Manager Hickey Wants People of the City to
 Inspect Hotel.

At last.
 The New Exchange will open today Yes, it's a certainty this time. For the first time the clang of the call bell will he heard and for the first time the cry of Front" will resound through the big lobby For the first time in the office will be heard the old famil- far direction, Take this gentleman's baggage up to number so and so." For the first time the big passenger eleva- tors will shoot up and down the big seven story building.
 Manager J. E. Hickey has fixed the opening hour at II o'clock. He would like to have all the people who can do so to come in during the day, after that hour and look over the beautiful building.
 There will be no formal exercises attendant upon the opening. because of the recent destruction of the kitchen annex by fire. Because of this parts of the building are yet incomplete. To- day, however, rooms in the fourth. fifth, sixth and seventh stories will be ready for travellers. The furniture was put in yesterday, handsome and costly furniture, every bit of it. Ev- cry room, every bit of furniture in it is brand new And every room is cool. restful and inviting. On the lower floors the furniture is not yet set In it's place It is all there, however, waiting to be placed and large force of help Is busily engaged in putting it right. This will probably be finished Monday night.

At II o'clock she will walk up and write her name on the big register. Miss Gassenheimer, eighteen months ago, had the honor of laying the first brick of Montgomery's already famous hotel.

Samuel W. Cook. the young white man of Calhoun County, convicted of forgery fin Etowah County. will not be pardoned. The Board of Pardons yes terday set it's face against clemency for the young man.
 A strong fight was made for his pardon His younA wife and sister came to Montgomery to plead with the board Letters and petitions were brought from court officials and citi- zens of Gadsden. where hc was con victed, Anniston and Jacksonville. These were given due and thoughtful |consideration by the board. but Crook was only convicted last fall in the Gadsden City Court There seemed to Do no doubt of guilt. He was given a six years sentence.
 Secretary of State E. R. McDavid, Auditor J. NJ. Carmichael, Attorney General Massey Wilson, who compose the board of pardons. after consider ing the case came to the conclusion that it was not one which called for executive clemency.
 A report to this effect has been made to the Governor. The Governor may of course order the pardon. but 1t Is regarded as extremely unlikely thts he will do so.
 Special interest attached to this case because of the work of the young wife and sister of the prisoner and be- cause of his fine family connection

SENT UP FOR LIFE
BEN PRATT GETS A HEAVY PEN-
 ALTY IN CITY COURT.
He Killed Dock ThOmas and Walked to MItyIfne to Do the Decd
 --Other Murder
 Cnaea

Guilty of murder and sentenced to life Imprisonment in tho penitentiary was the verdict by the jury in the trial of Ben Pratt. the negro who last October shot and killed Dock Thomas, another negro, near Mitylene, in Mont plea of self defense which the counsel for Pratt introduced, the jury consid- cred the provocation insufficient to ex- cuse the murder, although the circum- stances in the evidence evidently were regarded as extenuating. and they saved the murderer from the gallows.
 When the case was called in the criminal division of the City Court yes- terday morning the room was filled with persons of both the black and the white race. After some slight diff ficulty in the selection of a jury the following twelve men were finally se- lected, to pass upon the evidence which was later to convict the prisoner to life servitude: T. G. Young. George Lenzer, w. J. Proctor. J. W. Stricklin. c. B. Smile, William V. Burke, T. Jud- kins Powell, T. J. Toole, w. E. Gay. J. D. Davis, J. c. Johnson and B. c. Bat tie.
 In the trial Pratt admitted that he had killed the dead man, but claimed self-defence. There had been trouble over Pratt's wife, 1t appeared from the evidence. TO onset the plea or SCH . defense, however, it was brought out that Pratt had walked the entire dis tance from Montgomery to the place of the killing to meet Thomas, and this, with the other evidence intro duced, was considered sufficient proof of the intent to kill. The verdict Of the jury was returned after two hours of deliberation.
 The trials of Tom Malloy, Rass Barnes and Andrew Chamber charged with the murder of Ananias Ellisaw, was continued until the next term of court on motion of the State.
 A technical flaw in the wording of the charge was the cause of the con- tinuance of the trial of Willie Ellis, a negro, charged with the murder of Sam Fennerson. until after the meeting of the next grand jury. It appeared that the indictment charged Ellis with hay ing murdered Sam Fannerson. the diff ference in the spelling of the dead mans name accounting for the post ponc nent. The case was dismissed un- til the next grand jury, which was in- structed to find an indictment similar to the former charge. the prisoner be- ing held under $500 bail.
