maximum penalty is twenty years. The
trial ended after dark.

ion of the city court this morning on a
charge of burglary and safe blowing, the
contention being that they robbed by the
aid of dynamite the safe of the Montgom-
cry Theatre company last December. j.
e. Russell, the alleged associate of Dris-
coll, was also brought in for trial. but
on motion of the defense the cases were
separated and Driscoll tried first
The defense made a plea that the court
here had not jurisdiction in that the men
had been sent here for safe keeping
and were literally under the authority OF
the Mobile court, where they were bound
over shortly after being captured on
charges of carrying concealed weapons.
The court overruled the objection and or
dered the trial to proceed Russell was
among the witnesses for his alleged assc-
ciate.

blood his head beaten to a pulp with a
dull instrument supposedly hammer
He had been struck in the back of the
head and his skull was so crushed in
and clotted with blood that 1t was i'm
possible to tell whether or not he had
been shot.
Hammond was quarresome man and
had number of enemies to whom he
had not spoken in years. He was In
volved in several lawsuits with near rel
atives over property. The motive for
the crime was not robbery as nothing
about the place had been disturbed.

at once for the scene
Two of the finest blood hounds in the
country were sent from Lawrenceburg
Tenn, but failed to take up the trail as
hundreds of people had visited the scene
since the murder. Sheriff Hill returned
to Florence this evening without finding
any clue to the murderer
