TREATMENT WAS UNJUST


 Selma. July (Special.)- cor oner's jury which was impanelled on the morning of July 1 to investigate the cause of the death of Ralph Lilien- thai. held it's final session this after noon and after hearing the report or State Chemist Ross on the contents of Lilienthals stomach, rendered the fol- lowing verdict We the jury, impan- elled by Coroner Iudson Brslin to in- vestigate the death of Ralph Lilien- thai, having been, as required by law duly sworn and having viewed the re- mains of the deceased hereby render our verdict as follows:
 The said Ralph Lilienthal was found in an unconscious condition by an ofh- cer of the police force of the city of Selma on the night of June 30 1907, and was by said officer carried to po- lice headquarters and lodged in the city prison, remaining without medical assistance from II D. m. until about 6 a. m, death ensuing about two hours later after his removal to his home, corner of Church and Dallas streets. From the evidence presented including a report on the chemical analysis or the contents of the stomach of the de- ceased, 1t is the opinion of the jury that the deceased came to his death from natural causes either a cerebral hemorrhage or the effects of acute Brights disease It is the further opin- ion of the jury that while rom the evi- dence it appears most probable that securing of medical attention would not have insured the recovery of tie deceased, we deem his incarceration in the city prison like a common criminal and the manifest indifference to his actual condition by those charged with the care of these unfortunate criminal class, subject to most vigorous censure

 Plans for Encampment.
 Colonel Bricken, commanding officer of the Second Alabama infantry, reach ed the city last night and this morn ing assisted by his staff, began laying off the camp at Elkdale. The Second regiment will reach Selma next Mon day and will be in camp through the i following Monday. Two carloads of tents and camp equipment came over i from the headquarters n Montgomery last night and were carried out to the site of the camp grounds by trolley car. Selma boasts the most ideal camr ] location in the state, the best evidence | of which Is the fact that the members 1 of the Second regiment after campil%s | here last year were all eager to come again.
 If the plans proposed by the board of directors of the Commercial and h. i dustrial association are carried out and they generally are. the visiting meD bers of the Alabama Press association who will be in Selma on Saturday | morning will receive royal treatmerE at the hands of the people.
 | The directors met yesterday after noon and all arrangements were made for the entertainment of the visitors l It Is proposed to request all the auto mobile owners to assemble with their machines at the head of the wharf on Water street at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. There are over twenty ma l chimes In Selma and to those owners whose names could De recalled Is be
 ing sent out letters today asking thai l they assist in the entertainment. Thei services will be required for only about an hour or an hour and a half, as il l is expected that the guests after leaY- 1 ing the hotel will prefer to walk doWr to the boat. It Is desired also that a, many citizens as have private carriages 1 will also assemble at the same place 1 in case there are not enough automo- piles to transport the entire party.
 After the visitors are carried over | the city they will assemble at the Ia)- tel Albert, where a reception will be | rendered, light refresh hments being served, an address of welcome being made on behalf of the city by President of the Council and Acting Mayor Clay | and on behalf of the local press by l R.
