der denying their motion for q new trial

Mrs. Becker was in the court room by
the special request of her husband Tt
is expected decision In the case will
not be rendered for many weeks. Twenty
five reasons why the decision of the lower

were the trial was unfair, error was COM

plainly was an accomplice, the verdict
was opposed to the weight of the evil

Henderson's Report

The report follows:
"On Monday, November II, l visited
the scene of the wreck on the Elufaula
and ozark branch of the Central Of
Georgia railway. which occurred Tues
day, November 13. 1913.
The wreck occurred about three and
one half miles east of Clayton The
train was the regular passenger train
scheduled to leave Ozark at $50 a. M,
and arriving at Eufaula at S:45 a. M, q
distance of 60 miles. This train ordi-
narily composed of locomotive. comb!-
nation mail express and baggage, COM
bination negro coach and smoker and
coach for white passengers. on this oc-
easion carried three extra coaches, two
white and one colored, all of which
were filled with eXcursionists from vari- =
Gus stations along the line of the rail-
road destined for Eufaula.
1T was impossible to ascertain with
accuracy the number of passengers on
the train, as large numbers on account
of the rush failed to secure ticket 3.
From the best information 470 tickets
had been sold at the various stations,
but there were estimated to be nearly
900 passengers on this train. The
coaches were crowded not only the
seats being occupied but the train aisles
of the coaches We're filled with pas
sengers The three rear coaches of this
train We're wrecked resulting in the
loss of nine lives and more than $50
injured, and about 10 of whom received
serious injuries
Three inspectors of the intersta 70
commerce commission were on the
scene gathering data under the federal
enactment authorizing such.
THE Alabama law does not grant to
the commission any authority over the
roadbed and tracks of a railroad, nor
is the commission charged with super
vision thereof, hence no report of con-
ditions as they We're found is embraced
here, but, believing that the commits
sion should have some data on file in
it's office as to the conditions of the
roadways and tracks of the various
transportation companies in Alabama,
would recommend that an annual sup
Elemental report be required of all the
railroads within the state, embracing
detailed information as to the main
tenance of roadways and track"

NEAR BINGHAM,
Ralph Lopez Shut Up in
Mine With Poisonous
Gases-Still Defiant to
the State Authorities

Bingham. Utah, December 1.-Smudges
We're lighted early today in the Utah
Apex mine where Ralph Lopez, desperate,
is making his last stand.
With all exits to the mine except that
of the Andy Tunnel bratticed and sealed
with mud and with poisonous gases
floating back into the depths of the work
ings, 1t was expected that the fugitive
would make a break for liberty today.
While poisonous gases gradually pene-
trated the farther reaches of the Utah
Apex mine. Lopez crowded to the bulk
head of the Andy tunnel this afternoon
and called for his friend, Julio Corrello.
what do you want?' Speak now for
in half an hour you will be dead,' COM
manded the deputy in charge Of the posse
at the entrance
Lopez refused to answer except to call
again for Corrello who was sent for.
When the latter arrived, however, and
shouted through the bulkhead, he received
no answer. 1t Is supposed Lopez, fear
ing some scheme to trap him, retreated
back into the mine or himself was re-
sorting to some stratagem.
on November q Lopez killed a Mexican
miner and later on he killed the chief of
police and two deputies who pursued
him.

Tries to Enter Mine

On Corrello's being unable to get a
response Mike vukovich, a Montene-
grin and a brother-in-1aw of Deputy
Mandrich, broke from crowd of spec
tators and tried to break down the
bulk head to go after Lopez. He was led
away by deputies and friends. Re-
peatedly since Saturday he had plead
ed for the opportunity to penetrate the
darkness and fight it out with the Mex
lean.
The deputies guarding the Andy tun-
mel mouth believed Lopez was overcome
this afternon behind the bulkhead un-
til two hours later they heard scrap
ing sound followed by a cough.
Late tonight columns of smoke were
rushing out of various tunnels, show
ing that parts of the mine already We're
filed
In the lowest level of the workings
smudges were placed directly beneath
shafts leading up into the upper levels,
where Lopez took refuge when he en-
tered the mine Thursday night. Smoke
was also issuing through cracks on top
of the mountain. showing one of the
tunnels ran very near the surface.
Guards were placed at these spots.
In case Lopez does not appear the
smudging will continue for another day
and night. Then "a hours must elapse
before the deputies can enter.
