ALABAMA JUDGESHIP
Leading Republicans Of North Ala
baHma Generally COneede That
the Appointment VIII Go to
Pleaaanfs.

Decatur, April 25.--(Speciai.)--
Among the leading Republicans OF
North Alabama, 1t is pretty generally
conceded that Attorney Shelby Pies
ants, of Huntsville will be appointed
as Federal judge in the place of Judge
Oscar r. Hundley, who now holds tho
Office and over whose position there
has been so much racket raised dur,
ing the past few months. Even Judge
Hundleyss personal friends here admit
that Judge HundIey Is defeated and
that some other man will be appoint
ed In HIS stead.
Some Of the leading Democrats here
are OF the opinion that President Taft
will appoint a Democrat to the judge
ship ana in this event 1t is believed
that Judge o. Kyle, OF Decatur, late
United States Judge to the Panama
canal zone. would stand a good show
for the position. Hell amply qualified
and stands high among the lawyers Of
the State. Besides Judge Kyle is a
former law partner OF Secretary of the
Intsrior Bailenger and has a strong
personal pun with Mr Bailenger. 1t
IL understood also that President Taft
thinks well of Judge Kyle. having
known him for some time past.
One peculiar feature OF the Hundiey
case Is the personei Of the men who
have been opposing and favorinR the
re-appointment of Judge HundIey to
the bench. In this part OF the state
the fight against Judge Hundley has
been waRed by Hon. William Richard
son. the Democratic Congressman from
this district. and H. v. Cashin, of
Decatur. one of the most able and
best known negro lawyers of the
South. On the other hand among
those who have been making the fight
for Judge Hundley's re-appointment
are Joe Thompson. of Birmingham,
collector of internal revenues for
Alabama and chairman of the Repuh-
lican party of the State and one of
President Roosevelt's referees. and
Booker Washington. of Tuskegee,
president OF the negro school at that
place.
Among the Republicans here IL Is he
lieved that Judge Hundley's successor
will be appointed within the next few
days.

man. as he peered through a racking
headache.

That awful headachs Mr.. Grifin tried
to shake OF. He had more thoughts
for his health, they say, than for
money. He was finally shown, how
ever, that 1t was mighty possible that
an intruder. handy with ether. had

Of leisurely picking his pockets and,
regardless of results, He and Mr.. Nc
Manus were the only ones In the house
who did not lock their doors And sur
fered from an overdose of confidence.
Only the money was taken from each
pair Of trousers, even the watches of
the young men being left them. Mr..
McManus escaped a, headache, II is
said, because he had the foresight to
leave his trousers at convenient dis
lance from his bed.
The burglar entered by raising the
parlor window to the home.

men stayed in their rooms at night.
II they had any kind OF employment,
Mr.. Norton did not know It.
Mr.. Estes learned that these men
had boarded with the Nortons and came
here a short time ago and secured de-
scriptions of the men from the Nor
tons. The men were traced to Ken
lucky. where they are now under ar
TEST.
Young Estes, who was kidnapped.
was attending school in Birmingham
at the time. It Is said that after leav-
ing Decatur the men went to Birming-
ham, where. in some way. they met
the boy, gained his confidence, and
told him they would show him the
world II he would help them to beat
his father out of sum OF money.
1.-THE men brough the boy through De-
catur some days ago" said Mr.. Norton.
They came here from Birmingham on
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
and stopped here to change trains for
the Southern Road. They had had the
boys head shaved in order TO prevent
