DBWYRE IS GIVEN
 15 YEARS BY JURY
CASE HAS BEEN ON TRIAL FOR, AL MOST A wEEK-ATTORNEYS AN NOUNCE THAT AN APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN

The jury in the George Dewyre murder ing at 10 o'clock, after having been out since 9:3O o'clock Monday night, report ing that DeWyre had been guilty of murder in the second degree and recom- mendng a sentence of 15 years at hard labor.
 Allen & Bell, who have been conducting the defense will enter a motion for a new trial on several grounds, partly on the ground that the defendant was not in the courtroom during his entire trial, as the law provides he should be, but was in the county jail The defense had to make showings for number of witnesses who were not enabled to attend the trial in person, which also may be entered as grounds for a new trial.
 DeWyre shot and killed Engineer Rob- ert Herring, who was engineer of the Southern railroad train on which he was head brakeman at Pinkney City about nine months ago.
 A plea of not guilty by reason of in sanity was entered by DeWyre's attor- neys, but 1t is believed that the jury in the case disregarded the plea and took cognizance of an element of self-defense in the. killing. The trial took up the division of the criminal court, Judge s. L. Weaver presiding, all non-jury dock cts being set aside.

SPENCER BUILDING
 ROAD IN HONDURAS
NEPHEW OF FORMER SOUTHERN RAILWAY PRESIDENT IS IN BIR- MINGHAM FOR CONSULTATION WITH LOCAL RAILROAD MEN

Edmont Spencer, a nephew of the late Samuel Spencer, president of the South ern Railway company, who is general manager of the Inter-Oceanic Railway and Navigation company of Honduras, Central America, is in Birmingham.
 He is here for the purpose of consult ing with local railroad men and others In regard to the line in Honduras. MT. Spencer says the government has given the new company a grant of several hun dred thousand acres of land in Honduras through which the line is to be extended. In addition further grant Is to be made when the line is completed and in opera ton. The company also proposes to op- crate a line of steamships from the port of Mobile to Honduras. carrying Amer ican products to that country.
 In speaking of the new railroad MT. Spencer says the future of the Central American countries is intertwined with the southern part of the United States and that the destiny of the Central coun- tries Is largely dependent upon the south. He says the country Is rich in future prospects and with the cooperation of American business men the railroads of that country, with other ventures, will assist greatly in the commercial rela- tions and enrichment of the two sec tions.
 The line which penetrates the center of Honduras. according to MT. Spencer. has been completed a greater part of the way, and a. distance of only about 100 miles remains to be completed which will open up a vast tract of undeveloped country for trade purposes. He says the wealth stored In the recesses of that country which could be easily realized in the south and middle east Is beyond calculation.
 MT. Spencer has resided In Honduras for some time and Is well acquainted with the natural resources of the place. He believes firmly that the greatest degree of prosperity will come to Mobile and Birmingham when the commercial spirit strikes that country. .t. He will be here for several days looking over the Birmingham district.
