TRIAL OF JIM MOSS AT TUsKEGEE
 WEARS END.
l Arguments of Counsel Have Been Heard. and Justice Proctor Will Announce Decision Today l --Evidence Clrcumsfamfial.

Tuskegee, Oct. 27.-tSpecial. )--Tes- timony In the preliminary hearing of Jim Moss, co1ored. charged with the murder of Allen A. Combes the night of October 14. has been completed. and the arguments have been made. Jus tice of the Peace T. F. Proctor. be- fore whom the case has been tried, will announce his decision tomorrow.
 The State has made out a strong case against the defendant, but all of the evidence is circumstantial. It was proved that Moss followed Mir. Combes up the track from Chehaw the night of the murder, and that he was in 300 yards of the scene of the crime. When arrested. Moss told Sheriff Hud- dleston of Macon County that he had but one pistol. and that the weapon was in his room In Montgomery The State proved that the night of the crime Moss borrowed a pistol from an- other negro, saying that he might have need for 1t.
 A pistol ball of A calibre was found was discovered. The pistol borrowed by Moss the night of October IA was of A calibre.
 Moss finally confessed to the Sheriff that he was in possession of a pistol the night of the murder. It afterwards developed that the weapon had been buried by relatives of the suspect. It was dug up and turned over to the Sheriff.
 The defense has fought the case stubbornly, but has had little to offer directly in Mosss behalf Advantage was taken of every slip of the prose- cution, and an effort was made to prove the good character of the de- fendant.

Iron in Demand.

Alabama iron manufacturers are re- ceiving many letters from consumers throughout the country making inquiry as to exact conditions and feeling around for future requirements. A high official of one of tho larger con- cerus in the district in commenting on the situation said that his company was not in a position to handle any business. practically out of the mar ket, and there was no telling what prices were being received by those who were able to sell iron When asked about the railroad car shortage he said that 1t was not so bad right in the immediate Birmingham district. but away from here in the State 1t was not at all satisfactory. Of course the railroads are going to be blamed a good deal for slow deliveries of Iron, but there is a large amount of iron sold ahead, and 1t will take time to i'll all orders.
 There Is an intimation that No. 2 foundry iron will be selling at s15 per ton, quick delivery. before the middle of December. The $14 price appears to be fact on small lots. early deliv- cry, while special analysis iron Is bringing good premium over the market quotations.

 Space in the Pullmans going to New Orleans was at a premium last night and a bunch of about twelve pretty mad passengers were unable to get even a despised upper. Travel coming South is unusually heavy right now and every night the sleeping car space in both the Louisville and Nashville and Western trains is generally all sold before the trains get into Mont gomery. Either another through train or one or more extra Pullmans would be a welcome relief to the traveling public just now.
