SYMPATHY IS AROUSED

Anniston, January 23.-(Special. )-Chan- | cellor W. w. Whitesde has postponed in
 definitely the trial of the case that has grown out of the fight of William K. | Kennedy and his wife, Mamie Kennedy, | for the possession of William K. Ken nedy, Jr., the 4-year-old child of the two, who are now living in separation. The child is still being kept in the coun- | ty jail with his father, and the mother
 seeks to reclaim it from what she con-
 siders unwholesome surroundings. The case was continued when called in Chan cellor Whiteside's court, however, be- cause of the fact that the father will
 have to appear before Judge Thomas w. | Coleman in the city court on charge of complicity in the murder of his son I and grandson, Shelton J. and Sarge Ken
 nedy, for which pr. John E. Pearce is held as the principal member of an al- | legged conspiracy. This case has been set | for Tuesday.
 | number of church workers visited the prison on Sunday afternoon for the pur- i pose of holding divine services with the | prisoners. The section of the jail in
 
 confined was visited by them and the case of the young child elicited considerable | concern on the part of the evangelists. | The child is almost constantly weeping, I it Is said and his condition is most pitt able, they say.
 | A sale of some land that belongs to | Ada Kennedy, daughter of William Ken l nedy and sister of one of the dead men. | which was to have been held Monday, was also postponed. The woman is ! charged with being in league with Pearce ! and the other alleAed oonspirators and I she will also be arraigned, at the prelim-
 mary hearing. She has figured in the various troubles growing out of the Pearce-Kennedy feud and will be a cen | tral figure in the trial.
 | This case promises to be one of the most interesting within the criminal his | tory of Calhoun county. Already num- | Der of persons have arrived in the city | from the county near the scene of the | pitched battle to attend the hearing, and | the city court room promises to be | thronged with curious spectators through l out the trial. As result of this 1t is said
 to be probable that the hearing will be
 conducted in the circuit court room, which
 has larger seating capacity.
