 Bessemer, July 23.--(Special.)-- Charlie Drummond, a negro charged with being implicated in the burglary and attempted burning of the home of W. D. Lanier several weeks ago, was captured this morning in Ensley and brought to Bessemer in the afternoon for his preliminary hearing, which was held before Judge E. II. Lopez. The negro was bound over to the grand jury under the charge of arson in the first degree without bail. On a sec ond charge of burglary and grand lar bond. Judge White, the negro first arrested, was brought here from the county jail and repeated before the court the testimony which he had pre- viously made to the detectives and which caused his arrest.
 It seems that White, immediately after his arrest, confessed to the de- tectives and in his confession impli- cated Charley Drummond. It seems, according to Whites testimony, that Drummond entered the house by the window and let him in at the back door. He further swore that Drum nond fired the house and that he was 100 yards from the house at the time that Drummond set it on fire. He also said that the two went to East Bcs- semer and divided the spells.
 IL xr,i1l time of the burning the citizens of Bessemer were much stirred up over the outrage and at one time violence was feared. There was no trouble to- day. The officers believe that they haue the two negroes practically con- victed and that when they come to trial it will go hard with them.

Things looked gloomy, but the fans went wild when Bessemer pound ed the Grasselli twirler and secured two runs. After the first inning Tucker pitched great ball, keeping the hits scattered and tightening like a drum when the occasion demanded it. He was well backed up by the "stone- wall infeld."
