art Arrested at Instance Of solic-
itor HefIIn-out on
$500 Bond.

John T. Shugart, member of the law
firm of Shugart & Bell, and the father OF
Roland T. shugart. the young attorney.
who is on trial in the first division of
the criminal court. charged with taking
the life of A. ]. Banholzer. was arrest
ed yesterday afternoon on a warrant
charging him with attempting to bride W.
s. Armstrong.
Armstrong was summoned to appear In
the criminal court to act as a juror last
week when the Shugart jury was selected
to try the case. Attorney Shugart was
arrested on a warrant sworn out by S.
q. Thomas. at the instance of Solicitor
Harrington P. He1in. The warrant was
issued by Judge l. II. Benners of the
inferior court of Birmingham and was
served on Mr.. Shugart by Sheriff Andrew
W. Burgin during the progress of the
trial. Attorney b. M. Allen was speaking
for the defense at the time and Mr..
Shugart was called out of the room and
the paper was then served on him. Ev-
erything passed off so quietly that no one
In the court room knew at the time what
iau transpired. Bail was fixed at $500

cused.
The solicitor contends that he has In
formation which goes to show that Mr..
Shugart offered Armstrong a certain sum
provided that he was selected as one of
the Jurors to try his son. and the trial
shoul end as he desired 1t to- The solicit
tor, however, refused to discuss the mat
ter other than to say that the warrant
was sworn out at his instigation. Mr.
shugart lives out of the city several miles

night to secure a statement
The indications are now that the Jury

the speech making. Robert N. Bell will
speak for the defense this morning and
Solicitor Hef1ln will close for the state.
Judge Dan. A. Greene will then charge
,, the jury. The charge will be in writing
and 1t Is understood that 1t is rather
lengthy
Attorney Hugh Morrow spoke for the
defense yesterday morning and he was
followed by Attorney Jesse F. Stallings

for the defense made the closing arg,,-
ment of the day.
Inc court room was crowded at both
