MORRISON GIVEN HEARING.
Is Put Under $500 Bond On Charge of
 Illicit DistiIIing.

hearing was given "Lil" Morrison yesterday afternoon by United States Commissioner Watts. which resulted in Morrison being bound over to the grand jury under $500 bond. which he made. The charge against him was for illicit distillng. which it is claimed he was guilty of doing some time ago.
 Morrison has had the United States officers after him for some time. but always managed to elude them. He is a brother of Mrs. Edith Allen, who last week. in self-defense, killed James H. Clonts who boarded with her. She was held at the county jail for a day or two and Morrison went there to see her the day after the shooting. Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien Brown recognized him and telephoned to the office of United States Marshal Long and was told he was wanted by Uncle Sams officers. In the meantime Morrison had stepped to the telephone. and while he was talking Deputy Brown locked the door until the United States officers ar, rived with q warrant. His case will come up next month.

EVIDENCE HEARD
 IN MILLER TRIAL
DEFENSE WILL PROBABLY FINISH WITH TESTIMONY THIS MORN. iNG-DEFENDANT IS CHARGED WITH KILLING F. w. RAINBOW.

The trial of Clarence S. Miller, charged with the murder of Fred W. Rainbow in the Senate saloon on Twentieth street, between First and Second avenues, last July, was begun yesterday afternoon be- fore Judge Samuel l.. Weaver in the first division of the criminal court. On account of the delay in the organiza ton of a jury it was not possible to get into the case before the afternoon session of the court at o'clock.
 Yesterday afternoon the state got in most of it's evidence. The testimony in- ;roduced is approximately the same as that given in the preliminary hearing. It seems that Miller labored under tho impression that he was insulted in the saloon of the deceased by one of the negro bartenders, and after some words with Mir Rainbow about the matter it is charged that he cut him four times in the abdomen with pocket knife. The testl. mony of all of the state witnesses tends to show this.
 The case will be resumed at 9:30 o'clock this morning. and all of the evidence will probably be in by noon Col. John M. Caldwell and Attorney Bernard L.. Chappell are defending Miller and So- licitor II. P. Hehin and Assistant Solici- tor J. B. Aird are prosecuting.

Cunningham, brother member. that respect due to one whose character was so strong and whose life was so pure, and who we miss as a councillor, Resolved.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
pr. Grigg's Lectures.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 It is seldom that the public has the literary and soul feast that pr. Grigg' s lectures give. Apart from his perfect mastery of his subject his deep erudition, his fiuency of expression, his hearers are awakened to a wonderful soul-life that breathes and shines afar through every word that falls upon the ear. It is evl- dent that he has based his life in the only perfect way-communion with the Master-this, the most trifling listener will observe. His countenance radiates the loftiness of his spirituality. The sordid- ness, the greed and gain of this world have no part of his being.
 Out of the philosophy, the morality and religion of his themes, he leads one on and up to the only true source of useful ness to mankind-personal service and self-sacrifice.
 In this commercial age it is refreshing to see a professional man so oolisicus to materialism and sef-gain. His lec- lures are as soul-satisfying as the best sermons, and those who miss thom lose moments of intercourse with the spirit 5 highest the eternal life.

Chisolm using an assumed name when speeulat- ing. Both men are under bond of s25.- 000 and the trials will undoubtedly be two of the most bitterly contested cases ever tried in Birmingham, both men denying emphatcally the charges.

$ HeaYt Is RemObed
 M Presence Of His Wife

In obedience to dying request the body of George J. Feindel. who died in Biloxi, Miss. last Sunday afternoon was brought to Birmingham and the heart removed therefrom for examina- tion. The organ weighs over seven pounds when it's normal weight should be about sixteen ounces.
 The story connected with the pecu- liar request is interesting. Feindel lived in Birmingham for quite a num- Der of years and resided in this city until a few months ago. For a great many years he had been greatly incon- venieneed by some heart trouble. a mystery to the physician who treated him. It seems that about a month ago Feindel despalred, gave up the fight. and signifed his belief that his death was not far off.
 One of his last requests while in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-14

Biloxi was that his body be sent to Birmingham and an autopsy held. The deceased man stated before he died that he believed there was something peculiar about his heart, and requested that it be removed, as 1t might prove a revelation to the medical profess sion. and a benefit to humanity.
 Accordingly the body was brought back to Birmingham and the organ re- moved. The surgeons who held the autopsy were astounded to find that the heart of the deceased was greatly en- larged. and weighed over seven pounds. Mrs. Feindel, who willingly consented to the autopsy, was present to view the heart of her husband.
 The heart removed from Feindel's body will be preserved in alcohol, and presented at the next meeting of the Jefferson County Medical society for examination and discussion.

TRANSFERS MUST
 NOT BE EXCHANGED
Several Persons Have Already Been Fined for Improper Use of Street
 Railway Transfers.

IL appears that the unlawful use of transfers is not altogether harmless, for the trolley company is picking up wrong doers from time to time and carrying them before Judge Feagin. Fines of $l each have already been imposed on J. NJ. Barnett, II. J. Salters, Doc Satterfeld, and Fritz Zwohler, and doubtless many more persons will be fined. ''We are de- termined," said Chief Clerk Patton, "to put an end to the illegal and unjust use of transfers. The company issues them freely, but it expects the receiver of a transfer to use it himself. The present practice of handing tranfers to other peo- pie may yet lead to some sensational arrests, for the trolley company is aen deavorng to put an end to the transfer Of transfers"

 Today the commission considers am other important matter. The petition Of the Farmers union relative to a cheaper rate on compressed cotton will be taKen up.

Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien c. Brown and Deputy Sheriff l.. R. Dean have taken general tour Of Ensley, Pratt City and Wylam, that will result in the issuance of nearly 60 warrants for the violation of the laws that govern the sale of intoxicants and the operation of slot machines. The officers visited a number of places where beer and other beverages were illegally sold and se- cured samples of the liquors as evidence against the offenders. They also played about 20-odd slot machines which were being operated defiant of the law. The issuance of warrants for the arrest of the violators of the law will follow.

RUNAWAY SCATTERs TRAFFIC.
Animal Dashes Down Twenty-first
 Street and Crosses the Bridue.

A coal black horse hitched to a buggy containing two men stirred up things on Twenty-frst street yesterday after noon, when it developed a brainstorm and made mad dash for several blocks down that thoroughfare The horse was being driven along Twenty-frst street to- wards town when the runaway spirit attacked 1t just as Fourth avenue was passed.
 Traffic was rather heavy at the time and the way vehicles and pedestrians scattered to give the flying quadruped all the room he wanted was inspiring. A negro driver perehed high upon the top of a huge load of hay and sacked grain gave yell, jumped from hs perch ana went sprawlng on the brick pavement He was assisted 10 his feet and climbed back upon his dray, and did not appear to be much hurt. Several other people sprang out of buggles and traps. while even an automobilem ade haste to get out of the way
 Third. Second and First avenues were passed m QUICK SuccesSOn, ana when last seen the buggy was being bounced about like a ball as 1t travelled across Twenty-frst street bridge, although the driver appeared to be getting the horse under control
 Christi's automobile record of mile made in 51 3-5 second here during the fair was tame, compared to the record made by this runaway horse, and Twenty-first street held up to it's record of being the runaway street of the town. During the last two weeks quite a number of bad accidents have been narrowly avoided by some animal suddenly receiving an in- spiration to get somewhere in a hurry, regardless of who was in the path.
