Contest for Possession of Child Still
Arouses Interest.


Clanton July S.-(Special. 1.-The outlook
for crops in this county is fine. The
old-timers say they have never seen finer
prospects for the season of the year. An
abundance of rain has been falling, at
intervals, for the past week, and the
farmers are fearing the crops will be
injured.
Clanton is steadily growing a number
of handsome residences are being con-
structed and a number of business en-
terprlses are well under way. An electric
light plant has been installed and will
soon be ready for operation. The people
are devoting their time to business affairs
and very little attention is given to pol
itics.
The pathetic, yet interesting skirmish
between DR.. T. NJ. Barnett, the prominent
physician of Verbena and his wife, Mrs.
Jessie Barnett, for the custody of their
infant son, William Forbes Barnett, is
still attracting attention. DR.. and Mrs.
Barnett agreed to separation some
months ago, it being understood that
the older of the two children should re-
main with its father. while Mrs. Barnett
should have the custody of the younger
one. Last week Dr. Barnett went to
Montgomery where Mrs. Barnett resides,
and while she was absent, went to her
boarding house, took the child and dis
appeared with him. Since that time Mrs.
Barnett, following the advice of her
counsel in Montgomery and this place,
has lost no time in her efforts to re-
gain possession of her child. Her attor
neys obtained an order from Chancellor
Whlteside, directing DIR. Barnett to de-
liver the child to her, and this morning
Mrs. Barnett, accompanied by her at
torney, j. Osmond Middleton and Sheriff
Morgan went down to. Verbena and Sc
cured the child. Mrs. Barnett let's moth
ing deter her in her efforts to keep her
child and the earnest fight she Is making
is creating great sympathy for her. Mrs.
Barnett Is originally from Toronto, Can.

active trust of the kind alleged by the
complainant and that the relations of
Rogers to the trust were of such a char
acter as to afford an opportunity of Sc
curing the gains and profits alleged by
the bill, provided the New England gas
and coke companies or the men interested
in it were willing to assist to an ar
rangement of which the gains and profits
could be derived.
Mr.. Rogers contended that his control
of the Brookline Gas company gave him
command of the gas situation, and a
strategic position of value, but the court
finds that as a trustee of the other COM
panies he had no right to take advantage
of such a position to the disadvantage
of the Boston companies.
While the court reserves the right to
view its findings after the master sub
mits his reports, it expresses the opinion
that the amounts received by the respond
ent, Rogers, for his Brookline securities,
was In excess of any value which was Wis
ible to the court. But the facts disclosed
by the records cannot in any event en-
title the complainant to recover gains
and profits such entire excess, but only
its equitable proportion thereof. The court
holds that there Is no basis for the allie
cation that Rogers sought to secure the
management of the Boston company in
order to secure large compensation and
profit for himself
