SUIT ENTERED TO DUST
ALDERMAN D'ALE1NBERTE
LAWRENCE N. Erwin
EXPIRES OF INJURIES

from which city he went to Milton and
entered the employ OF the telephone
company. He is a Russian, and was
known about the waterfront as Rus
sian Charley" for many years. He re-
sided here for a period of seven or
eight years and had number u
friends in this city. He had the repu.
tatiOn of being very peaceable and
law-abiding man, is snngle, sober and
Industrious.
Cause of Trouble.
The trouble between Erwin and Sud
nall, who were friends and boarded
at the same boarding house, started
at the supper table one night last
week. The two were joking one all
other, there being a number of others
present, and Erwin took Offense at
some remark made by Sudnall, and
announced that he had been insultcd.
After supper Sudnall went to the
telephone office, which is in a two
story building. Erwin, whose office, Is
In the same building, also went there,
and the two met and engaged in neat
ed words. 1t is stated that Erwin drew
a knife and cut Sudnall twice, infiict-
ing very painful wounds. Statements
as to how Erwin fell from the balcony
and received his injury differ so far
as can be learned in this city. Some
state that he was struck and knocked
over the balustrade, others that he
was picked up and bodily thrown
over and still others that Ne stumbled
and fell in the scrimmage and rolled
from the balcony.
At any rate he was picked ~ III an
unconscious condition, but the follow
ing day it was thought he was better
and in no danger. Later, however, he
Srew worse and his mind began to
wander, showing that the injury to his
head, which afterwards proved to be
fracture of the skull, was more Sc
riOus than at first thought. His
brother, who resides in Tallahassee,
heard of his condition and went to
Nation, reaching there last Saturday
night, and after being with his
brother for a few days decided to
bring him to Pensacola for treatment.
The home of the deceased is in
South Carolina and be is connected
with an excellent family there. He
had been resident of Florida for
about six months locating at Milton
and engaging in the practice of law.

permission for the name of the state
to be used and the Judge of the court
Of the district, to whom the petition
was submitted, ordered that the writ

The allegations set forth are that
Mr.. DAlemberte was not qualified
voter Of precinct No. IL when he was
elected to the city council from that
precinct; that he was not then or now
a resident of the said precinct but OF
precinct No. IA. where he has been

prove an interesting inc. Some weeks
ago Mr.. D'Alemberte received a letter
from residents Of precinct No. II re-
questing his resignation and stating
that IL he did not do so that the case
would be taken TO the courts, which
has now been done.
Mr.. D'Alemberte at that time replied
to the gentlemen, or rather TO J. NJ
Andrews, whose name was attached to
the letter, stating that II the city at
torney stated that he was Illegally
holding office that he would immedi-.
ately resign the position. He asked
the written opinion Of City Attorney
Jnes. stating TO him that he had not
moved permanently from precinct No
IL. but only temporarily, and that he
had purchased property upon which to
build a residence in said precinct. The
city attorneys opinion was to the et-
feet that he was legally holding of
fee.
Nothing further was heard Of the
matter until yesterday when the pro-
ceedings was filed in the circuit court,
and its termination will be watched
with interest.

little hope for the recovery of Erwin,

proved too late to save the life of the
