EVADING SERVICE

While ON the stand yesterday afternoon,
testifying in the Wholesale Grocers' case,
Samuel Phillips Of Memphis gave an ac-
count of how he escaped in Birmingham
from service in the Clabaugh case against
the association several years ago. He was
told by the court that he need not answer
the question OF tile district attorney as to
how he evaded service, but the witness
laughingly said he did nor mind. The wit
ness had already amused the spectators
with constant witty speeches. The witness
said that he was in Birmingham and heard
OF summons being out
Il was told thai deputy was at the
Country CLUB, one ot Sid Lees store, one
at the Hillinan hotel, one at the Louis
Vile and Nashvilel station, and one at the
Terminal station. So | left the city on my
own volition after getting that informa-
tion from a criend."
BY the District Attorney: lis it not a
fact that you went down a fire escape
from the Hillman netel?"
By the Witness. MIR. Street in large
city there are various avenues by which
one can depart of ones own volition.'
That reply, practically confessing the
charge of .he district attorney about the
fire escape. caused much merriment In tile
court room.

sentenced to death, the date for the execu-
ton being June IL.
Several respites were granted after the
