STATEMENTS SEEM
TO Be CONFLICTING
Negro Charged With Decatur
Murder Not from Brookside
MINE FOREMAN SEES HIM
Mr.. AIdrich Employed at sIoss-shef-
fields Brookside Mines Talked
With Johnson-Had Never
Seen Him at the Mines.
MINE FOREMAN SEES HIM

Ed Johnston, the negro, who is con-
fined in the Jefferson county jail charged
with numbering Miss Bessie Bloodworth
the daughter of a prominent New De-
catur merchant last Saturday night a
week ago, has evidently been making
some conflicting statements.
1t will be recalled that Johnston made
the statement shortly after he arrived in
Birmingham, that he had been employed
in the mines of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel
and Iron company at Brookside In JEFF
ferson county. Seeing this statement A.
B. Aldrich, who is foreman of the mines
at Brookside called at the county tail
last night to see If he could identity the
negro.
Not of Brookside.
THAT negro has not been employed at
the mines at Brookside recently" said
Mr. Aldrich after he had talked with
Johnston. HE claims nov that he was
from Blossburg. l have never seen him
in or around Brookside."
Johnston stated when he was brought
in from Warrior that he left Brookslde,
where he was employed to bale water
last Monday morning after having Sc
cured a 81 check cashed for 80 cents, a
quarter and a nickel as he expressed it.
He said that he came to Birmingham and
remained here for a day or so and then
went to Warrior to see an uncle who
was sick there. He was arrested in War;
rior.
Deputy Sheriff Sykes of Decatur who
brought the man to Birmingham for
safe keeping, returned home Saturday
night. He Is said to have expressed the
belief that Johnston is the guilty man.
Decatur Officers Coming.
1t is understood that several officers
of the law from the Decaturs will arrive
In Birmingham this morning, in an effort
tc work up identifications of the negro.
The main point Is said to be the fact
that Johnston is now wearing O complete
suit Of new over-alls. which he says he
purchased at Brookside
The feeling at the Decaturs is said to
be intense, and 1t Is thought highly prob
ston be established and he is carried
county court, that the Governor will or
to accompany the negro TO the trial, to
prevent any violence.
The reward for the arrest of Miss
Bloodworths slayer amounts to almost
two thousand dollars. Governor Cum
ningham on behalf Of the state OF Ala
bama offers $500 reward.

THE MERRY MINSTREL

The merry minstrel will shortly be
in our midst again and the gags of
the corner men be heard once more
in the land.
The entertainments, there are two II
them, are to be given at the Orpheum
under the auspices of the Kamehameha
Alumni Association. The first show
will take place on Saturday night and
the second, a week from that date.
The object Of the performances is
an excellent one, the proceeds being
devoted to the Alumni Associations
fund for providing tuition for young
Hawaiians who wish to attend Ka-
mehameha but who, for financial rea-
sons, are unable to do so. Much good
work has been done by the association
along this line, since its inception.
Thirty Kamehamehas past and pre-
sent and a sprinkling of local talent,
will assist in carrying out program
which promises TO be one Of the best
of it's kind ever presented to a local au-
dience.
The program will consist Of the

HARD WORK FOR
CONTRACTORS
OF HARD CORAL STRA-
ia TO START BLASTING BEGUN
AT ALAKEA STREET SLIP.

The difficult parts of the work on the
Alakea street Slip were begun yester-
day by Lord & Belser, the contractors
The work of drilling into the hard stra-
ia Of coral for the purpose of blasting
out that obstruction was commenced
yesterday afternoon and will now be
prosecuted as rapidly as possible.
The progress that the big dredger
has made in cleaning up the softer bot
tom is astonishing. Yesterday at noon
the dredger was half way up to Alakea
street from the edge or the channel.
This part Of the work has been pro-
crossing at an unexpected rate. This
upper strata is about eight to nine feet
in depth and consists Of soft mud and
sand and broken bits Of coral. Under
meath this section comes a second
strata of hard coral This coral is the
part that viii have to be blasted out.
The drilling for the reception of the
charges for the blasts is now i'm pro-
gress.
The drilling machine started at the
edge of the channel yesterday. Mean
While the dredger is cleaning up the
soft sub-strata at a rapid rate The
blasting will continue from the outer
edge of the channel, while the dredger
is working up towards the head of the
slip. After the soft strata will have
been cleared up the dredger will haul
back and follow up the line of blasting
by picking up the bits of hard broken
coral Underneath this strata which is
about ten feet in depth is another
strata which will, it is thought not re-
quire so much blasting, as it is thought
to be of softer material.
Yesterday the debris cars were I'M
able to keep up with the dredger. One
bucketful fills car and the result was
that the dredger filled the cars faster
than they could discharge and get
back alongside for reloading. The
dredger was idle at intervals during
the day.

hearing on the charge of gross cheat.
Only two Witnesses We're put on the

Seattle was promised Kuboto on the
S. 5. Stanley Dollar on payment Of s.
cash and a note for $27. Kikitake
claimed that he had chartered the yes
sci and had charge Of the ticket ar
rangement. He said that there would
be a steamer at Victoria on the arrival
of the S. S. Stanley Dollar to convey
the japanese passengers TO the Ameri-
can ports.
c. F. Chillingworth, who was prose-
cutting the case, argued that the ar
rangement of the cheap rate OF s. cash
and an unsecured security in the shape
of the note was fraud on its face. 7.
w. Cathcart who was defending did
not place any witnesses on the stand
and moved for dismissal which was
granted by the court who held that
there had been no evidence to prove
any gross cheat against the defendant.

Large Increase In

YEAR-DEcREAsE IN NUMBER OF OPINIONS CALLED FOR BY
DEPARTMENT

During the last year &c cases have
been argued in the Supreme Court and
20 of them won by the Territory, while
during the year before there were %
cases argued and 10 won.
The number of civil cases tried this
year in the circuit courts We're 46, of
which 81 have been won, 6 lost and 8
are awaiting settlement. Last year
the number of cases was 81. The fig
ures as to results are not at hand.
In opinions last year was far ahead.
There We're 2S7 written opinions and
G54 oral as compared to the 221 writ
ten and 405 oral during thisy ear.
Il don't know why the number Of
opinions has been reduced" said the
attorney general. Perhaps the heads
of departments are getting wiser.
"The real reason, I suppose is that
they have opinions already on many
matters that come up. In fact we
sometimes have requests for opinions
on matters that we have passed upon
before"

Attorney General Andrews has been
making up his annual report, in re-
Spouse to the acting governors rogue st
for such a report, to be used in the
preparation of the annual report of the
governor of the Territory and has col
lated some interesting figures showing
the work of the department between
July 1, 1904, and July I, 1905. The Grim"
inal work and court work generally
was greatly increased, while the num-
Der of opinions turned out for heads Of
departments was less. 1t was still very
large, however, there having been 221
written opinions and 4O5 oral opinions
given during the past year. In both
criminal and civil r~atter the proper
ton of cases won shows a good in
crease,
In the present year there were II
terms of the circuit courts attended by
the attorney general or deputies, as
against 13 in the year previous. There
were 2S3 criminal trials and pa con-
Victions, as against 1876 trials and 131
convictions in the previous year.
