PRISONER DIES ON
EYE OF PARDON

John Kirkland, under 22-year SEN
tence for mrrder, died yesterday morning
at a local inf1rmary. 1t is claimed that
through the efforts of Kirklands friends
a pardon was about to be granted to the
young man.
1t is alleged that Kirkland killed a man
about three years ago in Shelby county.
The general sentiment in this city seems
to be that Kirkland shot the man in self
defense, as the fellow had threatened
to kill kirkland and went for his pistol.
1t is alleged that when Kirkland saw
him returning he supposed he had come
to kill him. so he drew his pistol and
shot first.
When he was tried in the criminal
court he was sentenced to % years inn
prisonment, however, and the case was
appealed While his friends. who be-
eved he had shot the man in self-de-
Tense, were attempting to get a pardon
for himfhe became i'll and was brought
to a hospital in Birmingham. Just on
the eve of his pardon, when he would
have been made a free man, his illness
grew worse and resulted in death.
He was a young man and is survived
nv a widow and three little children, who
live at Pelham.

Dessemer. July 14.-(Special)--Co
siderable interest has been aroused in
Bessemer in regard to the meeting Oh
the Board of Trade which will be heio
tomorrow afternoon. Several matters
of Importance will come up and IL Is
understood that some action Will be
taken in the matter of union depot
which has been hanging fire for sew
eral months. 1t will be remembered
that several weeks ago Secretary Gum
Of the board received letter from
tho president of the railroad commits
sion stating that the matter had prac-
tically been shelved. Citizens of the
city are indignant over the matter as
they feel that the amount OF business
transacted by the different railroads
in Bessemer warrants better depot Ia
ciities. At present Bessemer has not
these but 1t is the intention of the
board to keep working until such are
secured.
The question of whether the city
will make an exhibition al the Ohio
Valley exposition In Cincinnati or not
will come up. Several plants in the
district are understood to BIO anxious
to make an exhibit and 1t is con-
sidered that an exhibit would be a
valuable advertisement of the city.
TIL ere will probably be some commit
tee reports made and acted upon. The
meeting will be an important one and
every member of the board is urged
to be present.

lily of her death. it is nearly two months
later than the death notice published in
London. The letter follows:

MANY TICKETS SOLD
FOR BENEFIT GAME

Up until last night $3.50 worth of tickets
had been sold for tomorrow's ball game,
the proceeds of which are for the bene-
mt of the widow of the late Police Scout
L. D. Camp. The game is to be played
between the Birmingham police team and
Travellers team and will be called to-
morrow afternoon at $3.50 o'clock at the
West End diamond.
The idea Of giving the proceeds of a
beneflt ball game to the widow and two
infant orphans Of the late Policeman
Camp has met with approval every
where and is steadily gaining In popu-
larity. Camp was killed a few weeks
ago while in the discharge of his duty
at Elyton. He and his partner raided a
craps game and Camp was shot down
in his tracks and died in few minutes.
Every member of the police departments
from Chief Bodeker down is taking the
greatest interest in the game and work
ing every minute to raise a large sum
of money for the widow and orphans as
possible. Chief Bodeker and Barney Phil
lips. manager of the tesm. are greatly
elated over the success which the sale
of tickets are meeting. They anticipate
a sum of several hundred dollars to be
raised by tomorrow afternoon.
The two teams are preparing them
selves for the battle royal and those wig
go to the game will be given ample en-
tertainment as well as helping a good
cause.
