 Chief Deputy Sheriff w. E. LeGrande will leave today for Speigner, Ala, for the purpose of bringing back to this city William Cline. charged with the murder of John Ed. Phillips last De- cember, and convicted and sentenced to a term of twenty-five years by Judge Pelham in the Circuit Court in this place January 6. Cline's return Is the result of a decision by the Supreme Court of Alabama handed down last month. The killing. 1t will be remem- bered, took place a few miles south Of Oxford, on territory that was formerly a part of Cleburne County, but which by an act of the State Legislature had been added to Calhoun. The Supreme Court decided this act unconstitutional, and this in turn makes the trial Of Cline in Calhoun null and void. The cause of the Courts decis- ion, 1t is said. was that the act of the Legislature in cutting the territory in question from Cleburne reduced 1t be- low the limit of size required for Ala bama counties. Cline. on his return here, will be taken to Cleburne County. where he will be granted a new hear ing. His killig of Phillips, it will be recalled. grew out of the elopement of the son of the latter. Jim Phillips, with Ciine's daughter.
