EXCUSE FAILED TO
SATISFY THE COURT
A MAN CHARGED WITH LARCENY
OF A WATCH TRIED TO EXPLAIN
THAT HE HAD NO INTENTION OF
STEALING.

Many funny excuses are made to Judge
Feagin in a day by the prisoners before
him, but one of the richest of this week
came out yesterday morning when j..
w. Mccoy, white man, was on trial for
larceny of a watch.
The watch was the property of Jim
Ferry. who had taken Mccoy home to
spent the night with him. When Mccoy
left the following morning the watch
went with him A few minutes later
he tried to pawn 1t for car fare down
town. Mccoy was placed on the stand
and told the court how he came by the
watch He said:
Judge, l acknowledge taking the
watch, but l did not do II to be stealing
I was sitting in the room playing with
Jim's baby before dinner. and the badly
was fretful. l reached up on the MANTLE
piece and took the wath down to amuse
the baby with it. / let IL tick to the
chld's ear, and it was quieted
when Jim said come into dinner I
guess | just put the watch in my pocket
l forgot all about having it, I don't
know how 1t reached my pocket but
somehow it just got there Me and Jim
was to go to Virginia City and I pawned
to steal it, judge"
Fifty dollars and ninty days will put
on you" was the Judges only answer.

WAS RECKLESS DRIVER.
White Man Is Fined $25 for Running
Over a Little Boy.

It cost J. w. Eberhardt, a white man,
just s25 to play fireman and drive reck-
lessly through the streets of Brming-
ham several days ago. The cost was put
to him in Judge F'eagin's court yesterday
morning In the shape of a fine.
The evidence of several witnesses was
that Mr.. Eberhardt was coming down
Twentieth street several days ago with
his horses dashing along at a rapid rate.
and he seemingly making no effort to stop
them.
On that corner he ran over a little boy,
injured him slightly and broke his bicy-
Gle. Eberhardt pleaded that he was IN
able to hold the horses, but the Judge
thought that the best thing he could do
was to have turned their heads to the
mountain and let them run instead of
coming towards town.

RESPONDS
TO DEMANDS FOR MONEY

When called on for money for any
purpose Birmingham probably contributes
more literally than any other city of It's
size In the south. At present there are
three different causes pleading for money,
the total of which is about 100000 and
the prospects are bright for all of them
getting what they need
In the first place the Commercial club
is soliciting subscriptions to the Vulcan
fund, and 1t will probably, in fact it is
certain. that 1t will get the $4,000, which is
the balance needed. The canvas has been
in progress for about a month and al
ready something more than $4,000 has been
raised The committee thinks it can
make out with $4,000.
There is no doubt in the minds of the
committees of the club that the entire
amount of money needed will be subscrib-
ed within a very few weeks.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-02-16

The Hillman hospital has issued a car
for Sl2,000, and a committee of twenty-five
has been appointed to get that amount
From this committee a subcommittee
will be named to take active charge of
the subscription lists. OF the amount
needed, $500 was raised at mass meet
ing Sunday afternoon and there were not
more than 300 people present. AS soon as
the committee gets out with the subserip-
ton blanks the hospital management will
have in sight enough money to tide over
the present shoals and until some ar
rangement can be made for permanent
and regular source of revenue.
For some time past the Y. M. C. A. has
been asking for money to erect Its gym
nasium. By soliciting two days the COM
mittee secured nearly $4,000. About $1,000
more is now needed. 1t seems evident
that this will be secured.
