 HugEfns Case Today. Before United States Commissioners L D. Lloyd, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing, will come up for trial the cases for robbing the United States mail against W. N. Huggins, the former negro night clerk in the postoffice. and those against Emile Blevins, the little negro boy, who last Sunday night was caught going into the lock boxes at the postofiice.
 As the boy, Blevins, has confessed, he will probably be sent to the County jaiI to await the action of the next Uni ted States grand jury, which will con vene here the first Monday in April.
 In the mindsof the public there seems to be some doubt as to the guilt of Huggins. The boy, Blevins, says Hug gins gave him the bunch of postohice keys Sunday night to go to the post office and get the mail out of the boxes.
