PROBATION NEGROES ESCAPE.
Boys Being Sent to Country Were Too
Smart for Conductor.

Five of Judge Feagins little proba-
tion negroes. proved too sharp for a
conductor on the Alabama Great
Southern yesterday morning, and man.
aged to escape from the train just after
1t had reached Jonesboro.
The six little negroes, one of them q
negro girl, were being sent to the farm
of Sam Daley, near Tuscaloosa, and
the conductor of the train was asked to
take charge of them and deliver them
to Daley at Tuscaloosa when he met
the train.
The five negro boys formed a plot
to escape, and as soon as the train
reached Jonesboro and the conductor
was attending to his duties, they did
escape. The boys will probably return
to Birmingham within the next few
days, and they will be caught by Pro.
baton Officer Jackson and returned to
jail to serve sentence of one year.
This is the first time that any of the
boys being sent to Daley have escaped
from the train. and Judge Feagin
thinks that Ii he had sent them in
ones and twos there would not have
been any trouble in getting them all
there safely

COURT BUSINESS
Is FALLING OFF
THIS TIME LAST YEAR WORK IN
PROBATE COURT WAS WEEKS
BEHIND, BUT NOW ONLY A DAY
BEHIND.

Clerical wark in both the probate and
the chancery courts of Jefferson county
has decreased wonderfully the past
twelve months.
On yesterday Probate Judge Stiles
stated that prior to this year his office
force was generally several weeks behind
in the work of recording documents. He
said that he had recently reduced his
clerical force by three men and that the
reduced force is now only one day behind.
The great falli.-g or In the chancery
courts is attributed to the fact that the
United States bankruptcy court has OBJ
sorbed the business, and litigants find
cheaper and more certain release from
financial embarrassment through that
source.
The dimminution OF fees Is not very dis
couraging to the hopes of those officials
who are soon to retire. but the incoming
officials will hope for increased business

POLICE CAPTURE
NOTORIOUS NEGRO
GEORGE BANKS, WITH MANY
ALIASES, ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO
MURDER-coLLEcToR CUT.

Policemen Bennett and Cole have made
one Of the best captures effected by the
police department in some time. They
arrested George Banks, alias Williams
alias Washington, alias Ward, a negro
on a charge of assault with intent to
murder on Clifford Cox, a collector for
]. L. Wallace, and 1t has developed that
the negro is wanted for a score or NOR.
Of burglaries.
The collector went to the negro's house
to collect what he owed on machine he
had purchased, and the negro attacked
him, cutting him slightly with a knife.
The police went to the negro's house late
Wednesday night and captured him.
Yesterday morning they searched the
house and found several hundred dollars
worth of merchandise which the negro
had stolen from freight cars of the Ala
bama Great Southern railroad and other
roads, and goods supposed to have been
stolen from residences in the city.
For some time the Alabama Great
Southern has been complaining of cars
robbed In the freight yards, and the
special detectives of the road were unable
to catch the burglars. When this negro 3
house was searched Special Agent Ball.
of the Alabama Great Southern was sent
for and he identified much of the proper
ty found.
While working In the yards the negro
had learned of the location of various
cars containing the goods he desired. and
he would go to them at night and break
them open. There is no telling how much
he has stolen. and 1t is thought he has
disposed of large quantity of what
was taken. The police consider him one
OF the most persistent burglars in Jeffer-
son county.
