WRONGFULLY
IMPRISONED
Hearing Of Dickens
Case.
NOT GUILTY OF CONTEMPT
Justice Simpson Renders an I'm
portant Opinion.
Prominent Mobile Man Has Been In
JAIN Since Last December on
q Charge Of Contempt of

Charles G. Dickens. of Mobile, was
wrongfully imprisoned for alleged con-
tempt OF court according to an opin-
ion by Mr.. Justice Simpson, Of the SUI
preme Court. rendered yesterday. and
should be released. although he must
comply with an order OF the court to
file q statement of his accounts.
Dickens. wealthy citizen OF Mobile,
has been imprisoned since early in De-
cember. 1908. by an order OF Chancellor
Thomas H. Smith. OF Mobile. who de-
clared that the defendant had been
guilty OF contempt Of court, In remov-
ing bonds which had been required to
be deposited when receiver had been
appointed to take over the custody of
his AFFAIRS. despite the fact. 1t was
shown, that the receiver order was
withdrawn.
The falling of Dickens in this, ac-
cording to the Supreme Court, was
wrong. although 1t was held that he is
guilty of contempt In refusing to file
a statement of accounts as required In
three seperate orders on May .. Noyem-
Der 4, and February rs.
Therefore. It was decided that these
orders should be obeyed. and the last
one, that Of January %, still holds in
force. So Mr.. Dickens must file his
statement, or be, in reality, guilty of
contempt. Thirty days Is granted in
which TO comply.
One clause OF Justice Simpsons opin-
ion is, in a way, momentous, In that Il
suggests that q matter for legislative
consideration be made of the length of
q jail term for contempt. There is no
provision for the maximum imprison-
ment in contempt cases. Dickens has
been in Jail for more than i've months.
Dickens Is the surviving partner of
q firm composed of himself, owning
one-third interest, and his brother, J.
o. Dickens. owning two"thirds. It was
alleged by the widow of ]. o. Dickens,
that Charles c. Dickens took over the
affairs of the firm, it's assets and ac-
counts, and endeavored to freeze out"
the interest of his brothers. heirs by
fling false accounts. More than $50. 600
was involved.
1t was alleged, that later. when d.
vision was sought, much of the assets
were converted into bonds, and that
with these bonds. Dickens fed. He was
captured in West Virginia and return
ed to Mobile.
Meanwhile. in accordance with the
order of the court. Dickens had filed
statements. purporting to be that of
his and his brothers accounts, and
which were alleged to have been false
and not in good faith.
He was Jailed on charges of con-
tempt in regards to the flight with the
bonds.

CAPTURES NEGRO
WANTED SINCE 1905

Deputy Sheriff w. A. Haynes yester-
dav captured Jerome Dorrice, a negro,
who for several wears has been a flu
gitive from justice. the grand jury
having returned an Indictment against
inal assault.
The fact that the negro was in this
vicinity was brought to Deputy Sheriff
Haynes some time ago. but when he
came to locate him 1t was found that
he was in Perry County and before he
could be apprehended the negro had
made his escape. He evidently thought
that he would be safer in Montgomery
than in the country, so he headed for
this, his home. and was nabbed by
Deputy Sheriff Haynes. as he was CON-
ing into the city. He has a reputation
of being O. very bad negro.

There has been an increase from 14S
to 211 In the number of persons on the
roll during the last year, an increase
from $2O2, 145 to $3O3. .5O5 in the amount
Of pensions granted.
The board Of trustees has increased the
maximum amount Of a retiring allow
ance from 5000 to $4,000. and has de-
cided to grant pensions to the widows OF
professors amounting to one-half of what
their husbands would have been entitled
to receive. Heretofore pensions for Wild
ows have been only promissory, but nu-
merous letters from professors and the
expressions of educators generally con-
vinced the trustees that no part of the re-
firing allowance system would be more
helpful and more appreciated than pen
sions to widows. Such pensions were
therefore raised from discretionary ones
to certain provision by the following
rule:
ANY person who has been for ten
years the wife Of a professor either in re-
