DETECTIVES WILL
 FACE THE CHARGES
BODEKER AND HAMILTON ARE AC- CUSED OF MAKING MALICIOUS ARREST-WILL NOT DISCUSS CASE UNTIL IT COMES UP.

Charges have been preferred before the police commission against Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton by J. S. Phelps for the arrest of his son. J. H. Phelps, several days ago on a charge of disposing of property on which another had a lien.
 The two officers have also been arrested on charges of assault and battery on Young Phelps, the charges having been preferred by the father.
 The charges and arrest grew out of the arrest several night ago of J. H. Phelps by the two officers. They claim to have evidence that the boy had disposed of some jewelry he bought from Bromberg, the jeweler and on which the latter had a lien. They claim to have evidence to support their charges made against him at the time.
 MT. Phelps claims that the jewelry was not disposed of, and that he had it in the safe at his office for some time, and that MT. Bromberg knew where the jew elry was. He also claims that the jew eler has not preferred any charges against his son, and that the arrest made by the two detectives was wilful and malicious.
 The detectives refuse to discuss the matter, only stating that they will make out their case before the police commis- sion. They also refuse to discuss the charges that they assaulted young Phelps when they arrested him.

 The two children. Robby and Rosie, the one about eight years old and the other about two years younger, are excellent stage children They were almost the best actors in the company. The coun- try parson acted his part with fidelity and some force, and so did the Dutch housekeeper.
 At length the circus disappears, and the parsons daughter goes back to the par sonage, taking her two children. She is dangerously ill, but she recovers, mar ries the hero and all ends happily.

PRELIMINARY TRIAL
 AGAIN POSTPONED
WILL R. ADAMS AND WALTER C. WEIGHT ON TRIAL BEFORE JUDGE ABERNATHY FOR KILL ING NEGRO NAMED TAYLOR.

The preliminary trial of Will R. Adams and Walter c. Wright, charged with mur- der, was commenced yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock before Judge H. B. Aber- nathy of the inferior court of Birming- ham. Two witnesses were examined and continuance was then made until Tues day by the court.
 The two men are white, and they are charged with taking the life of Will Taylor, negro, in the house of Ella Alexander negro woman, on the night of June 30 The Alexander woman lives on Ninth avenue, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth streets, north. There were only a few spectators at the prelim- mary trial yesterday afternoon.
 The defendants were arrested shortly after the killing, and have been in the county jail since that time. On three different occasions the preliminary trial was continued. The grand jury has never acted in the matter.
 The Alexander woman while on the stand yesterday afternoon testified that Taylor boarded with her and that while they were at supper last June, Wright and Adams broke into the front door, and shot down the negro Taylor. She testified that Wright did the shooting and that while 1t was going on Adams held a pick in his hand. She said that three shots were fired and that Taylor only lived about fifteen minutes after the shooting.
 The negro woman was cross-questioned closely, and at times while on the stand she evidently became badly confused, and on one occasion Judge Abernathy threat ened to fine her for contempt of court. She contradicted herself several times.
 Adams and Wright are employed as enginemen on the Frisco system, and they are well known in Birmingham. major ity of the witnesses for the state are ne- groes. Attorney Charles Denegree repre- sents the state and Attorneys John T.. Shugart and Robert N. Bell the defense.
