Nell smiled and changed the subject,
and Griswold went home feeling miser-
able. He loved Nell, and this refusal
was q blow to his heart and his pride.
It was Ben who tugged ,Nell's sled
up Beeman's hill the following after
noon and found Griswold gloomily re-
Rarding the coasters. The hill swung
in a rough half circle down the steep
declivity. Usually the roadway was
beaten into glare of ice by the coast
ers, for 1t was the only good coasting
place in the neighborhood.
From the brow Of the hill the entire
road could be observed. All summer
Henry Beeman had been cutting the
thick growth of pines which had cover
ed the hillside, and now only broad
expanse of glistening snow crust dotted
with the pine stumps remained.
It was a pretty spectacle, and Girls
void enjoyed it in spite of the evident
favor with which Nell regarded Ben,
who accompanied her in her dashes

With Nell walking by his side. Nomi-

Ben's was supposed to be the property

Youngsters had little use of their DOS
sessions.
The sun was dipping toward the hills
on the other side Of the valley and
most of the coasters had gone home
when Nell settled herself for her last
ride. Ben had stopped to tie his shoe

off at a terrific pace.

Birmingham, Aug. )-- Judge H. B. Abernathy today decided that he would hold R. W. Thompson to the grand jury without the privilege of giving ball.

The killing created considerable of a sensation at the time and the preliminary trial attracted a large crowd every day for a week i. Thompson and Robertson were paying attentions to the same young woman, Miss Katie McDonough, of Pratt City. The two men decided to fight 1t out in park and when Thompson reached there he found Robertson with sew eral friends. Thompson was worsted in this fight and after the scrap went to his home. loaded his pistol and while enroute to a physicians office to have his wounds dressed came across Rob- ertson.
 The shooting followed. Robertson be- ing hit in a vital spot on the very first shot. A strong fight was made for ball. the arguments of the four at- torneys taking up the whole of Tues day. There was a good sized crowd of people in the court room today when Judge Absrnathy rendered his decision

 4 prediction by the local weather bureau on the basis of a telegram from headquarters at washington that rain, or, rather. showers. would be the order of the day for Alabama, met with some success, but not in the immedi- ate vicinity of Montgomery. There was rain reported as close aA We tuuapiga, coosada and Clanton, besides other reports from Southern Alabama. It rained within two miles of Mont gomery.

 But the end is in sight. Yes. a pe- riod has been placed to the heat. The cold wave is at present crossing tho Rockies and will reach the city about Monday morning, early, or perhaps Sunday night. In advance of this cold wave will come clouds to blot out the rays of the sun during the day at cer- tain times.

CASE WAS TANGLED
QUEER EVIDENCE IN SUNDAY vIO-
 LAYTON CASE.
Rncorder Dsacredated ProsecutinE Witt mena,n Testimony, When story of
 Hta ORer to Leave Was

nena,a Testimony. When story of
 His oRer to Leave Was
 Told.
 Despite the fact that he was posi- lively Identified by S J. King as the negro who sold him whiskey Sunday in Flinn's bar. near the corner of Holt and Bell streets, Dorsey Wade a ne- gro. tried in the Recorders Court yes terday afternoon on the charge of yio- lating the Sunday whiskey ordinance, was discharged. -Diseredit was thrown upon the testimony of Mir. King be- cause of the allegation that he had made a proposition to Mir. Finn to leave Montgomery and not appear as q witness in the case if the latter would pay four weeks room rent which he owed and give him in addition SIS. That statement was sworn to by Mir. Film and by Wade, who is employed in the bar and claims to have been an auditor when Mir. King made that offer.
 The trial of the case occupied an honr. a. number of witnesses being examined.
 As witness for the city. Mir. King. who Is a painter, swore that he bought from Dorsey at FIinn's bar last Sum day a half pint of whiskey for which he paid a quarter. His testimony was corroborated by W. c. Bryan, who stated that he was with King at the tino of the purchase, Mfr. King de- clared that unless Wade had double he was without doubt the person who sold him the whiskey.
 On the stand Mir. Film swore that Wade had no authority to sell liquor over his bar and stated that the negro had no key to the bar. Tn answer to questions of the attorney for the de- fense he declared that Mir. King came to him and made the offer to eonven- iently leave the city before the trial of Wade if he would give him money to pay room rent and SIS in cash. He told MT. King, he testified, that he could not do that. and the latter left the bar where he was at the time.
 Wade testified that he had overheard the conversation between Mir. King and Mir. Film and corroborated the testi- mony of the latter in every detail.
 Although a number of other wit nesses were called upon to take the stand. the city could produce no evil dence that Wade was at the bar at the time Mir, King claimed that he bought thes whisley, but on the other hand several of he witnesses swore that 1t was extremely impossible that he had been there. since they would have been almost certain to see him had that been true.
 With the conflicting evidence before him, Acting Recorder Lowe dismissed the case against Wade.
