SISTER IDENTIFIES
 RED MOUNTAIN BODY
MRS. POOLE BELIEVES THAT THE CORPSE FOUND JUNE 24 IS THAT OF HER BROTHER, HOWARD PERRY.

After A series of misht identihcatlons as to the dead body found on Red Moun- tain, June 24 1t seems that Mrs N. A. Pool of 942i Twenty-sixth avenue, North Birmingham, put an end to speculation in this regard when she and her l5-year- old son. Louis Pool, visited Gaudins un- dertaking establishment yesterday with x oroner Paris and recognized the cloth ing which was worn by the dead man as those belonging to her brother, Hartford Perry, who has been missing since the 2Sth Of last April.
 Before Mrs Pool and her son saw the clothing they described them accurately. They told Coroner Paris just what kind of suspenders Hartford Perry wore, and declared that those at Gaudin's were the same Louis Pool said he had given them tc his uncle.
 No less certain was Mrs. Pool as to the razor blade found beside the dead man on Red Mountain. This she posi- lively asserts Is the one that had been at her house for a long time before her brothers disappearance. He had lived
 with her and her husband for most of the past year. Besides the matter of clothing which gives circumstance to her belief that the body Is that of her broth CT, Mrs Pool states that he had been very unhappy and dssipated since the death of his wife, several years ago, and
 that he had told her that he was going to kill himself and leave not shred of evidence by which he could be Identified. ] It will be recalled that when the body
 on Red Mountain was found there was 1 nothing in the pockets of the clothing J except copper cent, and there was eyl-
 dence on the inside of the coat collar that a label of some sort had been re- moved.
 Mrs. Pool also said that when she last saw her brother, Hartford Perry he told her that he was going to work In one
 of the mines on Red Mountain. Since | that time she had been i'll, she said, at St. Vlncents hospital
 | The body buried in the potter's field will oe dlsnterred July 21. when the cor oner's Jury will make examinations. As | decomposition when the body was iound | had already destroyed all possibility or | Identification, about the only hope now' | 1t Is said, is that measurements may re- veal further proof. Mrs. Pool said her | brather was about 3s years old. had dark ] hair, and was about feet, inches tall. t, His former home was in RossVilie, Ga'' | where he worked, but after ms Wile ceath he had given up his occupation and wandered from place to place With out employment, except, according to Mrs. | Pool statement, what she gave him. His habits had become so disslpated. she
 said. that finally he was sent to the Jel-
 ferson county aimshouse on the lst or
 April, where he stayed about three weeks.
 It was on the following Sunday that she
 met him last when he came to see hef' and told of his Intention to end his life.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bilou.

The Andres who are at the Bijou this week, are presenting an act which is prov ing very puzzling to the audience. The opportunity to get the future read, to have lost articles found and to have the mysteries of the unknown revealed, is proving a great drawing card at the Bijou and the audiences are large and enthusi- astic.
 special matinee will be given this af- ternoon, at which no men will be admit ted It will be for the women only. and a large number will probably avail them selves of the opportunity to be present and ask the questions they wish answered
 The black-face team, Haley and Nee han, is proving popular this week. The two teammates can dance well, sing well and furnish just enough comedy with their act to make 1t entertaining and funny They do not overdo the negro" part, and one of the team Is especially clever Miss Eleanor Henry has a good voice and her songs are received with much enthusiasm.
 There will be the usual performances each night and the special matinee tomor- row afternoon. as well as the regular matinee Saturday.

IMPORTANT CASE UP
 BEFORE JUDGE FEAGIN

fused to allow such testimony, however, unless the defendant could show that the sacks in question contained full weight when shipped, stating that the Birming- ham merchants who sell goods by weight are responsible, under the ordinance. if their weights are short. The court held that the defendant shipped out the goods from the Birmingham house, and the case was continued on that account at the request of the city solicitor until this afternoon at o'clock.
 Much complaint has been made recently to Inspector Hall by various citizens re- gardng not only short weights, but short measures as well and 1t seems that the case now being tried is but the be- ginning of a crusade by the authorities against all merchants, both wholesale and retail who are alleged to violate the city and state laws governing weights and measures. It Is claimed that if the present case is decided against the de- fendant, and the intimation of the court yesterday was that 1t would be, the effect 1t is said will be a far-reaching one, and that selling methods now in vogue will be revolutionized.
