COMPROMISE CASES TWO DEFENDANTS ACCEPT SEN. FENCE WITHOUT TRIAL. Circuit Court of Dallas County VIII Take Up Two Important Mur.
 der Cases TOdmy-CIear-
 tmg Up Docket.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Sept. 26.
 Very little of the time of the Circuit Court of Dallas County was taken up with the two capital cases which had been set to be heard by the court to- day. The special venire was on hand but no Jury was drawn and the evil dence was not gone into, as the at- torneys for both of the defendants ef- fected a compromise and the merits of the eases were not gone into.
 The first of the two capital cases called this morning was the one against Greeley English. It was ad-, legged that English murdered Fannie Irby, his n1other-in-law. Rather than run the risk of being hung, the negro took life sentence and ended the case.
 The case against Cato King was then called and a compromise was ef- fected and King took a five-year sem tence In the penitentiary. He is al- legged to have killed a negro named Walter Childers.
 After disposing of these two cases the court adjourned for the day.
 Tomorrow the cases against William Jones, who is charged with the mur- der to Lizzie Jones, and Prince Smith for the murder of Jim King, will be taken up. Considerable surmising Is being done as to what will be the out come of the case against the negro William Jones. Some months ago his wife mysteriously disappeared from their home about a mile east of this city, at the cage of Blue Gerth swamp Since the disappearance of the woman, a number of searching parties have tried to find her body or some evidence of crime. So far the authorities have been unsuccessful in their efforts, but the circumstances surrounding the case points strongly to the fact that the man had a quarrel with his wife, and after murdering her, disposed of her body, which has not yet been found.
 Transferred to Birmingham.
 z. B. Wilson, who for some time past has held the position of foreman of the car repairing department of the Southern Railway, has received no- tice that he has been transferred from Selma to Birmingham. The transfer Is in the shape of a promotion, and while MT. Wilson has many friends in Selma who regret to see him leave they are congratulating him upon his promotion.

FRISCO GRAND JURY GETS TWO
SENSATIONAL BITS OF EVIL
DENCE.
ACCUSE TELEPHONE OFFICIAL
RUFF CLAIMS THAT HE is THE
VICTIM OF A GIGANTIC CON-
SPlRACY.

San Francisco, April 1.-Two sensa-
tional pieces of evidence in the brlb-
cry and graft investigation were ad
duced before the grand jury Saturday.
Three members of the executive
board of the Pacific States Telephone
company, f. S. Pillsbury, Homer S.
King and Timothy Hopkins, testified
that they had no knowledge whatever
Of the alleged bribing of supervisors
to ote against the award of a compet'-
tive franchise to the Home Telephone
company, and that If bribery was COM
mitted it was up to" Vice President
Louis Glass, whom the grand jury mas
already indicted on nine cunts.
Ruef Paid $1,000 a Month.
The second sensation came when j.
S. Pillsbury, who is a director OF and
| attorney for the Pacific States Tele-
phone company, testified that Abra-
ham Ruef, indicted political boss, has
been for more than two years on the
private pay roll of that corporation and
has Deer paid regularly $1,000 a
month.
NldNOI oCillllllA lSSASd q
denying the charge made by the prose
| cution that he is endeavoring to cause
the resignation of a certain number OF
supervisors in order to fill their places
with men who would Illustrate any at
| tempt to revoke those public service
franchises which they are OF
having awarded as a result of bribery.
Conspiracy, Says Ruef.
In an interview Ruef, for the first
time since his capture at the Iroca'
dero. denounces his prosecutors, de-
claring that he is being kept in a pri-
vate prison, in violation of all legality
and precedent, and announces that he
! will produce in court a~ttidavits, sworn
to before his capture, proving that the
acts Of the prosecution are parts OF a
conspiracy and that every newspaper
In San Francisco is denouncing him as
a CRATER and a rascal because these
newspapers either are privately sub
uidized or were unable to WELD the in
fuence in administration affairs they
craved.
