TURNER TALKS OF MURDER. Negro is Captured in
 M0nfnomery.


 William Turner alias George Moore, a negro wanted in Birmingham for murder made an admission to Special Ofiicers Cantey and Swearengen by whom he was captured yesterday uorn- ing at o'clock in which he evidenced the fact that the killing of a negro is in his mind a trivial offense.
 The officers were in search of a negro convict who had escaped from the State mines near Birmingham. On Bell Street in West End, they ran upon William Turner. He fitted the descrip- tion of the escape exactly. The stub finger on the left hand of the escaped man was identical on the hand of Tur- ner, the missing teeth of the escaped prisoner corresponded with the vacant molars in the mouth of Turner. Tur- ner's skin, however, was much lighter than the escaped man is reputed to be.
 The officers put a number of ques- tions to the negro. He finally turned to them and said that he knew they were going to send him back to Birm- ingham anyhow and when he arrived in Birmingham, the authorities would know his real identity.
 'Dey don't want me fer no escape, said the negro. "Dey jes wants me for killing a nigger named Doc Cole"
 He was incarcerated in the city pri- son and the Birmingham authorities were notified. Sheriff Waller last night received a telegram from the sheriff of Jefferson County asking him to hold the negro until his arrival.
 Turner says that he acted in self defense in cutting Cole to death and believes that he will have no trouble in proving his innocence. The crime with which he is charged occurred on the night before last Christmas.

ISOWELL ENDORSEMENT

The petition of a majority of the
 bar and upwards of a hundred citizens of walker county for the appointment
 of State Auditor T. T.. Sowen to the

 No action was taken on the petition
 and the Governor has not fnlmateo

 The resignation of Judge Peyton
 Norvell, of the Law and Equity Court,
 has been in the hands of the GOV
 ernor since last Saturday. Judge Nor
 veil came to Montgomery in person
 resignation take effect at once. This circumstance makes .one believe that there will be little delay in filling this office. But there is no one who knows the Governor well but who believes a
 vacancy will not be created in SO i'm portant an off1ce as that Of Auditor without a fit and able man Is instant ly available. MT. Sowell, meantimes is hands free and ready at any moment to give in his resignation as soon as he is notified of his appointment to the bench which he seeks.
 The endorsement of Mir. Sowel for the judicial position is regarded as so strong as to preclude any other appli- cants practically. No other applica- tions have yet come to the notice Of the Governor. it is understood. and no
 one is expected to apply from the com court. Of the sixteen lawyers in the county twelve of the most prominent are on the petition for MT. SoweiPs appointment. About every county of ficer has subscribed to the petition and nearly every merchant in Jasper. the The naffffnn fS fliR rer- resentative without any rumor even of opposition and if another appli- cant shows up in the field there will be added strength to the petition, It is claimed by MT. Sowell's friends. :. The probable successor of MT. Sowell is the subject of wild speculation. He will be chosen with deliberation, 1t is believed, because he will have to do with important State policies in which the Governor Is interested be-
 sides the duties of keeping the states accounts. The Auditor is member Of the State Board of Compromise, the Railway Assessment board. the Capi- tol Building Commission and also of the State Board of Pardons.
 It seems that the announcement of the Law and Equity Court was as much a surprise to the people of Wal ker county as to his many friends in other parts of the State. Discussing the probable successor The Mountain | Eagle, of Jasper. makes Col. Sowell the logical man as the following from ! that paper of yesterday shows:
 Hon. T. L. Sowell, it Is practically
 assured, will be appointed to fill the l vacancy. In fact. he has no opposi- tion.
 Col Sowell has a year and three months yet as State Auditor but his | health has not been good in Mont gomery and he is anxious to get back | home where he has good health. His appointment, in opr opinion. will give general satisfaction"
