WEST TO BE TRIED
 FOR NEGRO'S DEATH

Albertville, April 26.-(Special) )-The criminal docket of the circuit court was taken up at Guntersvile this week and about tine most important case is that of Will West, a white man of Guntersville, charged with the murder of Will Starnes, a negro: the crime taking place about one year ago near Cunt ers>!te.
 From the facts gathered West was tried and convicted something over year ago on the cnaI ge of stealing hides and was sentei oed to serve term in the p,ri- teniary, end 1t was mainly through the evidence of Starnes that he was convicted. West appealed his case to the supreme court which reversed the decision of the lower court and a new trial was ordered because the indictment did not specify the kind of hides that West had stolen. A short time before the second trial Starnes was shot and killed from ambush while blowing in his field. No clew could be found who did the act so the white peo- rle of Guntersville, who were indignant over the crime, secured a Pinkerton de- tective from Memphis who went to work on the case and in three weeks investi- gation West was arrested charged with the crime.
 E. o. McCord of Gadsden is defending West and Solicitor Appleton is prosecut- ing.
 It is almost certain that no attempt will be made to hold a liquor election in Mar shall county as it is a certainty that if a petition was circulated 45 per cent of the voters would not sign it. Marshall coun- ty has been dry for a number of years and will still remain so. The county IS practically free from blind tigers.
