CAPTAIN SEXTON RETURNS.
Is Working to Close Affairs of Insur-
 amce Companies.


 ance Companies.
 Capt. A. c. Sexton. Deputy Insur- ance Commissioner of Alabama. was at his desk yesterday, after a brief trip to Atlanta in connection with the insolvency of Atlanta Birmingham Fire Insurance Company, and the Pru- dential Fire Insurance Company of West Virginia. of which Captain Sexton and J. T. Dorgan of Atlanta are core ceivers He expects to go to Atlanta again for a conference with some of the interested parties Thursday.
 Speaking of the >insolvent companies Captain Sexton said yesterdayNoat ev- cry effort was being made to close the affairs of the two companies as soon as possible in order that the people with just claims against the compa- nies may receive as large a payment as possible, and that the funds may not be eaten up with heavy receiver ship expenses. The affairs of the com panies are being conducted as econom- ically as possible.
 There are, he says. about $600.000 Of losses claimed as a result of the San Francisco disaster of last April. Many of these claims were just, In his opinion, but he thought that others making claims had nothing to stand on when the matter got into the courts.
 "If building was shaken down and destroyed by the earthquake" he said, "and was not reached by the flames, until perhaps five or six hours later, there is a grave question if the de- struction of that building can be held as a liability of the fire insurance com pany And that is the condition of a number of claims in the Pacific me- tropolis against the two companies"

ard Austin. q Negro.
 One of the last acts of executive elemency of William D. Jelks as Gov ernor of the State of Alabama was the communication yesterday, upon the re- commenda tioh of the trial judge. the solicitor who prosecuted the case, and of eleven out of the twelve jurors that tried the case, of the sentence of Howard Austin, a negro. Austin kill ed Jeff Glover in Clarke County dur ing 1905, and when arrested claimed that the shooting was accidental.
 This was corroborated by a number of witnesses to the crime, but the mother of the man who was killed, swore at the trial that he had pointed the gun at Glover, and that the kill ing was deliberate. This testimony seemed to have been taken by the pury upon the trial of the case, which rend- cred a verdict of guilty. She is said to have made conflicting statements since the trial.
 Judge John T. Lackland of the first circuit gave Austin sentence of five years for the crime, but joined in the petitions for the pardon of the man or a communication of his sentence. Aus tin began serving his sentence April 20, 1906, but has been confined alto gether, before the trial of the case and pending appeal to the Supreme Court.
 
 The communication was to a sentence of one year from the date of the begin ming of his sentence. NY-,
 Tn committing the sentence, Governor Jelks made the following memorandum upon the order of computations:
 "The killing was either an accident, or else 1t was homicide of a graver nature than manslaughter. The jury was evidently in doubt if 1t was an ac- cident. The preponderatlng testimony favored the accident theory, papers in the case explain. But particularly be- cause eleven members of the jury think him sufficiently punished; that the solicitor and the judge take like view. and further because these are joined in a petition signed by hundreds of the best people in the community and the county, I have thought elem ency proper. The Board of Pardons recommends communication of the sent ence to a term which shall expire in one year from the date the sentence began.
 Tt is ordered that the said Howard Austin's sentence shall be commuted to a term of one year or until April 20 1907" "
