BODBKER CALLS FOR
 MORE PARTICULARS
HE IS NOTIFIED THAT NEGRO BE- LEVIED TO BE HENRY KING IS HELD IN coLoRADo-PHoTo- GRAPH IS WANTED.

Chief Bodeker was notified yesterday morning of the arrest of a negro in Trini- dad, Colo believed to be Henry King, who killed Patrolman Mullin and who is also the alleged n.arderer of Officer Ben nett at Ensley short time prior 10 the time Officer Mullln was killed. Immedi- ately upon receipt of the telegram from the Colorado authorities Chief Bodeker wired Sheriff Davis at Trinidad to hold the negro there and to send full de- serption and photograph of the alleged Henry King.
 When Sheriff Davis is heard from the photograph of the negro will be com pared with photographs here and if there Is sufficient resemblance an officer will be sent to Trinidad after the negro.
 Since the murder of Officer Mullin there have been several Henry Kings captured in various parts of the country, the last in Florida. It will be recalled that the negro supposed to have been captured in Florida is said to have been shot by the officer in charge while on lis way to Birmingham with the man. The Florida authorities claimed the re- ward of $500, which still stands for King $ arrest, but as they never made showing here for their arrest 1t was never paid. The question now is whether or not the man being held in Colorado is the real Henry King.

Eighth avenue it was remarked, was disgrace to Brming- ham this side of Eighth street, and Il shame upon Greymont on the far side, It was ''roughety bump all the way out until the county road beyond Grey mont was reached. and was quite good until reaching Palmer Terrace on the round trip. But the public roads in Fair view, and to West End from the fair grounds via Owenton, it was generally ob- served were a discredit to the county as well. These strips were full of gulleys and showed no signs of anyone hav- touched them recently.
 Pay Visit To EnsIey.
 MT. Perce was shown the city of Ensley, where he remembered having bought tar for the experiments in road building in Madison county, Tennessee and he said he would have something to say about that here before leaving.
 The ride was an enjoyable one, however It developed the fact that haste to get the roads in good shape has caused the use of a cheap, soft material during the last two months, which, it was pointed out, will not pay in the long run.

SOCIETY CIRCUS
 SURE TO PLEASE

That the Society Circus. as presented former years, has been a success every one will testify. It is difficult to pre- sent an absolutely new bill each suc- ceeding year because athletic work to the general public is sameness that only the most critical can perceive. It has been the earnest endeavor of the managers of the show to introduce as many new features as possible in order that the programme will be as attractive as possible.
 The circus this year will include all manner of athletic work-tumbling. jump ing trapeze. horizontal and parallel bars. The work on the horizontal and parallel bars this year will be especially at tractive and in order to appreciate the many difficult feats performed in this way. one has to pay strict attention to the performer. De Witt has added several new stunts to his repertoire, all of which will commend themselves to the pleasure of the audience.
 The young ladies' Indian club drill, dazzling in beauty and brilliant in ef- feet, will bring forth a spontaneous out burst of applause This drill is done by IS young ladies and is quite beaut full act. The Merry Widow waltz, by a double sextette, will appeal to all lovers of pretty costumes and ease and grace of manner. These are only a few of the novelties to be presented. The programme Is rich in all that 1t takes to please the public The Society Circus is billed at the Jefferson theatre next Monday, mati- nee and night.

pcaled to.
Seventh--Thc law recognizes the
fact that jury can be improperly it.

felony cases.
Eighth-Counscl for defendant
make statements and arguments (7y

Ninth-As the law is an, exact sci
cncc intended to prevent crime by
fairly, justly, and reasonable punish
ing those guilty of infraction, there
can be no reason for a jury on the
theory that it will be more mcrciful
than Judges learned in the law, and
capable of deliberate and judicious
analysis and application of facts.
Tcnth-l'hc strongest reason against
the system is that instead of every
"ifcnsc being accurately defined and
punished, jurics are continually add
ing to the definitions and destroying
the certainty Of punishment. If it
were known to be fact that every
crime would be punished according to
its definition, there can be no doubt
OF the Salutary effect. 1t is the un-
certainty of the jury verdict that
breeds criminal desire and anarchy.
In civil cases, says he. jurics are
taken TO avoid the law. "pcrsonal
injury' suits afford the most striking
illustration. JuricS pay no attention to
ihc law, the assumption Of risk, or
the contribuiory negligence Of the
plaintiff. but decide the case plainly
on mistaken sympathy against the
defendant. The Fact that the plaintiff
is poor and the defendant is rich is
sufficient, and the jurors relieve their
r"nSricnrrs by aSSurin" one another
that Il higher court will correct their
mistakc--if any. Appellate courts
rnmplacrntly hold themselves "bound
by the Facts thus found by the jurv.'
and he law goes on changing from
system OF doubt, and from doubt TO
hopeless confusion and conScicncclcss
