GET PETTY THIEVES
POLICE HAVE FIVE, WHO ARE
 SENTENCED.
Mary LampIey is Seen to Enter . Will sOn Street House at a.. m. Two Suspects Are
 Sentenced.

It was an evil day for the petty thieves of Montgomery at the police court yesterday afternoon. A plethora the Sb tae deOke{ and eee and a yere ned or sentenced--if not for larceny, then for lettering, vagrancy, or trespass.
 The negroes on trial were mostly old went long way they believe in breaking up the. depredations of burg lars. which have been conducted stead fly for the past few weeks.
 Mary Lampley, 0 negro woman, was probably the most consistent of the old offenders. The police knew Mary of old, when she worked her fruit stand" game, to the dismay of the
 Her custom, it is told, was to hang in the shadows about the fruit stands, and when at night as the streets grew dull, would relax into snooze or step around the corner for a drink. she would steal from the shadow, and help herself to the luscious freight of the stands.
 She had been caught at this, the po- lice tell, more than once, but had sunk into obscurity of apparent innocence for some time, until. at about 4 o'clock Saturday morning Detective Avant and officer Meredith, alert for the burglars, saw her slip into the front door of a Wilson street residence.
 Meredith. going to the back. and AVduI ID the LEOHlS AcQScQ H6E III. put she slipped into the vestibule, between the outer and the inner front doors, and when Oficer Avant went to the side of the house, she ran from the vestibule to the street. Then the of- ficer saw and captured her, and she was locked up.
 She was tried on the charges of tres pass and larceny. having stolen an umbrella earlier in the night from a porch, the same being found on her, and was fined in each case.
 Wilbur Sullivan, and Charlie Jackson, were suspected petty thieves or burg lars, who were caught during Friday night, and who were sentenced in Sat urday's court for various misdemean- ors as lettering or vagrancy. or tres pass, and will be held out of mischief on the chain gang for some time to come. Charley Johnson was caught trying to steal a pair of shoes from a South Court street store and was also fined.
 The arrests and sentences are evil dence of the efforts of the police to locate and to put to a stop the burg laries of the pase few weeks. Of late, with every policeman on the alert. the of the suspicious white and negro class are arrested, and locked up on charges of loitering or vagrancy, and if unable to tell coher- entity of their business, are fined.

CONVICTED OF
 CONSPIRACY Three Defendants Are
 Held. FRANK Go0LSBY ACQUITTED Sentence Will Be Imposed by fudge Jones This Week. It h Alleged That Bud and Eben GooIs- by and Elem Richsrds Con- spired to Assault Tobe
 Mitchell.

Only an hour aut. the jury in the Goolsby conspiracy case. in the Uni- ted States Court yesterday afternoon returned verdict convicting three of the defendants, Bud and Eben Goolsby, and Elem Richards. and acquitting the aged Frank Goolsby.
 Though the convicted prisoners have not been sentenced. 1t is probable that the penalties will be bestowed by Judge Jones during the next week. The penalty, by the United States statutes, for the crime of conspiracy, is fine, not exceeding s5,000, and penitentiary Imprisonment, for a term not to ex- ceed ten years.
 The sentence to be inflicted is with in discretion of Judge Jones.
 The Goolsbys and Richards. residents of Covington County. have been on trial since Wednesday. for conspiracy, as embodied, 1t is charged in their as- sault on Tobe Mitchell, an old neigh Dor of theirs.
 Conspiracy, as defined by the Fed eral statutes. entails any organized at. tempt to intmidate a citizen from the exercise of his constitutional rights. The constitutional right in the Mitch ell instance, which, 1t Is alleged, was sought to be abridged, was that of free speech. The contention of the State was that the Goolsbys and Richards were incensed becauBe Mitchell had re- ported to revenue agents that the oth- CTS operated an illicit still. It was to intimtdate him, is the charge, from furher revelations of their misconduct. that they assaulted him.
 The defense. however, declares that the fight between Mitchell and the de- fendants was not the result of a con- spiracy or reconciliation. but grew out of a quarrel in which Mitchell was the aggressor.

 WITH Y. M. c. A.
Colonel c. W. Bain, Man Whose Tal- ents Have Elicited Most Fa- vorabIe Comments Through

 cessful orators of Kentucky. He Is employed by the Alkahest Lyceum Bu- reau of Atlanta, but not to represent them at this address. The Y. M c. A secured his services because he was passing through Montgomery.
 He has chosen for his subject, "The Safe Side of Life for Young Men," or 'If Could Live Life Over" Colonel Bain is just in his prime. doing the best work of his life. He has lectured for hundreds of Chautauquas, schools, colleges and religious institutions. The universal report is. "He pleased. in- structed and did us good. We want him again." Sam Jones said: He is one of the purest men ever knew. He is all wool. yard wide and foot thick"
 Rev. A. A. willetts says: His lan- guage is chaste and beautiful, his sem timents pure and lofty and his illus trations refined. His lectures do un- speakable good. God speed him."
 Colonel Bain leads into a light of & new vision as some one has said: His lecture was a golden mill stone in my journey of life. He showed me how wisdom, poetry humor and eloquence could be smelted in the furnace of a fine heart by the fires of a holy pur- pose. and minted into coins of choicest speech to enrich souls for all time"
 The men of Montgomery who will be fortunate to hear this man will doubt less be inspired to nobler purposes. It Is the desire that every young man will take this opportunity for seldom does the r. Nj. O., A. ever have the privilege to have such a noted, popular and forceful speaker to address the regular Sunday meetings.
 All men are cordially invited to be present, and there will be no charges, other than the usual collection.

Mir. Corker's Poem.

Commenting on the program of Alumnae Day, which was given at the theatre in that city Thursday, The Eu- faula Times of Friday pays this trib- ute to MT. Corker, who has relatives and a large circle of friends in Mont gomery:
 When Mir Ernest D. Corker was presented, every one present knew they we're to be delightfully."- entereained. but when he had prefaced hissstory of The old and the New with some beau tifully expressed tributes to Tennant Lomax, Glenn. c. Shorter, Lucien J. Walker, Dr. Wharton and others, those listeners felt that he had put his heart into his song and story as well as his brain and it's recital was even more beautiful in thought and word than they had anticipated.
 "It was the College history from 1854 LID to today and was a gem of poetry, oratory and tender thought and feel ing. The climax was the most beauti- ful and patriotic tribute to dear Flu faula that 1t could be possible for man to pay his home.
 "Mr. Corker is a genius, a man whose store of information on every subject is as full as his ideas are broad, his conceptions the best. and with a heart tender and true he is the citizen and friend of whom all Eufaula Is very proud"
