His identification of the loaders of the mob and many of :,s
 members was complete, and cross -ex
 animation failed to .take his testi-
 mony.

 ft Selma. July 16.
 The trial of Police Officer Burfitt be- fore the City Council at the meeting last night. in connection with the death of Ralph Lilienthal. was concluded about F o'clock and resulted in his dis missaI.
 When all the evidence mad been in- troduced. the attorney for tho city and for the defendant decided not to argue the case, but to submit il to the Coun- ell.
 Councilman Marshall then moved that Mr. Burfitt be exonerated and re- instated. As a substitute to this mo- tion, Councilman Jones introduced a resolution sustaining the action of the Chief Of Police and the Mayor in sus- pending Officer Burfitt and that the suspension stand. The v0e upon the substitute resulted in a tie which the chair decided by voting in favor of the sub Jtitute.
 After the decision had been render- ed in the case, against Police Officer Burftt the Council appointed next Fri day night. July 26. at the tine for hear ing the case against Captain of Police Miller. Captain Miller was acting as desk sergeant on the night that Officer Burfitt brought Ralph Lilienthal to po- lice Headquarters, and where the charge of being drunk and down was booked against that yonng man when in reality the man under arrest was unconscious and fatally III.
 The full report of State Chemist Ross on the contents of the stomach of the late Ralph Lilienthal Is expected here tomorrow. When this report has been received the coroner's jury which was empanelled to investigate into the cause of the death of MT. Lilienthal will convene and will make its final report.
 A partial report from State Chem ist Ross was received yesterday. In this report Professor Ross said that he was certain that death was not caused from the administration of any poison but that he would make a fur ther examination to see If he could find traces of any mineral poison in the con- tents of the stomach.
 It Is likely that the coroner's jury which Is composed of k. E. L. Niel foreman, J. J. Babcock. Turner Reese. Abe Isaacson. Nj. l.. Calhoun. and H. L. Lardent. will make no re- port upon the conduct of the city on1- cials in their treatment of MT. Lilien- thai after he had been carried to po- lice Headquarters as such a report would hardly come within the juris- diction of the jury.
