 United States Court of Appeals. | The opening of the United States court I of appeals today attracted a number of

 Much of the first day was consumed l in the hearing of the fruit company case from Mobile-that of Mcconnell vs. Co.,
 mars Mcconnell company, which was
 submitted. The next case was that of l the Montgomery Traction company vs.
 the Montgomery Amusement company. in
 which the former is resisting an order I keeping them out of Electric park. 1 The following out of town lawyers were l In attendance: Richard H. Clarke and | Gregory L. Smith, Mobile; E. K Camp I bell, John P. Tillman and F. F. Black | burn, Birmingham John l.. Sims. secre- | tary to the court, is also a Birmingham man.

 Barriere Released. F. P. Barriere was today given his I liberty by Thomas G. Jones. judge of the 1 United States court. He had been held l for some time under bond for the alleged | offense of deserting his wife in New Or l leans. It was shown In the statement | that the effort was more to get him back l to Louisiana to serve papers on him in | divorce proceedings than anything else. and Judge Jones, taking this view of the case, ordered him relieved of restraint. l The story Is one of much interest. Bar riere's wife undertook to get a divorce | and failed. He had in the meantime left
 New Orleans. It Is charged that the eff l fort to get him back was to make 1t pos l sible to serve him with papers in a sec- I ond divorce proceeding, out of which the l attorneys of the wife hoped to secure alimony.
 l All the parties are very prominent l Barriere has been In Europe. and only
 returned a few days ago to keep his ball l obligation, and hopes to be able to get | away again soon.
 l After the release of Barriere he was re- arrested on a second requistion from the state of Louisiana and on habeas corpus applcat ation had his case reset for a day
 next May.
 l SoweI Leaves Many Friends. Few men will ever leave the capitol or ever have done so who will carry, or I have carried the affection of those who | have been associated with them in larger measure than Col. Thomas L. Sowel. who gives up the office of auditor to become l judge of the law and equity court of l Walker county. Since he announced to- l day that he would leave on the 8:30 train | north, to reach Jasper at 1 o'clock to- night, there has been A continual stream | of friends to wish him good luck and | to express regret that he is going away. | Besides his association in the office of l the auditor, he has made friends of Att 1 torney General Massey Wilson and Sec
 retary of State E. R. McDavid, associates
 on the board of pardons, close and true. not to mention those who have become attached to him in the city outside the | confines of the state house.
 l Last week the men in the office who
 have been so long under his care threw l in and bought and presented him with a
 handsome gold-headed cane. which he is already using with that degree of pride natural in the premises. 1t representing l to him the affection of those who have
 been under his direction and who have never had cause to regret the choice of employers.
 | J. Kirk Jackson, private secretary to
 the Governor, said this of him. expressive I of the sentiment of the building: He 1 goes to accept a good position. but that l Is in no sense the equal in worth to the l good will in which he is held by every
 man in the state house"
