CLAY CASE GOES
 ID ANOTHER TERM Walton Case Takes Up the Time of Judge Buckley BASED ON INSANITY PLEA Grand Jury Report is Finished With Nearly Eighty Indictments,
 Many of Them for Running
 Blind Tigers.

Meridian, August 14-(Special.)- J. l Judge Buckley today announced that | the Clay case will not be tried at this term of court. The continuance is due to the fact that 1t will be i'm l possible to finish the Walton case be- fore Wednesday of next week. The defense in the Walton case closed to- day at 10 o'clock, following the intro duction of two witnesses, J. A. Wal ton and Will Walton, sons of the de- fendant. Both testified that their fath- CT had long been of an unsound mind. They each recited many instances when their father acted irrationally. Immediately following the announce ment of the defense that 1t had
 closed, the prosecution began the intro duction of rebuttal evidence which was continued until adjournment this aft ernoon.
 Nearly every one of the rebuttal wit nesses testified that they had never heard of Walton being of unsOund mind until after he had killed Will OFlinn. The prosecution still has a large number of witnesses to be heard and it Is doubtful If argument will be reached before Monday night or Tuesday noon. The case has developed a great deal of interest and the court room Is crowded with spectators each day, many of them being from New ton, Neshoba and Winston counties, where the defendant was quite well known before his removal to Meridian. The grand jury concluded it's investi- gations today and adjourned. They re- port examining 364 witnesses and the finding of 7S bills of indictment. They reported examination of all county in- stitutions and offices and finding everything in ship shape. Out of 78 indictments there were 28 against al- legged Violators of the Sunday laws, saying that In the jury's opinion 1t was the duty of the chief of police and beat officers to enforce these laws. As to social clubs the jury reported that the executive office and govern ing boards are using every effort to have their respective clubs operated according to law. Still the law is be- ing violated but the jury is unable to secure the evidence on which to in- dict"

PROVES BAD MIXTURE.
Watermelon and Whskey Get Man in
 Hospital and Jal Same Night.

A piece of watermelon and bunch of had whisky got white man inthe gutter, in the hospital and in Jail all in one night. Of course he finally wound up in jail on a charge of drunkenness and he remained there all night.
 The first that was heard of the case was a report received by Shaw & Sons un- dertakers, that a man had been badly cut in one of the downtown alleys and ambu- lance service was requested. The ambu- lance was sent out and when the driver found the subjtct he was lying in a dark spot in his shirt sleeves, apparently un- conscious, and the outer garment was ap- parently saturated with blood.
 The victim was hurried to the hospital and when examined it was found that he had only been eating watermelon and the blood-red juice had gotten all over his clothes. This settled, his unconscious state was looked into and was found to be nothing more than the result of a common drunk
 Without any ceremony whatever the in ebriate was hustled out of the hospital and carried to the city jail, where he will board until Monday unless his friends learn of his whereabouts and come after him.

HEAD BLOWN OFF
 WITH SHOTGUN

Coroner B. L. Brasher was called to Graymont last night to investigate the death of a negro named Joe Smith, whose head had been almost completely blown off with a shotgun. The coroner will hold an official Investigation of the case Wednesday.
 Smiths body was found in the house of Bob Wages from whom the deceased negro rented room. The coroner states that Wages story Is not just exactly sat- isfactory. He says that Wages single barreled shotgun was found lying beside Smiths body. Wages, 1t seems, claims that he and his wife went to church last night and that he got tired and left be- fore the meeting broke up He claims that when he got home he found Smith dead, that he went back to the church and tolw his wife not to go about the house until he returned and then he says he notified the coroner of what he had found
 The coroner went to the scene last night but after looking over the situa- tion was not satisfied and decided to hold thorough Investigation Wednesday morning.

WILL CLEAN UP
 WESTERN SECTION

A squad of deputy sherifrs left Bir mingham late yesterday afternoon for Litueton, where they will make their headquarters for general inspection of the western part of the county. It seems that certain individuals have earned A. somewhat bad name for their communi- ties and the deputies went out yesterday to look into complaints which have been registered with the sheriff.
 Reports from certain communities over on the western border of Jefferson coun- ty are to the effect that the craps shoot ters and whisky-sellers are doing about considerably. Efforts to catch the yio- lators of the law have in many cases heretofore been fruitless, and it was de- cided yesterday that by concerted action different results might be brought about.
 The deputies left Birmingham with the intention of going over the greater part of the entire western end of the county and it is not known just when they will return. However, reports are expected from them this morning.

 ARE OFF FOR OHIO.

The members of the Alabama rifle team, bound for Camp Perry. O., where the annual shoot between the various state teams of the National Guard is to be held beginning August 23, left Bir- mingham yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock over the Queen and Crescent route.
 The men composing the Alabama team, 19 in number, left yesterday with their heads turned to the sky and they are very hopeful. it being believed that the representatives from Alabama bid fair to make far better showing this year than ever before. The work which the team has done at Boyles during the past two weeks is said to have been most en- couraging, excellent scores having been made by several of the riflemen
 It is nearly two weeks before the shoot is to begin at Camp Perry, but the Ala bama team decided to leave in advance in order that they may be able to familiarize themselves with matters and get in few days of practice on the range at Camp Perry before the shoot begins in earnest. They will probably be ab- sent from the city about a month.
