MOTION FOR NEW
 TRIAL OYERRULED
CASE OF L. A. BENNIE VS. A. A. GAMBILL IN WHICH BENNIE GOT JUDGMENT-AN APPEAL TO BE TAKEN.

Judge Senn yesterday overruled the mo- ton for a new trial in the case of l.. A. Bennie vs. A. A. Gambill city tax coilec- tor, in which Bennie was given a judg- ment for $1G00 damages for false arrest on a charge of selling theatre tickets without license. The case will probably be ap- pealed.
 Several months ago at the time when a movement was started to prevent specu- lating in theatre tickets and license was imposed upon persons engaging in this practice. MT. Bennie was arrested by MT. Gambill and required to make bond or be incarcerated in the city jail. MT. Bennie proved that he had not been speculatng in tickets and was discharged. He then brought suit against MT. Gambill for dam- ages and received a judgment in the city court for 5000.
 Attorneys for Gambll made motion for a new trial on the grounds that the amount was excessive and was given hearing.
 Judge Charles A. Senn overruled the motion yesterday and now the case will go to the higher courts.
 MT. Bennie and MT. Gambill are both well known in Birmingham and the case has been watched with considerable in- terest

BANDHoLZER WILL RECOVER.
Judge Abernathy VIII Probably Allow
 Shugart to Make Bond.

 Judge Abernathy will probably allow Shugart to make bond today or tcmor- row. He is waiting until he receives a physician's certificate to the effect that BanhoIzer will in all probability live. He has not allowed Shugart to make bond for fear that Banholzer would die.
 As soon as the wounded man is able to attend court. the preliminary trial will be held before Judge Feagin.
