OFFICERS INDICTED
TRUE BILLS AGAINST MARSHALL
AND REEVES.
Jefferson Grand Jury Charges Deputies
with Assault to Murder, Result
of Shooting ARRAY, Wounding
Y0ung Woman.

Birmingham, June S.-(SpectaL)-
James B. Marshall and William Reeves,
one a deputy sheriff at the time, ana
the other a deputy constable, VINO en-
gagged in a pistol duel in, q stairway
leading into an Office on Third Avenue
near Twentieth Street, during whicn
Miss Lucille Gayle, pretty young
stenographer, who was walking along
Third Avenue at the time was shot In
the limb and painfully injured. were
both indicted today by the grand jury.
They are charged with assault with
intent to murder and carrying con-
cealed weapons The wounding OF the
young lady was not mentioned In the
Indictment, the charge OF assault peihs
against one another.
A large number Of indictments were
returned by the inquisitorial body
which has been in session week. Po-
liceman william st. Clair was indict-
er on a charge of perjury. 1t Ii al
legged that he swore falsely IN q case
and in the police court. He arrested
some months since a young man named
Glen zuber on charge OF disorderIy
conduct, the> allegation being that ne
declined to move on when ordered TO
do so. Zuber stated that he was not
standing three feet from the curbing'
and the policeman swore he was. Inc
young man was fined in the police
court but took an appeal TO the crlh-
fnal court. The indictment was re-
turned after the investigation by rhs
grand jury.
The grand Jury is probing the pro-
miscuous sale of whlskey by drug
stores on Sunday. This fact became
known today when two druggists were
summoned before the inquisitors and
questioned concerning the dispensing
of liquor. The druggists carried a
large number of prescriptions with
them to show that they had authority
for the sale of whiskey, and It Is said
that the names of two or three physi-
clans were attached to most or the
prescriptions. The grand jury was IN
clined it Is said. to believe that the
physicians in question are writing en-
tirely too many such orders.
From all accounts, the inquisitors
cannot understand why two or three
physicians should be sought by all the
sick people In need of alcoholic slim
ulants on Sunday. They are OF the
opinion that the physicians whose
names appear to so many prescriptions
have not observed the letter of the law.
II is said that there is no way at the
present time to indict any one. but i
is understood that the pPmiscuous
sale of whiskey will be &reated at
length by the grand jury IN It's maj
report. which will be made when the
tnduisitors continue their work
