all thought Bob Clements was the guilty man and that he should be ar rested.
 Rufus Luker. Bob Ciements's brother-in-law. suggested that he would swear out e warrcnt before Jus tice John Helms. Justice Helms said that this would not do on account of Lukers' relationship. According to the witness. John Helms left the store, not saying what he was going to do, and went to Justice w. J. Days and swore out the warrant against Bob Clements himself. After hearing of this, the wit ness admitted saying that 1t looks like John Helms is going to get that | reward"
 The Coroner's Jury. c. W. Bell, a. member of the first coroners jury that investigated the Edmondson murder a short time after it occurred. testified that Bob Clem- ents was the first witness examined by the coroner, and that Clements was be- fore this coroners jury twice on that day as a witness.
 "The first time Bob testified before the jury" said the witness. "he swore that Tom Edmsndson and his wife got along peaceably together"
 The second time Bob Clements gave | evidence before the coroner's jury, ac- cording to the witness, Clements said: From Edmondson was jealous of his wife on account of Henry Culbreath. and every other man. and that Ed mondson had frequently said he would kill his family and burn everything up, that Edmondson was also Iea,ous Of me on account of his wife," Tom Johnson. another member of this coroners' jury, testified to the same as MT. Bell.
 John Lenox, another member of the coroner's jury. corroborated the other witnesses regarding the two stories Bob Clements had told the coroner's jury.
 The State closed the rebuttal with the evidence of W. T. Stringer. He tes- tifed that he helped to search for the Edmondsons after the fire and that Bob Clements was also in the search and that he and Clements walked to- gether
 Said the witness: "I suggested that we search the place in the strip of broom sage where little Nettie Ed mondson was afterwards said to have been killed. Bob Clements said that would be useless for 1t has been searched twice already.
 The witness testified that on the statement of Bob Clements the place was not searched. The searching par ty of about fifty men disbanded at that time and went home.
 This spot of sedge grass in question Is said to be the place where Bob Clements caught Nettie Edmondson and stabbed her to death by sticking A knife in her chest and cutting her on the neck and then left her body lying in the sedge all day an dthat night put the body in the house and burnt 1t with the other bodies. It was after the fire that the search was made and after the body of Nettie Is supposed to have been removed from this sedge field
 As a rule. Clements has the sympa- thv of the people insthe Decaturs, but nearly every person from near his home are confident that he Is the gull ty man.

 New York, Feb. 27-(Special.)- Judge Thomas. of the Surrogate's Court. was moved to tears today by the plea of Mildred Loeb. 10 years old, who is living at the Hotel St. Andrew. that he send her to her uncle in Germany. Mrs. Lena Loeb, the child's mother, committed suicide January 2s at 25 West 11th Street, and left to Mildred her 14 year old brother, Felix Loeb, each about 320.000. and expressed a wish that they should be cared for by her brother. Dr. Adolph Frei, of Hei- delberg University. Her husbands brother. simon Loeb, of Montgomery, Ala, put In a claim, his lawyer saying that his client was not averse to hav- ing the children sent abroad, but want ed their inheritance to remain in this country.
 Mir. Loeb is Retfcent
 Much interest is being. taken In Montgomery in the decision of Judge Thomas In New York, relative to the disposal of the children of Mrs. Lena Loeb. former resident of the city.
 MT. Simon Loeb, when seen last night at his home, stated that he had nothing whatever to add to the tele- gram from New York. As far as he knew the message contained the pro- ceedings up to date, as he had re- ceived no message from his attorneys in New York of a decision in the mat ter. .s'.'
 The body of Mrs. Loeb. after her death in New York, was brought to Montgomery for interment. Simon Loeb, following her wishes. then filed papers whereby he sought to have himself appointed guardian of the two children In New York city. He ex- pressed himself as being of the opinion that Mildred Loeb referred to in the telegram was hardly old enough to know her own mind as to whether 1t would be better for her to be sent to Germany or back to her former home in Montgomery.
 The decision of Judge Thomas is awaited by the relatives of Mrs. Loeb and a large circle of Montgomery friends, with intense interest

the twenty federated states. His term
would have expired in 1910. He was elect
