STEAL $500 FROM EXPRESS CONTAIN Cullman Office Entered and Haul Made By Shrewd
 Thief

Cullman. April 11.-(Special.) )-The office of the Southern Express company in this city was entered last night by burglars and $500 in checks and money was taken.
 Agent A. c. Kinney had just finished his report late in the afternoon yesterday, but finding that it would be impossible to get the report off last night placed the money and checks in the safe, and 1t was not until nearly noon today that the rob bery was discovered. John Heinze, German employe of. Agent Kinney, was sleeping in the back room of the express company's office, and the robber went about his work in such a quiet manner that the old man, who was sleeping in the back room, was not even in the least disturbed.
 The loot consisted mostly of currency, and only a small amount of it was in checks An investigation by the police showed that the combination lock on the Express company's safe had been bat tered either with hammer or chisel. Be cause of the fact that the police are un- able to find any evidences that the house was broken into gives rise to the belief that whoever the robber could have been he must have opened the door with key or else possessed a skeleton key which would unlock any door. This also gives rise to the belief that whoever committed the robbery must have lived in or near Cullman, and was familiar with the sur roundings. Nothing was broken except the lock on the safe, little or no damage being otherwise done to the safe. Route Agent Rosson and Superintendent Minor will be notified of the matter at once and a strenuous effort will be made to run the robber to earth.

Afternoon Session

Representative Walden's bill to provide for the correction of pension lists by nav ing the various county grand jurles an- nua1ly go over the lists in their respective counties passed the senate this after noon by vote of 21 to O. The measure Is identical with a similar one by Senator Plowman, which was passed in the upper house several days ago.
 The Smith measure authorizing an ap- propriation of S100,000 for the addition of Q north wing to the capitol was like wise passed at the afternoon session by a vote of 16 to 2 Senators Fite and Norman alone opposing the measure.
 While these two measures were the dis tinct features of the afternoon session of the upper house, the Percy measure pro- viding for the pensioning of police was of no less importance. The bill applies solely to the cities of Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery, and it provides method of having those cities pay tribute tp efficient police and fire officials.

SILENT WITNESSES
 IN PEARCE CASE Riddled and Bloody Cloth ing Displayed WOMAN ON STAND Ada Kennedy Testifies for Dr. Pearce Claiming That Her Brother
 Fired the First
 Shot

Anniston, April r.-(special)-Grue- some evidence in the form of bloody clothing. bullets, weapons and other si- lent witnesses to the dire tragedy were produced in the courts of the trial of Dr. John E. Pearce, principal in the famous Pearce-Kennedy feud case this morning.
 The clothing of the two dead men was simply riddled with bullet holes, and 1t was held up in the court room by at torneys for the prosecution in their effort to show that the two dead men had been shot in the back, the substantiation of this contention being regarded as ;la- terial factor in the theory of conspiracy. Despite the rainy weather the circuit court room was again crowded to it's utmost capacity with witnesses in the case, veniremen and interested specta- tors.
 No material witnesses were introduced Tuesday morning, none of them having been eye e-witnesses to the tragedy. The testimony had to do for the most part with the topography around the scene of the killing.
 The attorneys are planning to play trump hand when they take the case in the effort to contradict the evidence of Leon Dyer, the 17-year-old boy who is regarded as the star witness for the state, and with this end in view they have sent out attachments for Bill and Al Harrell, two young men living near the scene of the crime, whom they think will swear to the falsty of Dyer's testimony.
 Young Dyer graphically described the approach to the scene of the killing. He said that as the Pearce caravan reached the obstruction in the road where the two dead Kennedys stood he heard the stentorian voice of Bill Kennedy, the aged father and grandfather, shout shoot" Dr. Pearce acting forthwith. He also said he saw Cross Pearce jump upon a log and shoot Shelt Kennedy, remarking, Did you see that try to shoot me after he was down?' He also said he heard young Kennedy moan, "Oh, mama or ''On, Mollie,'' the exact words being indistinct.
 Ada Kennedy the woman in the case was pleaced on the witness stand this afternoon, testifying for the defense. She stated that her brother and nephew, the dead men. fired before Dr. Pearce shot. She got down on the floor and made diagram showing the situation where the shooting took place, and quoted Shelt Kennedy as saying. "We come here to shoot
 Other witnesses were introduced but nothing of material interest was brought out.
 The case will probably not get to tho jury until Thursday.
