TWO MURDER CASES
ONE NEGRO GIVEN LIFE; THE
 OTHER TEN WEARS.
Abraham Springs Convicted e kili- ing Will Fitzpatrick, After Plead ing Self Defense, While MOn- key Johnson Admits Killing
 Wife.

A jury early last night decided that Abraham Springs, a. negro, shall serve ten years in the penitentiary for slay- ing Will Fitzpatrick, also a negro. The jury returned verdict in the crimi- nal division of the city court finding the negro guilty of murder in the sec ond degree.
 Springs slew Fitzpatrick on June 29. in front of Bargainer's store at Sledge's south of Montgomery. The testimony of number of witnesses wa adduced, the State contending through out that the killing was deliberate and cold blooded.
 The chief witness for the prosecu- tion was w. c. Frizzle, well-known citizen of that section of the county. who testified that the dead negro had no weapon in his hand when Springs reached around Mir. Frfzzle and fired the fatal revolver shot that took ef- feet in Fitzpatrick's abdomen.
 A number of negro witnesses were introduced by the defense to prove that Springs acted in self defense and that inc dead man was advancing on Springs with knife when he was kill ed. Some of the witnesses said the knife. was open; others said It "aS closed.
 The trial of Springs began at Il o'clock yesterday morning and the case reached the jury at o'clock last night. The jury deliberated little more than an hour before, reaching verdict The jury was composed of A. Palmer. Earl c. Paulk, W. A. Henderson. M. S. Nordan. w. T. Pitts. D. A. Castleberry. J. P. Madigan. J B. Allen, J. s. Dow dell, F McLain, Harry ]. Pettus and G. G.. Guy.
 Monkey Johnson. alias Gus Jordan. whose crime in many respects was similar to that of David Beeman. whose death sentence was recently commuted by the governor, pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree ana was given 8 life sentence.
 Johnson murdered his wife. Anna Jordan, about five years ago in the southern part of this county. Like Beeman, he was prompted by jealousy, when, after being separated from his wife for some time, he found her in another's home and declared that she must die. A shot from pistol ended the woman's life.
 After he had slain his wife, Johnson escaped and was at large until he was captured a short time ago.
 The case against Alec Urquhart, a negro charged with rape, was contin- ued to the October term.
 The cases set for trial today are: Cooley Baker, Otie Parker and Joe Jackson, robbery, four cases; Moss Har- kison, murder; Charlie Cook, murder.

ATTACK AT SUNRISE
FIERCE FIGHTING NEAR NCAsA
 BLANCA.
After the Engagement Began, Steady vOlleys From the French nnd spanish Cleared the Beach
 of the Enemy.

Casa B1anch, Sunday, Aug. 1S.-An alarm was founded at sunrise when galloping groups of Moors were op- served on General Drude's western flank French sharpshooters and llght cavalry were immediately sent to the Spahis. At o'clock the engagement began after which steady volleys from the French and the Spanish. supported bv the guns of the cruiser Gloire soon cleared the beach of the enemy. Tn inc meantime the French artillery had been exploding shrapnell shells among bodies of horsemen further south. TO- wards Ii o'clock the Moors broKo anu scattered In all directions anu e'eh'u ally disappeared.
 2t General Drude's headquarters, the attack was regarded as reconnais- sance as the main body or the nostile tribesmen remained concealed oenlno ridge. From the terrace Of the tTench consulate. red dolmans' worn by the regular Moroccan troops were dlstihct- Iv discernable among the Moorlsh horsemen. It was considered uncer- tain. however, whether they were reg ,,Isrs ar deserters who had retained their uniforms.
 From the military point of view, the enlargement was a small atfalr put nevertheless 1t was an exhibition or snlandid individual bravery. Bodies or horsemen charged repeatedly In the face of magazine rifles and Maxim ar tillerv fire. One of the striking pie tures of the fight was an old Arab. annarently a Caid, who was mounted on a hlack horse and carried an all rcd flag. He headed long line of | horsemen in fierce down hlli chaFge' When the horsemen, halted by the whitening fire, turned and gailoped hack. this old man stopped, lookeo quietly at the French position ana then with the utmost sang froid he SLOWLY and coolly retired.

A HOME FOR
 JUVENILES Plea Made for Young Criminals. REVENUE BOARD MAY ACT Matter Was Referred to County's Legal Advisers. Judge of Mobiles City Court Asks for Raise fin Salary, and Board
 May Grant His
 Request.

Mobile, Aug. 1s.-At the meeting of the Board of Revenue and Road Com missioners today, U. B. Waterman, representing certain clients, petitioned the Board for an appropriation of $2 250tfor a home in Mobile for juvenile criminals. It Is intended that this home shall be between the city on one side. and the State reformatory on the other.
 Mir. Waterman and his friends asked the county to rent the old Pettus place on Spring Hill Avenue, as a house, of detention. It is stated that it will take $450 a year for the house. $l25 Q month for running expenses and $500 for furnishing. making total cost of S2250.
 The matter was referred to the coun- tvs legal advisers for report the lat ter part of this week. 1t seems to be the duty of the county 10 provide for juvenile criminals. but 1t is not clearly stated fin what way they shall be pro vided for. It is believed the Commis- isioners will take up the matter, if they can do so legally.
 There is said not to be any such in- stitution as this proposed, anywhere in the South. This Is to be a place where juvenile criminals who have not been reformed by the city, can be taken in charge by the county, and then la ter, if necessary. turned over to the State reformatory until they are o1 legal age.

Wants Salary Raised.

Judge o. J. Semmes of the City Court petitioned the Board to increase his salary to as high figure as any other judge in the county. He sets forth in his petition that he has been on the bench for many years and has used his best judgment to save the county as much expense as justice would permit. He had not gone to the Legislature for a raise because he felt sure that this Board would deal by him squarely and fairly. The petition was referred to the Finance Committee.
 Capt. John Craft appeared before the Board and asked that the county make certain repairs on his property, the necessity for which. he claims the county is responsible. Immediate ac- tion one way or the other was promised Captain Craft.
 A petition came from Precinct IS to have the read worked between Mobile and Grand Bay, and this was promised this week. The Board appropriated $50 to build a bridge on the road be- tween Bayou la Batre and St. Elmo. Work was ordered on the road leading of from Emile apost to the automo- bile road, near Kushla; also on Mon Louis Island road, near Heron Bay .
