afternoon to make an official inspec-
tion of the home to pass upon the re-
cent complaints and with him were Mr..
Reese and Mr.. Howell The party was
just leaving the home when Mr.. Black
burn and Mr.. Smith came up. They
were apparently angry over the situ-
alton and Mr.. Blackburn had told Dr.
OMAN that the citizens of West End
objected TO having fallen women par
ade the streets in the presence of their
children. 1t was then that DIR. OMAN
began a sentence which he had not
completed when Mr.. Blackburn struck
him a powerful blow. knocking him to
the ground.
DIR. Oxnam's words are understood
to have been. There are women in
this home as good as your wife or
mine" 1t was explained later that he
had meant that many Of the women
were pure but simply unfortunate be-
cause they had. been deserted by their
husbands

night that no one regretted the recent
controversy more than the officials in
charge They thought that their work
was wanted in Birmingham and the
first complaints that they had heard
of the location were the recent ar

That on the Sd day of February, 1918, an
order of confirmation of a sale made by
the trustee in this cause, copy of which
is hereto annexed, was entered herein
THAT such order was and is erroneous,
in that:
"First-For that said order OF conirma-

"Third-Because the notice OF sale given
