their eyes carefully disguised. entered

tons and committed all sorts of den.
relations. They garrotted their vic
Tins. dragged them before a great fire
where they burned the soles of tbei,
teet, and demanded information as te
the whereabouts of their money and
Jewels. Hence they were called
"chauffeurs." name which frightened

HENRY COUNTY ROAD
 LAW IS DEFECTIVE
Judge Jones Makes Decision Which Is of Interest to Every County In
 the State.

Montgomery April 6.-(Special)-- Thom- as G. Jones, judge of the United States court for the Middle and Northern dis triets of Alabama, has held that the local road law of Henry county is uneonstitu- tional. in that it's notice of passage did not contain sufficient statement of what the bill contained. The plea of illegality was made by the defense in the case of the Goods Roads Machinery company vs. the County of Henry, now on trial in the court of the Middle district.
 This ruling of Judge Jones was in the early stages of the presentation of the case to the court by argument of the at- torneys, but at the same time he intmd- ted that the general road law of the state, approved in October 1903, was sufficient to involve the county in an obligation to meet any just debts that may be adjudged against them. This places the case back upon It's merits, through the failure of the law will be of interest to not only Henry but other counties with such provisions. l.. The suit is for machinery to the amount of $35O0 contracted for by the commissions CTS of Henry county, and the plea is made that they had not the right to make such contract as the law is not good. Frank White of Birmingham, appeared for the machinery company, and W. L. Martin and W. c. Oates of Montgomery for the county of Henry. It promises to be one of the most interesting suits ever tried here

MAN WANTS S25, ,00O AS
 DAMAGES FOR WHIPPING

Montgomery, April 6.-(Speeial.)-A jury of Escambia citizens. good and true failing to give Dewitt Lovelaee. in whose interest W. A. Loveace brought suit, damages against Henry Miller and R. T. Miller of the town of Brewton the attorneys of the first named have brought the contention to the supreme court insisting that for the offense of whipping the said Dewitt Lovelace the aforesaid N1llers ought to and should be made to pay him the sum of $25,000 in damages. The lower court said no. or rather that was the saying of the jury, and the judge made record of such agree ment of the twelve men so concluding.
 It is charged in the complaint of MT. Lovelace that the Millers induced him to come down out of the rooms of the tele- phone exchange in the town of Brewton and in the streets of said town knocked him down and whipped him with buggy whip, "to his great bodily and mental suffering" and otherwise maltreating and insulting plaintiff to his great bodily suffering and mental pain, shame and disgrace"
 R. T. Miller makes defense in the al- legation that the said I4ovelace insulted his daughter and that the assault was not made with malice or as result of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-04-07

reconciliation, but because of great pas sion aroused by the action of the plain tiff in the words spoken to his daughter over the telephone. He charged that while acting as central in the local exchange he called up his daughter and made re- marks that were ungentlemanly and that he was so angry he could not restrain himself from infeting such punishment as was inflicted upon the plaintiff. There fore, he entered a plea of not guilty of any act that was liable for damages in punishing the young man. Henry Miller contented himself with a plea of not guilty, without assigning reason.
 The jury having decided that the plain tiff had no right to recover any sum- let alone so much as one quarter of a century of "plunks.' the court ordered and adjudged that the said w. A. Love lace, acting for Dewitt Lovelace, was liable for the costs and the clerk was to proceed to collect the same from him. Not agreeing with the position of the jury MT. Lovelace and his attorneys de- cided to. bring the case to the highest court of the state with view Of aseer- taining whether or not those twelve men, good and true,' knew what they were doing. The case will be submitted to the , court when the call of the divisions in- cludes EScamDia county

 Jones Now Rests.
 "G am having nothing to say" said Judge Jones today. "I have done what thought to be the right thing in get ting the information as to conditions to the lawmakers and having done that 1 rest knowing that what 1 can do l will and that it is my wish 10 have the courts of all the territory in session as long as 1t is possible for me to hold them with my own efforts and the help that can be secured.
 That is the best I can do.' concluded the judge as he moved out of his own office to that of the general courtroom, where the writer found him busy over brief in the case of the Good Roads Ma chinery company Vs. the county of Henry.
 Several local lawyers have intimated that the matter will be taken up al the meeting of the State Bar association in a few weeks and an effort made to lay plans so well that an additional judge will be allowed by the next Congress, which is the relief that organization has asked all along There Is no feeling Of anger al Birmingham or the Birming- ham bar | is recognized that the condi- tions there are very trying to the lawyers and the litigants and all can understand how they desire to get as much in the way of help as can be had, but the con tenton here is that there Is more work in the whole territory than the judges can take care of, and 1t will be ineonvenient
