Dills are now confined in the county jail, ase well as the negro, Bob Stevens Stevens was made a defendant in the case on the same charges as the in certain of the alleged crimes. but he is being held chiefly because of his im- portance as a witness in the case.

ST. LOUIS IS CRITICISED.
Government Boards And Guests Of
Honor Hunt For Rooms.
FREE TICKETS TO GROUNDS.

st. Louis, May before the day
set apart for the dedication ceremonies
connected with the worlds fair it was
demonstrated clearly that st. Louis is
in no wise prepared to care for the
quarter of million strangers who will
be here the balance of the week. Gross
mismanagement also appears.
The chief executive of the Empire
state, Governor Odell, arrived at the
Union station, only to find that no
delegation of prominent citizens, no
committee representing the worlds
fair management, were at the train to
welcome him and his party to the city.
Alone and unaided, the governor was
compelled to make his way to his hotel,
only to discover that, if apartments
had been engaged for him, they had
been given by the management to some
one else. To say that Governor Odell
was mad clear through expresses his
feelings mildly.
Among others brought here to par
ticipate in the dedicatory ceremonies
are a number of government boards
who ostensibly are guests of honor of
the city and worlds fair management.
These have been furnished with tickets
of admission to the grounds, valued at
% and so cents, and this is the only
recognition of their coming which they
have received thus far.
The hotel accommodations are totally
inadequate.
While the question of getting the
visitors out to the grounds is serious
one, it it as nothing compared to that
of how to get them back at the conclu-
sion of the ceremonies. In going out.
the street car company have all
day in which to carry the many thou
sands who wish to participate in the
festivities, but their utter inability to
get the people back into the city the
same night is admitted by all.

Scenes At st. Louis.

st. Louis, May 4.-Whiie Cardinal
Gibbons was delivering the invocation,
cat calls, shrill whistles and babel of
cries prevented anyone hearing what
he said. The address of Hon. Thomas
H. Carter was inaudible twenty feet
away and President Roosevelt had
time and again to ask for the courtesy
of hearing for the same reason.
When Grover Cleveland arose to read
his address, he was given a cordial
reception, but almost instantly thou
sands of people got up and left the
hall.
