Ensley, February 26.-CSpecial)-As a
result of investigation by the police au-
thorities J. II. Moss and VIII Goolsby
with the murder of their brother-in-law,
Joe Hopkins, who was shot and killed
near No. mine at Wylam last night.
The arrest was made by Officers Wren

The remains are being held pending an
investigation by Coroner Brasher, who

mony at the city hall, Wylam. at 10
o'clock Saturday morning.
One of the officers stated they had
found a pistol on which were blood stains
in the trunk of Goolsby, the ealibre of
which corresponds with the bullet which
caused Hopkins death. The three men
were seen together by the night crew of
the Birmingham Southern railway, who
state they saw or heard two shots fired.
At the police station Moss, who is the
elder of the two men. insisted that Hop
kins was shot from ambush by unknown
parties. Late this afternoon Goolsby con-
fessed to Officer John Wren that he fred
the fatal shot, but claimed it was purely
accidental. He completely exonerated
Moss and stated he had no reason at all
TO shoot the deceased. they being friends
He told the officers he pulled his pistol
and shot at random and that Hopkins
got in the line of fire. He also stated
the reason he made no statement sooner
was he was so badly scared and afraid
of the consequences. Sensational devel-
opments are expected at the trial Satur-
day morning.

Crowd Around Body.
Cross-examined by General Garner, he
said there was crowd around the body
when he arrived. He thought the blood
near the head came from the mouth, and
that 1t was flowing when he reached the
scene. The bullet was very close to the
dead mans lips.

Again the defense's objection was sus

Judges Ruling.
IF threats made by the deceased were
communicated to the defendants they
could be shown" said the judge, but 1t
is not competent to prove that no threats
were made. When no threats are proven
it is presumed none were made"
The state asked that the jury be with
drawn while it's counsel argued upon the
admissibility of the evidence. General
Garner presented the states side of the
contention. Judge Hart finally interrupt
ed and said:
IF the remarks of the senator were
communicated to the defendants they
would be admissible as tending to show
the defendants state of mind As 1t is,
Senator Carmack is dead, and the state
of his mind is not in controversy, nor can
1t be. However, If counsel will hand me
their authorities, I will consider them
and give decision in the morning.

ALEX CAUSES TROUBLE.
Too Young to Prosecute and Too MIN
BILE to Hold In Jail.

Florence. February Especial. "A
small boy, whose only patronym, so
far as the officers know, is Alex, is
bidding defiance to the police and sheriff
in series of burglaries, for which the
laws seem to offer no remedy. Alex is
10 years old, and therefore a year under
the age when the state says the young
criminal is accountable for his misdeeds.
However, Alex has been so persistent in
his mania for breaking into houses and
appropriating what suited his fancy, that
the police decided to lock him up and let
the state courts deal with the case. Ac-
cordingly he was put in the callaboose
last night, but this morning it was dis
covered that the little negro had bur-
rowed under the floor and made his es-
cape. Confined with him was another
negro, viii Key, who was charged with
gambling, and he made his exit through
the same hole.

Car Watched BY Detectives.

On the track of the Southern railway
company on Nineteenth street near the
depot stands a box car shipped from
Indiana alleged to contain beer and other
or claim. 1t has been standing on the
tracks for three days. yet its contents
have not been disturbed or unloaded. The
reason assigned is that the car has been
watched day and night by agents and
officers of the Law and Order league who
propose to have the person or persons
arrested to whom the goods belong. H
c. Russell. president of the Law and
Order league. stated the consignee was
known and thus arrests would be made
later. The people are watching the out
come of the action of the league with
much interest.
