BLACKS GO TO JAIL
FOUR ACCUSED OF HIGHWAY ROB-
 BERY AT MI:EHEI'S.
Recorder Baber Fixes Bonds Of Nc- srOcs Who Had Sunday Fight
 With Others at S1,2OO

The four negroes Henderson James. Otis Parker. Cooley Baker and Joe Jackson. who were arrested by police officers Sunday charged with holding up a train of returning negro laborers from the recent washouts on the Lou isville and Nashville Railroad track along the Gulf coast, being apprchend- ed within few hours of their alleged Court by Recorder Baber yesterday af- ternoon.
 Their bonds were fixed at $500 each for each of the four cases filed against them, making total bond required of each of the four negroes of $1.20O. None of them was able to furnish bond.
 Six witnesses were sworn on behalf of the prosecution. their testimony be- ing practically the same-that they had been held up at the point of revolv- CTS and relieved of all their money. guns, and surplus clothes. The six men were positive in their identifica- tion of the four acused men, although the personel of the members of the at ly different.
 of the accused men had been concern ed in the robbery of himself, although the others were all in the car where the crime was committed at McGehee's SWttcn. sometimes one anQ sometimes another held the revolver that enforce ed submission, according to the evil dence. but in the four cases upon which complaints were brought. there was not one in which the complaining 2 witnesses did not directly connect. by his testimony, each of the four accused negroes.
 The witnesses for the prosecution were the four men who had been rob- bed, one who was held up, like the rest, but from whom they failed to secure anything to pay them for their trouble and one who had been held up by members of the gang. but not by those who were apprehended.
 The defendants, each in turn, took the witness stand to tell the court that they knew nothing of the occurrence. Most of them had heard the shots fired and one or two had seen the negroes who, they said, did the road agent act, returning from the field of battle with their plunder. One of the arrested men did not even know of the trouble. so he claimed. until after his arrival in Montgomery.
 Recorder Baber showed no hesftancy in binding the quartette over to the City Court, the prosecution having shown, as he said. probable cause to believe them guilty of the offense as charged, which is all that Is necessary in a preliminary trial
 Cooley Baker, one of the alleged road agents was also tried for car rying a concealed weapon, huge pair of knuckles. which Patrolman Payne secured from him at the time of his arrest for highway robbery. He was fined $50 and costs for the offense.
