M ALLISTER GIVEN
 HIS HEARING TODAY
YOUNG MAN CHARGED WITH MUIR DER OF CONDUCTOR CRIMES TO HAVE HEARING BEFORE JUDGE J. H. BENNERS.

Gorden J. McAllister and c. A. Vogt. 10 days ago on the charge of having murdered Conductor J. z. Grimes at the Louisville and Nashville crossing near Thomas on the North Ensley car line, will be given a preliminary hearing be- fore Judge l. H. Benners of the inferior court Nthis morning at 10 o'clock. No doubt there will be a large crowd in attendance as the case has attracted widespread interest.
 It will be recalled that Conductor Grimes was shot from ambush with shotgun heavily loaded with buckshot when he stepped from his car to flag the cross- ing. Grimes was killed instantly and there followed hand-to-hand combat betweeS- Motorman Dorrough and one of the as- sassins, during the course of which Dor rough claims 10 have gotten a thorough description of the murderer.
 Apparently there were no clues left by the murderers but several days later Mo- Allister and Vogt were arrested in the Louisville and Nashville yards at Boyles for trespassing and when taken to iail 1t was found that McAllister filled the de- scription furnished by Motorman Dor rough Dorrough was called and he posi- lively identified McAllister as the man with whom he had had the fight. The coroner ordered that both of the young men be held.

NEGRO THOUGHT
 HE WAS A LIZARD
IT TOOK EIGHT MEN TO GET HIM OUT OF THE PATROL WAGON AT THE CITY JAIL AND LODGE HIM IN A CELL.

It took eight men to get a crazy negro out of the patrol wagon and into a eel at the police station shortly after o'clock yesterday morning. Over half an was also necessary to break up one of the seats in the wagon before he could be removed.
 The negro was taken in charge near the corner of Fourth avenue and Eigh- teenth street, having terrorized the ne- groes in that vicinity by his actions. He imagined himself lizard and would first crawl on his stomach and then follow with a great lizard-like spring.
 He was placed in the patrol wagon without difficulty but when the city jail was reached and the door of the wagon opened he was found to have lain down upon the floor and braced himself. There is a seat along each side of the wagon and he had rammed his head under one seat at the front of the wagon. His feet he had then braced under the oppo- site seat at the rear of the wagon
 All efforts to persuade him to walk out were of no avail. Then an effort was made to pull him out with the same result Three of the negro stevedores were then put to work trying to pull him out His madness, however had quad rupled his strength and it took 10 minutes of hard pulling to get onefeg from under the bench. Finally both legs were freed but he jerlxed them away and again braced himself.
  even then it took several minutes to get one leg free. Four men held on to this leg as it protruded out the doorway while two negroes pulled on the other and two more inside the wagon pulled on his arms and body.
 For several minutes the steady pull was kept up and the negro gradually lost his grip. The second he loosened he was started out of the wagon, but struggled so that he almost turned the vehicle over. It looked as if he was go- in gto whip the entire crowd when a stout white man suddenly secured full Nelson grip under his shoulders and neck and held him tight. It was then neces- sary for two men to hold his body. while six held his legs. but even at that he jerked the six about so that they looked like the tail of kite.
 It took but a few seconds, however, for the crowd to rush him into the jail office, through the corridor door, up to the sec ond floor of the prisoners cage and into a cell, after they once got started. In the struggle to get the negro out no ef- fort was made to abuse him, but he will undoubtedly be sore for few days from the amount of tugging necessary to pull him out.
