TRIAL OF WALK Frs
COMES TO AN END
FATHER OF BOYS ALREADY CON-
VlcTED FOUND GUILTY OF CON-
PLlclTY AND is GIVEN TEN
YEARS.

Admission, May 15-(s Especial. 1.-The trial
of Fred Walker. sr.. jointly charged with
his two sons Charlie and Fred, Jr, with
the murder Of Alonzo johnson at Jackson
vile on the night of April 8, was finished
at a. m. Saturday, when the trial jury
returned a verdict fixing the old mani
penalty at 10 years IN the penitentiary.
The jury was given the case late in the
afternoon Of Friday, but did not reach a
verdict it is said. until about a. m.
Saturday. The jury was escorted by
Deputy Sheriff Rowland to the sleeping
apartments Of the Gilmore restaurant at
10 p. m. Friday and retired for the night,
finishing its work early Saturday morn
ing The trial of the old man began at
80 a. m. Friday.
This being the last of the cases for
the special jury week, the court took a
recess until a. m. Monday, when. 1t is
said, motions for new trials will be heard
In the Walker cases and also in the case
of Erwin Pope, convicted of the muir
der of J. B. McClurkin. If these motions
are overruled it is probable that the court
will at that time pass sentence on the
persons convicted.
The ending of these trials brings to
close a strenuous week, not only in the
court, but in the public interest as we'll.
1t is doubtful IL ever before in the his
tory of Admission there has been so much
public concern oentering around the court
trials in progress. This is especially true
in the case of Erwin Pope. who was
charged with killing J. B. MeClurlxin at
Oxford on the morning of April 20. And
it is of interest to state that while Popes
attorneys arss.asking a new trial for the
negro, new evidence is being discovered
by the state that will strengthen its the
Dry. Friday there was discovered near
Popes house and nearer the spot where
Pope was arrested on the morning after
the killing, a sack containing peas and
sorghum seed, which 1t is alleged Pope
stole from AIoClurkin's gin. This stun,
It Is said was found in sack to. which
chung cotton seed, and which strengthens
the theory of the state against Pope that
he was carrying cotton seed and other
stuff in a wagon from MoClurkn's gin
at the time of the killing. and that IL was
to conceal this theft that the murder
was committed
It Is said that one of the strong points
for a new trial in the case of Pope VIII

Hon. C. f. Bush, NJ. D., Inspector OF

bama Montgomery, Ala.
NV Dear sir:-I notice in your report
to Governor Conner you recommend Tor
jefferson county, in case they build a
new courthouse, that they place the eoan-
ty Jail on top of it.
This is a new and growing idea IN the
construction of courthouses and Jails- II
has come into vogue since the eonstruc-
ton of tall buildings has become so com
mon. The easy access by elevators from
the lower to the top floors of tie high
est buildings, and the safety and great
err economy of their style of construction
are bringing them into more general use
for many purposes.
1t is highly important for many rea-
sons that the persons confined in the jail
should be of easy and unobserved ac-
cess to the courthouse This point need
not be argued-it is necessity as well
as a convenience. The obieetionableness
In a neighborhood of having that class
of persons near residences and other
houses is more easny remedied by placing
them high above the common level. The
construction can be easily arranged to
keep them out of sight and hearing. A
kind of roof garden for sunlight and out
door exercise can be made on top.
1t is growing popular in high buildings
with easy access by elevators, to have
the kitchens and living rooms on the
upper levels. Al the apartments Tor
the taller, the cooking and eating could
be arranged on these floors
AS you say, too, the prisoners would
be out of reach of mob violence and be
much less able to escape.
If this mode of construction would be
begun in Alabama by jefferson county it
would readily be adopted elsewhere.
If you will have the county houses for
paupers Improved throughout the state,
brought up to the level of the Jefferson
county house. besides doing general good
you will relieve the state OF great ex-
pense of supporting many such persons
in the insane hospitals, where they do
not belong. The objectionableness of such
houses throughout the state in many
counties-I might say most counties
gives a general inclination of the Off
cials to unload them on the state. and
a very positive objection to placing any
respectable person in one of them. In
this field, as well as the jails. from my
position [ know there is great room for
you not only to interfere hut to give most
valuable instruction and advice.
In doing this kind of work honestly
and advisedly you hold a place which
will attract upon you, as you mention,
criticism and opposition. You may eX-
pect it. Most sincerely.
