Each

The three Walker brothers arrested
Sunday morning and charged with the
highway robbery of Fl. C. Pannell, who
lives at East Birmingham. were yes
terday released from the city jail on
500 bond each.
Following the story told by Pannell
and E. NJ. Walker Sunday morning in
the office of the chief of police concern
ing the alleged robbery. officers went to
the scene of the holdup at Ard street and
LIST avenue. quart bottle of whisky
vas found, also a small ivory handled,
silver dagger. After an analysis of the
whisky. it was found that 1t was heavily
doped.
Pannell alleges that he was forced to
drink of this whisky until he was in such
condition that he could not resist the
attack of the three boys, and that they
then took his money from him and beat
him up. The Walkers however, say that
Pannell was drunk and asked them to
carry him home, and that when they got
to the top of the hill at Forty-third
street, he attacked them with a knife.
Detectives have been detailed TO make
thorough investigation of the matter
and report to Chief Bodeker. Pannell
says that he will prosecute the three

O'NEAL BELIEVES STATE SHOULD
HAVE SPECIAL DETECTIVE FUND

The employment of special detec-

ment which the governor made with
reference to a recent killing in Sum
ter county about which there have
been few facts established.
Verne Tut. prominent citizen of
Sumter county. was killed by one or
more negroes. The white citizens of
TUFTS community, it was reported, sue
ceeded in catching one of the alleged
murderers and lynched him. 1t happend
during the governors visit to the
north and upon his return he immedi-
ately began an investigation.
He wrote to Sheriff John p. Ramsey
of Sumter county and to other officials
of that county but up to this time has
received no definite information con-
corning either the killing of Tut or
the negro. He has again written for
information and IL is probable that he
will at once order investigation of
the crime
SO far as can be learned no real facts
have been ascertained with reference
to the killing and the matter was sup
posed to have been quieted when the
governor began his investigation. He
declares that he is determined to get at
the real facts in the case

tried showed that there basis in fact law, for
this discrimination, and this of the grounds

Mr. Nesbitt does deny this Discrimination but he
undertakes to obscure minimize it. by showing that

articles embraced in these acts it does not exist to
all of them, and he mentions by Of the art-

He begins with poetic quotation can paraphrase

there are some true things in it, but the important
things are not true and the true things not i'm

Even as Mr.. Nesbitt begins with poetcal lines, he
continues to the end with liberal of the poets
license in dealing with the facts 1t is far from to
suggest or imply that Mr. Nesbitt has made any de-
liberate INTERPRETATIONS but do say that Mr. Mes
bits treatment of this whole rate question has been
superficial and one-sded He has stated the question
from the standpoint of critic alone. | do not doubt
that he has worked himself up believe that the Louis

that had rights in this controversy. 1t fur

about what it should charge for the of its property
