Reports We're Plentiful.

Many other witnesses sWore today that there was reason to believe that there was trouble brewing, but also said that the talk was no more than might have been the case at any time with a negro held for so serious an offense. The story was told frequently that there was talk, bH always qualified by the statement that the talk was not specific enough to lay the speech to any individual Indicating the condition of the city it was agreed by the two sides that the city was not in state of excitement other Athan might have been the case if any Nnegro was held for the murder of popular man.
 The testimony has brought out general ly that after the killing of the officer the negro was placed in jail, and from then on the feeling was intense. However, there was TO mob formation, as was the case in the past when negroes had been hung Even after dark, when 1t was gen eraly rumored that trouble was in the air, in no case has it been brought out that there were any collections of men with expressed determination to take the negro out.
 Many Other Trials.
 There have been other impeachment trials in the rooms of the supreme court, where the hearing is in progress, but this is the first under the new law. An att tempt was made four years ago to bring the sheriff of Madison county to the bar but it was found that while the constitu- tion had made preparation for the trial of sheriffs in this way, no law had been passed, so that there was no way to get at it, and the case was dropped. Like Sheriff Cazalas, the Huntsville man was charged with failure to protect a negro who was taken from the jail and hung
 Other than sheriffs there have been a number of impeachment hearings in the past, including one circuit judge, two or three probate judges and some clerks. The records show that in one notable case north Alabama man, the officer was thrown out of his position. Another, from south Alabama, resigned prior to going Into the hearing, and another was. after long and tempestuous hearing, ac- quilted.

Mayor Lyons Heard.

Mayor Lyons, who is on his way to Washington with a Mobile committee of citizens to invite President Taft to come to the Gulf City on visit, was allowed to go on the stand out of time so that he could join the Washington party as it came through tonight. He said that he was about the city or his office near the jail all day, that he heard no reports or rumors that were of the kind to make him fear lynching, and the policeman on that beat made no report of any possi ble trouble, He saw nothing to indicate agitation in the minds of the people other than might always have been the case following a crime like that of the murder of so popular a man as Deputy Sheriff Philip Thach
 Mayor Lyons was asked the reputation of Leon Delhome, witness on the stand for the state in the morning, and he re- sponded that it was not good; that he knew the man and had been forced to dis miss him from his employ. Delhome, who is said to have been "spotter" for the Law and Order league, swore that he heard much talk of the lynching the day before it happened, also that he was present at the time the negro was hung Burgess was also present at the hanging though neither could remember any of the people there

SHERIFF CAzALAS
 BEING DEFENDED
One Witness Admits He Was
 Paid to Testify
MAYOR LYONS ON STAND
Swears That Though He was In Town He Heard No Reports of Pro- posed Lynching of Negro
 In Mobile.

Montgomery, May 5-(Speeial. )-The de-. fense in the impeachment trial of Sheriff Frank Cazalas of Mobile played a couple of trump cards today, the first in making one of the state witnesses say that he was paid to come to Montgomery and testify against the officer, and the second in the evidence of Mayor P. J. Lyons of the Gulf City, who swore that while he was about Mobile all the day of the lynching there was no report brought to him by officer or otherwise that there was danger of a lynching that night
 The witness who proved to be a star is J, M. Burgess, who is said to be well known. He stated on being questioned by Gregory L. Smith for the defense that he was told by Leon McKeon that he would be paid; also that McKeon gave him money and that an officer of the Law and Order'league paid his way on a trip to Mississippi, with the understanding that he was to go on the stand at the proper time and swear against Cazalas, Under the skilful work of the lawyers for the Cfefense this witness came out the best thing yet for the man charged with in'eompetency in his office.
