 It appears taht Lindsey's real name is Beech Hill and Brooks name is James Turner, and the names by which they have been known here are merely as- stunned. It Is said that Lindsey admits but Brock disclaims the charge. They are both married and have families
 The most unique feature In the case Is the manner in which they concealed their identity, After the crime was commit ted in Gainesville they came here and took charge of a blacksmith shop where they carried on a general repair busi- ness for several years, winning the con fidence of the people of this locality. Dur ing this time they carried on correspond enee with their wives, directing their let ters to the Widow HilI' and to the
 Widow Brock at Gainesville. Later their wives came to this place where they were again married as Lindsey and Brocks, then moving few miles out of town Lindsey purchased a 616-acre farm which they have cultivated up to the present and which he still owns
 The papers from Gainesville for these men have been In the hands of the sher- TIT of this county for about a year but nothing was known Of Hill or Turner until lew days since, when 1t leaked out that because of some trouble in Geor- gia both men had to change their names Deputy Sheriff Gibson, accompanied by Marshal Stallings, made the arrest Lind sey is an uneducated but industrious man. He has good reputation and many friends among the business men of this place and is reputed to be attentiove to his own business.

J. A. LUSK HEARS
 THE COMPLAINTS

Florence, June s.-(Special )-John A. Lusk of the Alabama railroad comrnis- sion was in Florence this morning for the purpose of Investigating railroad service here and adjusting matters be- tween the roads and the public with as little friction as possible and in a manner to get the most out of the pub lie service corporation with the least injury to the latter" as he stated to the gathering of business men which greeted him in the county court room at 9 o'clock.
 It developed in the course of the meeting that Florence has much com plaint against the Southern railway.
 John T. Ashcraft was the principal spokesman and he called attention to the failure of the South ern to keep faith with Florence in the agreement made when the passenger train was removed between Tuscumbia and Flor ence. The citizens of Florence ac- quiesced in that arrangement with the understanding that tickets were to be sold to and baggage checked to Flor ence and that the city was to re- main on the printed schedules, none of which has been carried out It was shown that shipments from this city to Huntsville take five to 15 days over tn Southern, while 1t requires but two days over the Louisville and Nash vile by way of Columbia, giving ship pers from Owensboro and Chicago to points east on the Southern the ad- vantage in point of time over Flor ence. It was shown that in a number of other ways Florence Is penalized in the matter of freight and passenger rates.
 Commissioner Lusk promised to bring the matter before the railroad commission and secure an amicable adjustment if possible.
