ANDERSON ON TRIAL
SELMA POLICEMAN WHO KILLED
 AN ASSOCIATE.
Claims He Shot Ed Boykin at Fair Grounds by Mistake-POpular Couple Will Wed
 Wednesday.
Advertiser Bureau,

'.-'- Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, July 8. The case of the State against R. A. Anderson, who was indicted for the killing of Ed Boykin. was called in the City Court of Selma this morning.
 It was thought that the defense would ask for a continuance, but such proceedings were not instituted, and both the State and the defendant an nouhced that they were ready to go 10 trial A special venire was present and a large number of witnesses. and these filled the large court room.
 On the night of November l, last. while acting as a policeman at the sec ond annual exposition of the Central Alabama Fair Association, Anderson shot and killed Ed Boykin. another po- Iiceman of the fair grounds. During the early hours of that evening one of the show people in the animal show of the Parker Amusement Company lost an overcoat, and this was reported to the police officers. Later this over coat was found on top of one of the animal cages of the show. Anderson was set to watch the coat so that if the thief came back to get 1t that he could arrest him. After watching the coat for an hour of so Anderson called Boy kin and asked him to watch 1t while he went off for few minutes. While Anderson was away, Boykin crawled up on the cage to examine the coat, and just about that time Anderson re- turned. and. seeing a man climbing up on the cage, he pulled his pistol and fired. Both of the shots fired struck Boykin and about an hour later he died from the wounds.
 Anderson waived preliminary exam ination and was sent to jail. Boykin, before the fair, was a member of the machinists' union. and while that union was on a strike here, he took a posi- tion as policeman at the fair grounds. The local machinists' union Is taking a hand in the proceedings by having se- cured the services of firm of dttor- to prosecute the case against Ander- son.
 The most of the morning session of the court was taken up In getting q jury selected. The work of selecting the jury was completed about 2 o'clock, and the court then adjourned for dinner. The court convened at 3:30 o'clock and the taking of testl- mony was then begun. Five witnesses were examined and at p. m the court adjourned until a. m. tomorrow.
 The principal feature of the session wss a nght between the opposing at torneys for the introduction of tho testimony of Will West. an eye-wit- ness to the shooting. and which was taken at the preliminary hearing. and also the testimony of Ben Renicke. No decision had been reached when the court adjourned.

Finishing Touches to Be Put
 on New Code by Committee To-day.

 There are a number of members who are anxious to know the letter and spirit of every change, and they will rise with questions to ask. These questions and the changes will bring on more talk and the Code will take longer time in it's passage than any other matter before the Legislature.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-07-09

The Code Commission will meet again this morning to add the finish ing touches to the proposed new Code. The Commission held a brief session yesterday, but its final work was not done.
 In all probability the most important fight of the present Legislature will take place over the new Code. It is certain that there will be more discus sion of the proposed Code than of any other single object before the Legisla- ture.

Heu.e Entertain.r. Arrive.

Representative Lamar Smith of El- moe and Representative $. c. Lacey of Ca. lss. have arrived, and life Is worth living iE the hotel lobbies, notwith- standing the heat For wherever those two are gathered, laughter reigns.
 Both gentlemen struggle with their natural humor to keep it under curb, but 1t Is liable to crop out at all times. The two are natural mimics. There are. perhaps, none better in the State. There isn't a prominent figure in either house that either one of them cannot perfectly initiate, and, in initiating. they can put on few extra fourishes.
 If some member has the misfortune to make himself ridiculous in the House, he Is lost. He will hear the incident recounted first by one, then by the other, with various frills. lie will hear his own speech delivered wi:n his own infection. And, while he stands there wearing a set of dry grins, he is compelled to listen to the laugh ter of the assembled crowd.
 The two of them contribute highly to the enjoyment of a legislative ses- sion.

Revenue Code to stand.

Outside of the repeal of the tax on money loned in Alabama. there is small prospect for any further amendment of the Revenue Code adopted by the Leg islature Some of the members who have been home and heard some frank expressions from their constituents. may attempt to get the act repealed which created the State Tax CommIs- sion. But 1t Is not thought that a suc- cessful fight can be worked on the Commission at this time. although the raises made in taxes has aroused con- siderable resentment in some of the counties.
