.HABEAS CORPUS
SAVES MURDERER
WRIT GRANTED AT ELEVENTH
HOUR
Alabama Legal Profession In a ousn-
Diary over Action Of Judge
Weaver-Sentimen Thor
oughIy Aroused
By Associated Press.

BY Associated F'ress.
BIRMING HAM, Ala, July 27.--Mem-
bers of~the legal profession of Jeffer-
son county are in a quandary today
over the most novel action in a criminal
case ever taken in the state.
Last night Judge Samuel L. Weaver
of the Ncriminal court granted a writ OF
habeas corpus in the case of John VIII
liams of Cullman Alabama, just twelve
hours before the time set fv- the exc.
cution of the prisoner for the murder
of State Senator r. L. Hipp. The writ
was made returnable today
The prisoner was convicted in the
circuit court of Cullman county and
the supreme court of Alabama affirmed
the sentence. Williams was brought
here for safe keeping.
Insanity Plea Secures Writ
The petition for the writ of habeas
corpus was made on an insanity plea
and the question which has been argued
by counsel all day in the criminal court
is whether a Jefferson county official
has jurisdiction and authority to issue
the writ.
The arguments before the court have
been continued until tomorrow. Mean
time the hour for the legal execution
has expired, and it was thought new
date for the hanging will have 20 be sci
in case of failure to sustain the insanity
plea. Governor jerks, however, came
to the rescue and granted the prisoner
respite until tomorrow.
He will grant respites from day tc
day until the question is settled. Sen
timent in this community and in NORTH
Alabama, where the crime was com.
mitted, has not been so thoroughly
aroused since the famous Hawes riot
of 1888.

CARSON CITY, New, July 27.-In-
surance Commissioner Sam Davis yes
terday served notice on the agents Of
the Traders, Firernan's Fund and Fire
and Marine Insurance companies that
the state will cancel all policies held
by them on state property and demand
a return of the premiums.
This action followed conference at
which it was decided by the state
board of capital commissioners to REIN
sure only in companies which are pay
ing dollar for dollar at San Francisco.
Insurance Commissioner Davis told
the board that in his opinion an in
surance company that avoids its re-
sponsibility for the San Francisco dis
aster does so either because it cannot
pay and is therefore insolvent, or will
not pay, and is therefore an undesirable
company in which to insure state
property.

CHURCH WILL BE uPRooTED
This Is Prediction of Dowie's Spokes-
man, Deacon John A.
Lewis
By Associated Press.

ZION CITY, ILL.,, July 27.-Deacon
John A. Lewis, recognized as the
spokesman of, DR.. Dowie and who was
chosen by him to manage the Paradise
plantation of Mexico the rock over
which 1t is alleged the Dowie and Vo-
liva partisans split, had the following to
say of the decision:
IF the decree of Judge Lands stands
the Christian Catholic Apostolic church
in Zion is uprooted. The church is
founded on the theory of theocracy,
and how can an election under the laws
of Cook county, ILL.,, proclaim who shall
be leader of the hosts?
"As far as property rights are con-
cerned, they make little difference to
us. The great question is that of spirit
ual control upon which the very founda-
tion of the church depends. I am sure
DR.. Dowie will never be satisfied with
the decision as rendered"
What Effect viii Be
The effect of the decision is to place
the Industrial affairs of Zion City in
the hands of the court through the
agency of Mr. Hately, while the
church's spiritual affairs will come un-
der the supervision of the oVerseer to
be elected in September.
Claims against Dowle are now claims
against the receiver.
Mr. Hately is member of the board
Of trade. a capitalist. and is active in
charitable and reform movements.
AS to the election Judge Lands as
sured the litigants that he took the re-
sponsibility for its fairness on his own
shoulders.
Dowie was not in court, illness con-
fining him to his hotel "A number of
members of the church who still cling
to him were present.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva and his faction
were numerously represented. Mr..
Nollya refused to discuss the decision.
Bowie himself said that inasmuch as
he had not had an opportunity to read
the whole decision he would not at this
time express an opinion.

Attempted Murder and Suicide Occurs

Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, July N.-W. A.
limerick, prominent in San Francisco
seriously injured early today in what
is described as an automobile accident
by those who are in a position to know.
He was removed to a hospital and
later taken to his home at 1245 oFarrell
street
His injuries are of a. dangerous char
acter and may prove fatal.
About the same time that limerick
was hurt, man attempted to shoot a
woman and then commit suicide as the
two were being whirled down Fell
street in large red touring car. This
affair took place shortly after 1870
O'Clock this morning, and it has been
shrouded in the greatest mystery. No
one will talk
At 1870 this morning as large car
was speeding down the boulevard at a
high rate of speed a pistol shot cracked
out.
Almost at the same instant a wo-
mans voice, quivering with the terror
of death, called: "Oh, my God, you have
killed me- l shall die Take me to a
priest before l die."
Men Seen Struggling
The extraordinary disturbance in the
quiet neighborhood attracted several
persons to the windows of the sur
rounding houses. Below them in the
light of the street lamp dimmed by the
fog they beheld two men struggling.
One wore the accouterments of a pro-
fessional chauffeur. The other had in
his hand pistol. from the muzzle of
which the smoke still trailed as it was
jerked back and forth by the men.
Suddenly the men staggered and then
assisted by the driver, returned to the
tonneau of the large red covered auto
mobile. BY his side as he fell into the
seat was the writing, moaning wo-
man. Within a few seconds the car
was flying up the street, and all efforts
to trace 1t failed
l. H. Frank, when seen at limerick s
home tonight, said:
Mr.. limerick took the owl yesterday
for Los Angeles. There has been no
accident that 1 know of, unless it oc-
SoiiSu tHSiS, anu nave aHOL nearu
Of it."
In addition to Franks telegram to H.
G. Newhall of Los Angeles, which gives
another version of the affair." it was de-
clared by others who reside in the
house that it was generally known
there that limerick had been seriously
injured in the early hours of the morn
ing and had been removed to a hospital
almost Immediately.
Denies He Is Injured
1t was impossible to lc-rn where he
was taken. All inquiries were met with
positive denials that he had been shot.
Who the woman in the case is has
not been disclosed. 1t is possible that
the wound she received may be more
serious than was judged by those who
saw her for a brief instant after the
affair, and 1t is also possible that the
man who caused her injury may have
to face serious charge.
One resident of the house at 1245
O'Farrell street late tonight declared
that limerick had been seriously in
jured by having his head crushed
under an automobile which overturned,
and the same person energetically de-
MED that the victim was In any way

KHARKOV, July 27-The staff CORE
spondent here of the Associated Press
finds that the revolutionists are actively
preparing for an armed uprising and a.
reproclamation of the republic of Khar-
kov in the autumn.
The French vice consul here has re-
ceived very disquieting news from the
French industrial establishments.
AT Yusovka, the principal smelling
center in the south of Russia, 10000
workmen have armed themselves and
have organized disciplined rifle le-
glon of 1000 members under former
army officers.
The Russian troops are useless in the
emergency, having fraternized with the
strikers almost continuously.
The workmen's demands amount
practically to confiscation of the plants.
