 Twice in the Magistrate


 Courts
 J. E. Gray, a farmer of this county, yesterday filed suit in the Jefferson circuit court against J. E. Simmons, "a local grocer, in which he prays for $5,000 as damages for alleged humil- iation and damaged reputation, which he says he suffered when he was ar , rested at the instance of Simmons on two charges, the plaintiff being &C., quilted of both of them.
 Gray's attorneys, Irving and M. L.. Reinberger, filed the suit and allege that Simmons on November 2, 1910, made an affidavit in Mag strate Fraz- ier's court, charging Gray with malic- ious mischief He was released on h's own recognizance and on Novem- Der 14, was acquitted. After his ac- quittal in this court, plaintiff charges that Simmons had him arrested on the same day of his acquittal in Magis- trate Long court, on a charge of trespass. He was also acquitted of this charge on November 2S.
 It is understood that Gray is on a small farm in this county, which he claims to be h's own property, but Of which Simmons claims to be the legal owner.

says Ethridge paid $3,S00 for his mercantile business at that place and that when he asked h;m where he got the money he said he sold some property to a man named Daws. MT. Nixon told him that he knew DawS in Drew county and that he never had E$3 800 in his life According to the Prosecutor on further cross eXamna- tion, Ethertdge declared that $2,000 of the money had been given to DaWs iby Lee Hardy, but the check was not made payable to Ethridge. It was a bus ness transaction strictly between Ethridge and Daws, so Ethridge told MT. Nixon. At the county jail last night Ethridge strongly denied ever having made any such statement to the Prosecting Attorney, but he said he denied it when asked him.
 Did He Meet McVay!
 According to statement of Cullen McVay, brother of the slain man, Ethridge took a drink with Albert McVay and others in a local saloon on the Saturday morning before the assassination of Albert McVay. At that time, Cullen McVay says, he in- troduced him to his late brother The McVays, who still live in this city, declared that they have always sus- pected Ethridge of the murder of their brother, but could never get any definite information to warrant his arrest. Former Sheriff C. M. Phil pot, worked on the Ethridge theory for some weeks, but he stated yes- terday that every effort he made to get sc ne clue that might lead to Eth ridges arrest failed. He sad he could not arrest any man unless he had sufficient evidence to warrant it
 It is stated that the officer in Tex as, who first learned of the Ragland confession and who was directly re- sponsible for the arrests at Green vile and Edna, Texas, will received the reward of $200 offered by the state for the arrest and conviction of McVay's murderer. The payment of the reward, however, is said to de- pend on the conviction of the accus- ed man. Five hundred dollars was recently deposited in local bank by the McVays as additional reward for the Texas official

He is prominently con- nected, having some influential rela- ives at Monticello and Wilmar. He is six foot tall and of fine physique. He wore handcuffs when brought to the jail yesterday.
 Withhold Judgment.
 Senator H K. Toney, after spend- ing several hours with Ethridge in the county jail last night, during which time he went over his case with him, made the following state ment:
 My client will completely vindi- cate himself of the terrible charge against him when given an oppor- tunity to do so in the court. In the meantime he asks that the public opinion be withheld until his side ot the case can be heard. I firmly be- lieve that an awful mistake has heel made in this case and that when thu
