Later Mrs Lide made statement in which she said that her husband had held q pistol to her bosom and made her promise to say that Johnson had insufted her, and declared that John son had always conducted himself as . perfect gentleman towards her.
 A great deal of feeling against John- son was aroused at the time and q special session of the grand jury was called to investigate the case. As re- suit. an indictment of murder was re- turned against Lide. and he was sub- sequently convicted of murder and sent to the penttentiary for life.
 The petition asking that Lide be pe- rolled for one year, was signed by a large number of citizens of the County, but there was a counter petition signed by an equally large number of infiuen- tial citizens, protesting against a rec- ommendation for either pardon or pa- role, The Board has not yet taken any action in the matter.
 It was announced yesterday that there will not be another session of the Pardon Board until the conclusion of the special session of the Legisla- ture. This action is taken for the pur- pose of relieving the members of the Board of the necessity of considering cases while they are so busy with oth- or matters incident to the special ses- sion of the Legislature.

SEEK PARDON
 FOR 5. A. LIDE Slayer of Judge Johnson Asks Mercy. z SENSATIONAL cRIME OF 1900 Victim Was Magistrate of Beat II and Candidate for Sheriff. AIIesatisn Made That He H.d IasuIted Wife of the Murderer, But
 This Was Later
 Denied.

At yesterday mornings session of the state Pardon Board application was made for the pardon of s. A. Lide, who is now serving a life sentence for the murder of Judge A. B. Johnson in Montgomery County in 1900. This was the only case considered by the Board, and it is not believed that any action will be taken, as there was also a strong petition against granting a pardon or a parole to Lide.
 I The case was one of the most sen sationaI ever tried in Montgomery County, and was hard fought through all the courts. Sensational eviden6e was introduced, indicating that the murder. was cold-blooded one, and that Johnson was killed without being given chance for his life.
 The crime was committed at Oak Grove, eleven miles from Montgomery, In store owned and operated by Lide. Judge Johnson was magistrate of Beat ' No. II, and one of the most highly re- spectsd citizens in the County. At the time of the tragedy he was candidate Tor aierin of Montgomery County.
 The crime was committed at 2 o'clock on the morning of March g., 1s0e. From testimony adduced at the eoroner's inquest and during the trial It appears that for some reason Lide
  held srudge against Judge Johnson.
 A statement was made after the kill ing that Mrs Lide had gone to her hus- bands store on Sunday afternoon to get some flour for Monday mornings breakfast It was claimed that John son followed her into the store, caught hold of her and made improper propo- sais to her. She told her husband, it was first stated. and he immediately declared that he intended killing JoE,n- son. Loading his gun he went in search of Johnson, but did not find him that night.
 The following morning. according to this first statement. Johnson sent word 70 Lade that he would like to go to Montgomery with him. Lide accepted the invitation, and when the two met at Lide's store all took a drink after which Lide told Johnson he wanted to take drink with him in the store. The two went in there, and 1t was while in the store that Lide shot and killed Johnson.

courts, or that the Legislature can do anything that will prevent tbsm from going into the courts That the issues between the State administration and the railroads are now in the courts, to. be pushed until they can no longer be the subject of State agitation. is the claim of the attorneys.
 The attorneys for the State were at some trouble to prepare their answer. for they had to communicate with ev- cry sheriff and solicitor in Alabama. They had to wait until replies were re- ceived and then to prepare from them the general answer. These answers will be passed upon by the Special Master, Judge Asa D. Stratton- As soon as the answers are all in. Judge stratton will begin the preparation of his report to Jadge Thomas Q. Jones.
 Colonel GarbeT retained a copy of the answer in the Louisville and Nash vile case and from 1t the answer to the South and North Railroad win be made.
 II is denied In Attorney General Gar bers answer that the Governor has acted in such q way as to reflect upon
 the Federal Court. and 1t is further denied that the Federal Court has the right to enjoin criminal proceedings.
 It is not admitted in the answer that it was the Intention of the Governor
 to cause the order of the Federal Court to De frustrated and rendered ineffec-
 tuai by requiring and instructing pros-
 ecuting officers to indict in the several counties in (which the railroads run. II
 Is also denied thar 'the said Governor
 of Alabama had openly and publicly
 repudiated the right of this honorable
 court (the Federal Court at Monteom
 efy) to make said orders, and deny that he has made the statements, de- ciaring or threats having the meaning therein sought to be conveyed"
 It Is also held. with regard to Coun- ty officers, that ''this court has no ju- risdiction to enjoin or restrain them fsolicitors and sheriffs) from the per- formance of their official duties under the laws of the State of Alabama, be- cause the said bill constitutes a suit against the Srate of Alabama, in vio- lation of the eleventh amendment oi the constitution lof the United States and. also, of the 157th Section of the Constitution of Alabama"
 It Is admitted by the State that in discussing the agreement by which the Southern Railway put in the new rates the said Governor used the language alleged and quoted in that paragraph It Is also held that there is no special duty put upon the solicitors with re. gard to the laws and that they are not proper officers to be- made the subject of the injunction.

 Some time ago the attorneys for the State asked for and were granted an additional thirty days in which to pre- pare and file the answers. This was to date from Oct. 2s- It will be seen. therefore, that the Attorney General has hastened the work and filed the first set of answers with time to spare.
 The attorneys for the railroad say that they are doing all in their power to have the cases tried at the earliest day possible. This they say is the dennite fixed policy of the railroads. They say the cases are in the courts to stay until final decision is made and that the sooner they are finally adjudicated the better 1t will be for every railroad doing business in Ala banla. 4 final adjudication of the case, they say. will protect them from ad- verse Iegislatton and it will take the roads out of politics. c consummation to be devoutly wished.

REWARD Is OFFERED
INCENTIVE FOR CAPTURE or
 CONECUH MuRDERER.
Henry Burgess, Deputy Game Warden, Was Shot In the Rack on De- tober 10 In the Woods I've
 Miles from Home.


 Governor Conner yesterday author ized the offering of a reward of sl00 for the apprehension of the murderer of Henry Burgess. who was killed Tn Conecuh County on October 1a. last, on petition of number of the most prom inent citizens of that community.
 In the petition. 1t is shown that the murder was most foul one. The dead man went out hunting and when was made for him. the body being found In the woods with two ghastly gun sh ct wounds in the back.
 It was shown that Burgess left his home on Saturday afternoon to so squirrel hunting. He was deputy deputy game warden of the county. Falling to return home by midnight. searching party was organized and searched all night long. Sunday morn ing at II o'clock the body was discov- cred in a swamp about two miles From his home. There were two ghastly wounds inflicted by a shot gun, one In the back of the head and the other near the left shoulder blade. ' The nature of the wounds indicated that the shots had been fired at close range and by some person croucning behind MT. Burgess. A portion of one of the charges lodged in the trunk oi a tree some feet distant and carried with 1t a portion of the scalp, which was imbedded with the shot. per- ton of the gunstock carried by Mr' Burgess was. blown away. The gun had not been discharged.
 The most plausible theory advanced. and the one generally accepted by the citizens in the vicinity, is that Burgess was about to discover some one violat- ing the game law, and was fired upon by the offender rather than to be pros- ecuted.
 In addition to the reward by the Governor, rewards have also been or fered by the sheriff ana citiSehs oA Conccuh.
