MOTORMAN PESNELl
 DIES FROM WOUNDS

It was announced last night that coun- sel for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will demand all i'm mediate trial of R. l.. Dix the negro sign writer who is said to have stabbed Bert Pesnell to death on a car at Second avenue and Twentieth street Monday night. Pesnell, who was a motorman for the company, died at the Hillman hospl- tai at o'clock yesterday morning. The wound which caused death was inflicted just above the heart and caused the vital part of the body to rupture.
 The employees of the street car company are circulating a petition to Solicitor lief lin to call q special term of the grand jury to hear the evidence in the case in order that the trial may be held at this term of the criminal court. The company is assisting the employees.
 When officers of the str5,. railway company learned that Pesnell was dad they declared that the perpetras1r of the murder should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They immediately called into consultation the company law years and told them to demand a nasty rial of Dix. This means that the law

| firm of Tillman, Grubb Bradley and Nor row c. A. Avant and others will assist the state in the prosecution. The trompt action had a tendency to comp ,se the minds of hundreds of employees whJ were considerably wrought up over the fate of their colleague
 Pesnell never regained consciousness after he turned to his conductor, R. I. Bernhardt, who stood by his side after he was stabbed Monday night and said: "Bernhardt if I'd only had something with which to defend myself" The body was removed to Gaudin's undertaking es- tabishment a short while after Pesnell died yesterday morning, and later the body was removed to the home of his mother, brothers and sisters, 1917 Walker avenue, East Lake. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon and the inter- ment will be in the East Lake cemetery.
 Besides hs mother Mrs. Susie PesneI, the dead man, who was only 19 ytars Of age, is survived by two brothers and two sisters, one of whom Is married One of the brothers lives at the family home, while another Is planter near Spring vile.
 The Pesnell family came to Birming ham from Arkansas, in which state the dead motorman was born. He was wsil liked by his fellow employees and had number of friends. His character was of the best and he took a grea. interest in church affairs.
 Dix was arragned In the police court yesterday morning and turned over to the sheriff on a warrant sworn out by J. c. Walker, relative, of Pesnell before Justice Abernathy. It charged murder, and the negro was taken to the county ian Although Conductor Bernhardt de- clares he Is positive Dix Is the man, the negro says he did not strike 4the blow. Besides the conductor, there are many witnesses who saw the negro leap, from , the car and run, and his captors, John Reddick and Leonard Anton, will prob ably be state witnesses. They caught Dix on Third avenue after chasing him half a dozen squares. A number of shots were fired at him while he was going through second alley. and Sam Doran, who is employed by Lige Loy, had nar- row escape He left the back door lead- ing to the alley just in time to meet the negro. but the noise of whizzing bullets caused him to seek a place of safety. Dix Is we'll known at the sheriff s office. Last Christmas eve day Sheriff Burgin had rather sensational expe- | rience with him, and only the timely ar | rival of the sheriff preventing what prom- | sed to be a mild rot.
 i A number of men employed by an auc- | ton store on Second avenue was in the
 act of going after Dix when Sheriff Bur
 gin, who was passing by at the time or
 the disturbance, arrived on the scene and l placed Dix under arrest.
 | In some way Dix had angered several
 white men in the store and they were giving chase when the sheriff interfered
 Dix was lodged in jail. but in his pre- liminary hearing was acquitted.

COUNCIL fAVORS
 NEW FRANCHISE Robert Jemison Addresses BeS-
 semer Board TRANSFERS ARE REFUSED Quo Warranto Proceedings in the Brighton Public School to Be
 Heard in Bessemer City
 Court This Morning.
TRANSFERS ARE REFUSED

Bessemer, October H.-(Speeiai)-Ihe city council of Bessemer, in regular ses- sion tonight. voted resolution faVoring the granting of franchise to the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany for the building of car inc to Jonesboro.
 Robert Jemison, president Of the com pany, was present and made an address to the council, stating fully the position of his company in requesting fran- chise
 The city council at two previous meet ings had failed to grant the franchise, and Mayor Sullivan had invited MT. Jemi- son to attend the meeting tonight and discuss several questions for the beneht of the members.
 It seems that the strongest opposition to the granting of the franchise was on the refusal of the company to agree 10 the giving of transfers from the Jones' boro line to the two main lines to Bir- mingham. There was also some objection to the route specified by the company. After considerable discussion in which MT. Jemison took a leading part Alder- man Lewis offered resolution that the city attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance covering the terms Of franchise allowing the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company to build the proposed line provided that work be- gins within ninety days and is com pleted within one year.
 In his speech to the council Mir. Jemi- son began by stating that the application I eli, the development of opposition, as he did not care to build a line where there was opposition. He further stated that the application for a franchise had only been made after repeated demands from the people of Jonesboro and Bessemer, and unless the franchise was granted free of all charges or restrictions the company did not want the franchise.
 After rather warm discussion be- tween MT. Jemison and some of the mem- bers of the council in reference to trans fers, in which Mir Jemson absolutely re- fused to consider the matter of granting transfers Alderman Lewis offered the resolution mentioned above after the an- nouncement that Mir Jemison desired the franchise If 1t would be granted by the council free and unrestricted. The resou- ton met with some opposition, but was adopted by a vote of five to two. Coun- cllman Bissett and Councilman O'Gara voted against the resolution.
 Other matters of minor importance were considered by the council and reports from committees read and adopted

GADSDEN NEGROES
 GIVEN HEARING
TAKEN TO CITY FROM BlRMlNG- HAM AND FEW PEOPLE IN GADS- DEN KNEW THE MEN WERE IN TOWN.

Gadsden, October 17.-(Special) )-Sheriff William Chandler and Deputies John Lis ter and Mcdaniel reached Gadsden at l2 O clock Monday from Birmingham with Vance Garner, Jack Hunter and Will JohI son, the three negroes charged with the murder of Mrs. Sarah Jane Smith, white, on the night of the 17th of June last The sheriff and his prisoners were met at the Printup by Chief of Police White and squad of police, and the ne- groes were taken at once to the court house, where they were taken before Judge Disque and the date of their trial set.
 When the negroes were arraigned each plead not guilty. There were six counts in each indictment against each negro. Judge Disque asked the negroes if they had secured the services of lawyer to defend, and when they stated that they had not Judge Disque appointed $. Hen- derson to the task of defending them, and he accepted and at once took charge of the cases. The cases are set for the 20th, 21st and 22d of November, being the first three days of the next term of court Jack Hunter will be the first of the trio to be tried. Hunter and Garner were very unconcerned during the court proceedings. but Will Johnson seemed to realize the predicament he was in and paid close attention to everything that was said and done.
 Immediately after the cases were set the prisoners were taken back to Bir- mir gham. Very few people in Gadsden knew that the negroes were in town un- til they were gone.
 The crime with which these negroes are charged Is the most revolting ever perpetrated in the county. On the night of the 17th of June Mrs. Smith was de- coyed from her home by pretense of finding her two wayward boys, and when on her return homeward without finding any trace of them she was waylaid on lonely road on the outskirts of the city, assaulted by the three negroes and then her neck broken and her body left in a bunch of trees close by the roadside. where it was discovered" by one of the gang Sunday morning and the alarm given.
 The police got to work in hurry and before the sun set that day all of the guilty ones were in jail with the excep- ton of Jack Hunter, who was later turned up by his mother. An attempt being made to lynch the negroes on Sun day night the prisoners were rushed to Birmingham for safekeeping, where they have been ever since
