SANFORD NOT TRIED
SLAYER OF j. A. ACHOR TOO Hi
TO APPEAR.
Case Continued Until Next Term of
City Court-Frnnk Thompsnn
Pleads Guilty to
s.ss Murder.

The case against w. C. SANFORD. the
aged merchant of Vesuvious, charging
n the murder of James A. Achors. To-
comot,ve engineer. was continued for
the term yesterday in the criminal d.
vision of the City Court OF Montgomery
on account of the inability OF the de-
PENDANT to appear in court on account
OF sickness.
There was little or no opposition to
the continuance. A physician appeared
sin court and certified that the Illness
of Sanford was of a character serious
enough to prevent his appearance in
court. He was first taken Ill Wednes-
day.
A special venire of 100 taiesmen had
been drawn from which the jury to try
Sanford was to have been selected. In
addition to the talesmen. there was a
large number OF persons present inter-
ested in the outcome of the trial.
Sanford, 1t will be remembered, on
the afternoon of May "a, shot and
killed James A. Achor, a railroad en-
gineer, in his general merchandise
store in Vesuvius. Achor and Sanford
were engaged in hSht, growing out
OF dificulty between the railroad man
and a woman in the house Of Sanford.
He was arrested on a charge of murder
but was later released on bond by or
der of Justice r. H. Jones.
Frank Thompson. a young negro,
charged with the murder of Queen Sto-
ball on the plantation of C. L. Mat
thews several months ago, entered a
plea of guilty to murder In the second
degree. The agreement was that the
negro should be sentenced to fifteen
years imprisonment. The jury on re-
firing, however. considered the punish
ment too severe and returned a verdict
fixing the punishment at thirteen years
and three months imprisonment.
Thompson. 1t win be remembered.
killed Stoball at a negro funeral. He
had engaged in a difficulty with Henry
Harris and fired on him with a revolt
yer. which struck and killed Stoball.
Thompson escaped but was later cap
tured In Mississippi by Deputy Sheriff
a s. 8 Belser.
Only one case remains on the docket
of the capital cases, the case charging
rape against Willie Dowdell, a negro
boy. This case is set for trial today.
On Monday the court will take up
the thirteen cases of embezzlement
against Francis C. Randolph. sometime
