charges OF being implicated in the Jail
delivery Sunday night. which allowed-the
escape of Walter Lawhorn, Tom Lindsey
and Mack Richardson, three negroes
charged with serious offenses. The names
OF the persons have been held from the
public pending a further investigation.
Sheriff Horace Hood has announced
that he has found where two saws were
purchased by negroes and also the house
where Lindsey went after he and his
partners sawed from the jail and escaped
by scaling a brick wall.
Radical changes will be made at the
county jail as the result of the escape,
and it is probable that w. M. Mccain,
night guard, who was on duty at the
time the men sawed through two sets of
bars, will be discharged and another
given his position. Sheriff Hood cannot
understand how the men could saw
through the bars and escape if the guard

Montgomery, April --tSpecial.)--in
affirming the case of the Montgomery
Eank and Trust company against Alex
e. Walker, state superintendent OF
banks, appealed from the Covington
chaneery court the supreme court to-
day upheld every feature of the state
banking law.
The opinion of the court was written
by Mr.. Associate Justice Anderson, who
declared that the banking department
has the right to seize insolvent banks,
the right to bring suit for the recovery
cf property and assets of insolvent
banks, and that the state has power
to vest in the banking board authority
to summon before 1t officers of any
bank to show cause why 1t should not
be liquidated.
The case grew out of an effort on
the part of Superintendent Walker TO
recover 10000 worth of collateral from
the Montgomery Bank and Trust COM
pany, alleged to have been held by the
Montgomery bank against the bank OF
Geneva, which became insolvent year
ago
The decision is in some respects similar
to another which the supreme court put
out some weeks ago. the tive decisions
making the state banking laws sound in
every essential detail.
The supreme court today reversed and
remanded the case of Marx Smith against
the state of Alabama, appealed from the
Gadsden city court. Smith, White man
OF Gadsden, was given 40 years in the
penitentiary for the murder OF his
brother-in-law.
The case was reversed on the ground
that the trial judge had erred in charging
the iury. that If they had a reasonable
doubt as to whether or not the defendant
was insane they need not further consid-
er his plea of not guilty by reason of in
sanity.
