VIII Be Held Here Until Requisi-
tion Papers Are Secured.

Claud Hill alias II. w Jones, the young
white nan arrested last night by Detec-
tive Hamilton charged with murder in
Waynesvilie, N. c., is still incarcerated
In the city Jail waiting for an officer to
come for him.
A message was received by Chief Wier

Waynesville asking that the prisoner be
held. The message stated that an officer
would come to Birmingham as soon as
requisition papers could be secured.
Hill, alias Jones, is alleged to have
killed Ralph Wells, the son of a promi-
nent attorney in Waynesvile two years
ago, the quarrel originating over a game
of pool. The murder is said to have been
committed by the use of a beer bottle
with which Hill struck young Wells in
the head, killing him instantly.
At the time of his capture Hill was
employed by the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company, it being his
duty to turn ON and off the various lights

CORONER'S JURY
INVESTIGATING CRIME
LOOKS INTO KILLING OF CHARLES
MINTlLLO-WILL BOYD is RE-
MANDED TO JAIL-FUNERAL
SERVICES YESTERDAY.

Owing to the fact that several witnesses
" no had been summoned to appear yes
terday morning before the coroners jury
in the investigation of the murder of
Charles Mntillo, did not appear, the sit
ting was continued until Saturday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. Boyd, the negro who Is
under arrest charged with the crime,
was remanded to the county Jail by order
OF Coroner Paris.
The jury before which testimony was
taken yesterday morning consisted of j.
Is. Marshall W. S. Russell, j. II. New
man, ID. A. MeGhee, Lee White, r. w.
Coleman. The session began about Q
o'clock and lasted until l.
-Four witnesses were examined and were
quite contradictory in their statements.
A strong bit of testimony for the negro
was given by the proprietor of Montgom-
ery's saloon, where Boyd was arrested.
He stated that Boyd was at the saloon
about $50 ON the morning of the murder,
and 1t is claimed that the crime was COM
nsittted about that time. However, G..
w Staples, a travelling man for the
Forbes Plano company, who was one Of
the first to reach the scene of the crime,
, testified that he was almost positive that
Boyd was the negro whom he had seen
standing over the body Of Mintillo when
he first arrived
Coroner Paris stated yesterday after
neon that he was confident that Boyd
was implicated In the murder, but thought
THAT there was another negro concerned
in it also and announced his determination
to continue probing the matter until he
had gotten all the facts in the case and
could place the responsibility positively.
Boyd was arrested Monday afternoon by
Officer Elledfe, charged with numbering
Charles Mlntilo that morning near Duck
Pond, on the Ensley- birmingham road. At
the time OF his capture he had on a
blood-stained shirt and could give no con-
nected account of his whereabouts at the
time of the crime. Efforts are being made
to prove that Boyd is the same man who
was standing in the wagon over Mintlllo's
body when Staples arrived on the scene.
Mintillo's body was carried to its last
resting place in Oak Hill cemetery yes
terday afternoon shortly after o'clock,
being followed to the grave by a large
number Of his fellow countrymen. Funeral
services were held at the house of the
deceaseds sister at AIS South Twcnty-fifth
street, and were conducted by the MEM
bers of the Humberto and Princess Sa-
Yoy societies.
At the conclusion of the services the
funeral cortege, headed by Memois
band proceeded from the house to the
cemetery, and the body was lowered into
the grave after exercises by the two So
cieties, both of which were present in
full uniform to perform the last sad rites.
No clergyman was present.

Alderman Henry Gray will introduce a
resolution at the meeting of the Mayor
and Alderman tonight condemning stock
exchanges and bucket shops and provid-
ing that no licenses shall be issued to
them in Birmingham after October 1.
Mr.. Gray conferred with several of the
aldermen yesterday and they assured him
that he had their hearty support in the
matter and that they would use all their
efforts to have the resolution passed. The
indications are that 1t will be passed
unanimously.
This is, however, only ons of the IN

the aldermen will ratlfy their previous ac-
ton. At the last meeting an ordinance
was passed prohibiting billiard. pool and
other games being played in saloons. Since
that time pressure has been brought to
bear by the saloon interests in Birmlng-

Clarence Evelyn Field.

Yesterday afternoon at lao o'clock
Clarence Evelyn Field, the young son
of Mrs. Virginia A. Field, died at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs w. II. Half,
i4O5 Huntsville avenue, where his mother
had taken apartments In the early sum-
mer. He was born In Los Angeles on
August 5, 1884, and came to Birmingham
when he was years old.
Evelyn Field was an exceptionally
bright and promising youth until nearly
two years ago, when he was stricken
with the disease from shleh tse died. Dur
ing all thai Tine il has bofne his suffer-
ing with heroic calm and fortitude in
his unselishness and patience, seeming to
care more for the anguish of his devoted
mother than for his own.
He received his education in the Bir-
mlngham public schools and the Ala
bana Polytechnic institute, afterwards
for few months holding a position with
the First National bank of this city.
No young man In the city was possessed
of brighter mind or a more lovable ma
ture and more gave farer promise for the
future. He was a consistent member of
the Episcopal church, and a member of
the Brotherhood of St Andrew.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at , o'clock from the Church of
the Advent, the services to be conducted
by the Rev. Quincy Ewing. The following
members OF the brotherhood of ST. An
drew will act as pallbearers: Claud Cot
ten. Robert Ewing. Thomas Forbes, Joe
v Coe, S. Harris and Henry Geismer.
A squad of the Birmingham Rifles, of
which MIR. Field was member. will nt-
tend the services.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-08-15

dinance stands it will materially injure
their business. On the other hand Mayor
Ward. backed by a number Of prominent
citizens. contends that by shutting off the
games the social feature of saloons will
be eliminated He contends that it will
reduce the number of loafers, reduce the
number of arrests and prevent quarrels.
1t is probable that a resolution will be
introduced seeking to do away with sa-
looms, restaurants and negro dives on
Twenty-second street from the bridge to
Avenue B and on Avenue B from TWEEN
tieth street to Twenty street.
There has been protest against these
saloons and dives, it being claimed that
thousands of women and children have to
pass by these on the cars every day and
that the conditions there are filthy.
The ordinance will provide that no
licenses be issued for saloons or restau-
rants on that street and avenue after oc-
tober l. thus giving the present occupants
time to secure other locations. This will
also apply on Twenty-first street from the
bridge.

Ger went out to the yards and met the

RAILWAY TELEGRAPHERS.
Case of Brotherhood VS.. L. G. N. to Be
Heard Today.

The case of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Photographers against certain officials
of the Louisville and Nashville railroad
will come up for a hearing before United
States Commissioner Watts this morning.
1t promises to be an exceedingly inter-
esting case, as the telegraphers allege
that the trades union law has been vio-
lated by the Louisville and Nashville
railroad officials.
The action was brought by Lee A. Tan
quarry, an official OF the telegraphers,
who is In birmingham. Four officials of
the Louisville and Nashville, including
chief dispatchers and the assistant super
intendent, are summoned as defendants
in the case.
1t is alleged that discrimination was
shown by the chief operators in dis
charging certain telegraph operators on
the Louisville and Nashville because they
were members of the union.
