WHITE MURDERERS SUGGESTED

Not lack of theory, say the local noNoe. but too many plausible ones, Is sfle main trouble with the mysterious naurder of Monday night. Theories that look like facts present themselves at every turn, from suicide and an en- counter between the two men now dead to death at the hands of whites CT blacks novices in crime and hard ensd and experienced criminals.
 The main trend of belief now Is to murder by persons who came to the mouse. as Mrs. Spiegel has said and many believe. But the fact that Mrs. spiegel was not shot, as the men were. suggests the work of white men. who in cases of that kind have seldom been known to take the life of a woman simply to prevent her leaving the house 10 again give an alarm that has siready been sounded.
 That the persons who entered the house were crack shots Is shown by their handiwork. Weapons or the weapon used, was evidently one of high power. and ek high power pistol will make c powder mark at six feet. Tot there was not c powder mark on either dead man. The aim of the as- sassin or assassIns was perfect. The three shots that struck the men in the body and heads were aimed with dead ly certainty, every wound being nor tai.
 Such a case as negroes entering a house while the occupants were awake and dressed, to commit murder is practically unhaard oe. Negro mur- derers almost invariably creep in while Che intended victims are asleep and can be taken at e disadvantage The fact that both man were up, and above ali that two big men were in the room,

The TfpuhlN RaRtnn.

It seems that on December 31. 1908. two young men went to the Mon- arch Livery Company's stables on Fourth Avenue and engaged one- horse team. They drove of and the team has not been seen since 1t was seen in Goodwater.
 When the two men failed to return the team 6 private detective agency was consulted and a detective was put on the case. The detective followed the two men and the team as far as 0oodwater and 1t Is claimed today by tAa attorneys here for the defense that they lost it there and took up the trail of the two Phillips brothers who went from Eclectic. their home in Fillmore County, to Goodwater on business the kame day tho other two men were seen there. At any rate the officer and his companion went to the home of the Phillips boys and questioned them. ac. cording 10 Attorney Lun.
 The Phillips boys treated the whole matter as a joke. 1t is said. until the detective returned one night about ] o'clock and kidnapped" them aS the attorney expressed it.
 The detective agency obtained a war rant from the inferior criminal couri of Jefferson county for the arrest oi the young men. Under the law wher a warrant issued in one county te serv' ed in another it must be endorsed oy 1 fudge of the county in which it "a served. From all accounts . request was made of 8 judge in Fillmore county to endorse the warrant but when ne learned who it was against ana tnt nature of the charge he referred the Birmingham detective and his compan- ion to Judge Lancaster for endorse ment.

 The trial of the case at the special nearing on Monday. February 15 will bring a large number of witnesses here from Coosa and Fillmore counties and sensations are expected.
 It is said the two brothers were new er out of that community unless it was to visit Montgomery and that they have never been to Birmingham.

E VIEWING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

When women complain of being an
noyed on the street by having strange
men thrust their attentions upon them,
I think that nine times out of ten it
is partly-at least-the woman's own
fault
One hears women talk so much
about men that thrust their unwel-
come attentions upon lone, unprotect-
ed women that one would fancy such
creatures were quite common.
But are they? Is it the ordinary
thing for woman to be accosted and
followed on the street?
From my own experience-which by
the way includes year of work on a
morning paper, work which kept me
out until 2 and 1 O'Clock and some
times later-and from the experience
of a good many other women with
whom I have talked, I should certain
ly say that it was not.
OF course almost every woman has
had the unpleasant experience of hav-
ing some intoxicated man or rowdy
salute her, but if she passed by pay
ing no attention or looked at him very
disdainfully she probably had no fur
Their trouble.
And then of course maniacs, Jack
the huggers, and creatures of that sort
occasionally crop out in a community,
but they are monstroSitieS and the or
binary run of men should not be
judged by them.
der ordinary conditions L don't think
! that any woman who goes along the
street intent on her own affairs. look
ing at no one and doing nothing to
attract attention will have any trouble
with "mashers' night or day.
When any woman tells me about
having attentions thrust upon her on
the street I always wonder what kind
of a woman she is and think of what
a man once said to me on this SUBJ
, ject.
ing to find my way to the depot There
was no policeman in sight and being
to direct me.
He not only directed me but as he
was going in that direction himself
he carried my grip for me and saw
me safely aboard the train.
When 1 thanked him he said. I'D
like to do that sort of thing .oftener
but you're so apt to be misunderstood
, if Won do. Why, lots of women. if a
man does anything for them. think he
| is irving to fiirt with them and either
get terribly offended or else f1irt back
and put him in an entirely false po-
sition."
| Doubtless many times when women
by persistent attentions the mans
story would be very much like this

On the whole it seems to me that
