BOOZE PROVES
HARD PROBLEM
FOR JURISI

Judge -Dickey,' who is presiding in
Judge Cooper's division of the cir.
cult court, has had a complex-what
he would call, knotty-problem to
dispose. of. A barrel of. rum and
16 kegs of teer made up the corpor-
cal part of the problem.
Judge Dickey sat with this problem
or the uncorporeal part of tin
his chamber on from the court room
the other day and gravely considered
it. He read the bill of exceptions on
which the case Of the rum and the
is kegs of beer is to be appealed to
the tribunal which holds forth over
head, the supreme court.
BY this btill of exceptions, all the
papers, pleadings and exhibits max
ing up the record Of the case were
to be sent upstairs to the higher
court for review. The large supplies
Of beer and rum were exhibits in the
case .on its trial in the circuit court,
and so therefore if he signed the bill
of exceptions, some II horer with a
strong back and temperance inclina-
tions would have to be Entrusted with
the liquors for period of time long
enough for 1t to bel lugged up the
steps to the supreme court.
The problem in all its phases
Judge Dickey unused over He ana
lyzed it seriously and carefully. T.
II don't know" he at last confided
10 lawyer, II don't know whether
should sign this bill of exceptions
or. not OF course, the beer and rum
are exhibits in the case, and there
fore part of the record. But is it
necessary that they be- sent up?
Cant stipulation be entered into?
A barrel of rum and S16 kegs of, beer
to be sent up to the supreme court!e
And he fell again to musing.
Ultimately he decided the problem
in way which apparently satisfied
him. But, how he decided it is left to
guess at. No limit Is placed on the
number of guesses. .*
BY the way, Judge Dickey is said
to tie a strict prohibitionist. s,t@5f

SENSATION SPRUNG
IN PHAGAN TRIAL
Dorsey Claims Bloody Stick
Was PLANTED" in
Basement

Atlanta, August S.-A sensation was
sprung late today in the trial of Leo
Nj. Frank for the murder of Mary
Phagan, the little factory girl. when
Solicitor General Dorsey charged E. F.
Holloway, a witness for the defense
with planting" a bloody stick In the
basement where the girls body was
found. Mr.. Dorsey said this stick was
later found by representatives of ma
tional detective agency. The solicitor
general accused Holloway with at
tempting to implicate the negro Con
ley in the hope of obtaining a reward
1t developed late today that George
Epps newsboy friend of Mary Pha-
gan. had disappeared. The testimony
of Epps was desired by both sides ano
tonight police and court officers were
searching for him. 1t was not thought
he had left town.
Throughout today's session attorneys
for the defense continued their attacks
upon the testimony of James ConleS
and sought to show that the negro's
various stories differed so widely as moi
to be worthy of belief. Witnesses were
also introduced in an effort to con-
travent the testimony of Conley and
others as to Franks character Hol-
loWay was the last witness for the de-
fense today.

IBRICKELL DECLINES
TO GIVE MESSAGE:
Has Telegram From AttOr-
ney General McReynolds
HERE LAST NIGHT
State Attorney General Thinks 1t Dis
respectful to Late Senator to
Give Out Message Be-
fore the Funeral

Out of respect to the memory of the
late Senator Joseph T. Johnston. Rob
ert c. Brielzell, attorney general of Ala
bama, declined last night to make pub
lie the text of a telegram received bv
him late yesterday afternoon from United
States Attorney General McReynolds in
regard to the method of selection of a
man to fill Senator Johnston's unexpired
term.
Attorney General Brickel arrived in
Birmingham from Montgomery last night
and was seen at the Morris. He states
he came to Birmingham to represent the
state In federal court this morning when
the Louisville and Nashville rate cases
come up before United States Judge w. |.
Grubb.
For the same reason as his .declin-
alton to make public the telegram from
Mr.. McReynolds, MIR. Briekell declined
to make public any opinion he may
nave as to whether or not Governor
ONeal viii have to call a special cleo
tion or call an extra session of the
state legislature or by what method a
successor to Senator Johnston can be
chosen.
Il tried to keep from the public the
knowledge that ! had even wired At
torney General McReynolds" said Mr..
Brickell last night. The way it came
up was this; When the sad news of
Senator Johnstons death reached the
capitol this morning we found that no
one could locate a copy of the seven
teenth amendment to the United States
constitution which calls for a direct
election of senator's by the people. Some
one suggested that the best way to se-
cure copy of the amendment was to
WIRE Washington and that's what l did
h AS matter of fact there is little else
contained in the telegram from Mr. Nc
reynolds except a quotation from the
amendment. But | am a personal friend
or the bereaved> family, and Senator john
ston was a close friend of mine, and L
cannot help but feel 1t would be disre-
spectful to his memory to give out this
telegram or make public any opinion of
my own as to how his successor shall be
chosen until after his funeral
Mr. Brickell stated that he probably
would remain In Birmingham until after
the funeral Sunday morning at IL o'clock.
The method by which a successor TO Sem
ator Johnston for the unexpired term will
be chosen caused some comment among
attorneys and politicians in Birmingham
yesterday, but no views for publication
We're expressed as the sorrow which the
news of his death brought overshadowed
the political situation which had thrust
itself upon the state.

pear Tuesday

San Francisco, August S.-There was
large attendance at the Diggs- Cam
inetti trial today but those who ex-
pected sensational disclosures in the
white slave case We're disappointed.
Next Tuesday Marsha Warrington
and Lola Norris will tell of their flight
from Sacramento to Reno in the early
morning of March TO- their three days
stay there in a bungalow and the ar
rest which followed, ending in the
present prosecution under the Mann act
of Maury Diggs and Drew Caminetti,
whom, the government charges, trans
ported the girls TO Reno for immoral
purposes.
The court cut short the testimony
of Mrs. Kate Moore, a neighbor who
had been invited by 'Enright" tDiggs)
to meet his wife and share in an
evening of music. The object of the
defense, Attorney Devlin explained, in
bringing out this testimony and that of
A. j. Murgen, the real estate clerk who
had rented the bungalow. was TO show
that there had been no depression on
the part of the girls indicating coer-
cion.
II don't see," interrupted Judge Van
Fleet, the mater.aiity of any ques-
ton of coercion. I don't see that it
is material whether the girls were de-
jected or lively
THE jury may see the materiality,"
off cred Devlin.
II think the jury will not see the
materiality of anything that the court
instructs them is immaterial" replied
the judge.
