DEPUTYWHSONBAO
RETURNS FROM TRIP TO TEXAS
 AFTER WOMEN WITNESSES.
Much Money Being Spent to Prevent Their Return to Montgomery t0 Testify Against Caney--State
 Is Determined.

Information brought here from Dal- las Tex, by Deput Sherif George E. | Wilson. when he arrived here yesterday | morning, indicates desperate fight Is being made to prevent the bringing back of the two most important wit nesses, Mrs. M. Johnson and Mattie Brown. against Frank Caffey, the ne- | gro physician charged with murder and malpractice.
 The case IS one in which considerable | interest has been manifested here, and 1 one in which the authorities of Mont l gomery County are making a determ- ined effort to have thoroughly investi- gated and the guilty parties brought to l justice.
 The flight of the two main witnesses in the case against 'Caffey made the authorities determined to bring them back. When 1t was learned by friends of the negro physician that the women had been located, and deputy sherin was to be sent for them, an attorney from here was sent to institute pro- ceedings to prevent their being return ed.
 The women were duly arrested and held for the arrival of the Alabama officer. but were subsequently, released on habeas corpus proceedings. They were re-arrested on the arrival of Dep uty Wilson, and were lodged in jail dkaln. Attorney G. OuItNGy WHO went to Dallas at the same time Deputy Wilson did, secured the assistance of leading attorneys at Dallas. and made an appeal to have the women released from jail on ball This was first granted the bail being fixed at $75O. Later 1t was decided, However, not to admit the women to bail. Yesterday 1t was ru- mored they were again admitted to bail. They are held waiting hearing on an appeal made to the Appellate Court in Tyler, Tex. the first Monday in October.
 The proceedings have already cost a large sum of money, and indicates the anxiety of the prisoner here to keep the witnesses out of the way. In the mean time, warrants will probably be sworn out here charging them with being ac- cessories to Dr. Caffey, so that in the event they are discharged by the full court in Texas they can again be arr rested.
 Deputy Wilson said that the women seem to be well supplied with money, and that both of them are in great fear of being brought back to Mont g0mery.

BIG PROPERTY SOLD

 IN SELMA.
This Purchase Gives Rise to the Be- lief That Road Will soon Build
 shops in Central


 Selma. Sept. 5.-(Special. 1.-The &C., quiring of block of land in the north- ern part of the city today by the Lou isville and Nashville Railroad, gives rise to the belief that it is the inten- tion of that system to establish shops here at an early date The block of property acquired by the L.. and, N. to- day is bounded on the south by the tracks of that system, on the east by Range Avenue, on the north by Voge- lin Street and on the West by St. Ann Street, and was formerly owned by M. K. Elkan, the consideration for the same being about $4.000. The block Is known on the city map as Block E.. The Louisville and Nashville is also the owner of the block just west and which is known as Block +. This was pur- chased some time ago from Col. F. M. Abbott, President of the B. s. and N. O. Railroad, and which is also the prop erty of the Louisville and Nashville system. The purchase of the block of property in the northern part of the city today gives the Louisville and Nashville three continuous blocks in that section and frontage of nearly a thousand feet
 It was stated today that the City Council at the regular monthly meet ing Monday night, will be petitioned to permanently close St. Phillips and St. Ann Streets by the railroad. These two streets are very irregular in that vicinity and little used. and it is thought that this petition will be granted. While many theories are ad- vanced by citizens as to what use the railroad would put this property to. it Is generally believed and acceded that 1t is the intention of the Louis vile and Nashville to erect shops thereon and that the same will be done within a short while.
