Choose Penitentiary.

Huntsville, June 5.-(Special)-Four prisoners who pleaded guilty in the Uni ted States court to charges of violating the internal revenue laws were allowed to choose between a year in the federal pen- itentiary in Atlanta and six months in the county jail and each chose the pehi- tentiary term. The prisoners were George w. England of Marshall county, John Evans of Jackson county and George D. May of Jackson county, all charged with retailing liquor, and J. l.. Sullivan of Lauderdale, charged with illicit distiling. These men have spent several weeks in jail here and as they are used to living out in the open they jumped at the chance to pay the penalty of their crimes in the Atlanta penitentiary. Judge w. I. Grubb is here on his first visit as judge of the federal court, and several matters that have been awaiting adjudication in this court for some time are being at- tended to.
