session of the trial OF w. d. Haywood
was abandoned today on account Of tho
doned today on account of the fitness
illness of the prisoner who was attacked
at an early hour by toxic poisoning.
The doctors attending Haywood and
his counsel both stated that the illness
was not serious and they believed ne

o'clock this afternoon TO which hour
u recess was taken. Haywood suffered
acutely during the night and at

ministered to the prisoner. He had
not recovered from the effects Of the
morphine at the hour set for the moru-
ing session.
The news of Haywood's Illness
spread rapidly through the city and
there were but few persons in tine,
court room when the hour for con-
vening arrived. Judge Wood made the
announcement of Haywood's Illness.
He said the county physician suggested
that the prisoner might be able to at
tend the trial during the afternoon.
Attorney Richardson then made q
statement as to the nature of the at
tack Haywood had suffered. He said
he was sure II was nothing serious.
The administration of the opiates was
necessary TO relieve the intense pain.
He declared Haywood in weakened
condition and Ii was this which made
It impossible for the prisoner to be IN
court this morning.
1t was announced that Haywood was
unable to attend court this afternoon.
His counsel reported that they ex-
pected the defendant would be ready
to attend court on Monday, morning.

MONTGOMERY'S CASE
TIME FOR FILING ANSWERS TO
FREIGHT BUREAU EXPIRES.
Mr.. Clark of the Interstate Commerce
Commission Cannot Say where
the Railroad Hearing
VIII BE Field.

Washington, June 1.-(Special.) 1.-The
time for sending in answers to the
complaint of the Montgomery Freight
Bureau against a number of railroads
on account of discrimination expired
today.
All of the lines either through their
attorneys or their officials have been
heard from, with the exception OF
three. They are the Rock Island, the
Chicago and Northwestern and the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville.
The case is SO well known In Mont
gomery II is useless to mention the
other twelve companies interested In
the questions at issue, for they IN
clude the leading lines doing business
in the southern section of the coun-
try.
This case Is in the immediate care
of Mr.. Clark of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Today he is not
able to say just when day Will be
set for the hearing. nor can ne say
definitely at present whether or not
any members of the commission Will
go to Montgomery but from what ne
and others In authority at the COM
mission say the desire is to take tes-
tImony at the Alabama capitol IL 1t
can be conveniently arranged.
The business of the commission II is
ascertained is much behind, and &C
cording to the best information OBJ
tanned today 1t is hardly probable that
a hearing can be had here or at Mont
gomery within the present month.
The records in this case are volumi-
nous. AS e rule the twelve companies
that have filed answers deny most OF
the charges of serious import.
Some OF the allegations on the part
of the Freight Bureau are admitted
to be true, but they are few One OF
the most comprehensive answers re-
caiyed Is from the Louisville and
Nashville Company. From the tenor
of the answer it is evident this COM
