Anniston, January 24.-(Special.)- Several primordial passions of mankind mans love for woman. mother and fathers love for child, resentment at mans taking the life of fellow man, the right of individual domain. clan loyalty-all entered into the trial of Dr. John E. Pearce and associates who were placed on trial in the city court of Anniston Tuesday with the result that there are already evidences of one of the most sensational and interesting cases within the history of crime in Calhoun county.
 The case was called for preliminary investigation this morning before Judge Thomas W. Coleman of the city court. The attorneys in the case asked for a continuance until the afternoon, when the case was taken up in earn est
 Those who have been in the Calhoun county jail for several days on charge of conspiring to kill S. J. Kep- nedy and his son. Sarge Kennedy, who lived near Ohatchie, in this county, are Dr. Pearce. Cross Pearce, his son; w. K. Kennedy. father of the elder deceased Ada Kennedy, sister of the latter, and alleged affinity of Dr. Pearce: John Fuller. Lee Bain, Will Jenkins, Tom Jackson and John Eaton. Long before the case was called this morning the corridors of the courthouse were crowded the rain. sleet and snow of the morning being insufficient to keep away the crowd of curious spec tators. It was necessary to hold the hearing in the circuit court room where the auditorium has larger capacity than the room of Judge Coleman's court.
 Regardless of the outcome of the pre- liminary hearing, the final trial gives promise of hot legal battle. The de- fense Is represented by Tate X Walker and Knox, Acker. Dixon 6 Blackmon' while Solicitor Wiley c. Tunstall. Jr., is being assisted in the prosecution by Capt. A. P. Agee of this city and w.. c. Boykin of Gadsden. the two last named having been employed by friends of the two dead men.
 It will be remembered that the two Kennedys were killed at Peek's Hill, near Ohatchie. in this county, about A week ago, the shooting being the continuation of an old feud. growing out of the alleged unlawful relations existing between pr. Pearce and Ada Kennedy daughter of w. K. Kennedy, and sister of s. J. kennedy. Another cause of the trouble was dispute over land ownership over what was regarded as public road. Their trou- bles have been fought out in Calhoun county courts for many years and have resulted in various factional fights.

sherrod Discusses BilI

In g. letter received here from Senator Charles M. Sherrod, dated at Montgom- cry, he has the following to say concern ing the Greater Decatur" bill:
 Tn regard to the consolidation bill. will say that the only stand I have taken in the matter Is that have stated public ly that there can be no successful govern ment without the consent of the governed. By the governed I do not mean the politicians and office-holders, but the citi- zens with both personal and property interests. I have said, and still say, that I do not think 1t expedient to con- solidate the two towns if there Is large opposition to the movement in either town. I assure that I will support the measure if I can be satisfied that ma- jority of the citizens of each town de- sires it."
 There are in Montgomery today two committees from the Decaturs-one oppos- ing and the other favoring Greater De- catur.'' There is much interest being man. ifested in the Decaturs today over the re- suit of the conference which will be held in Montgomery between these committees and the committee of the state legisla- ture.
