 'It was about 1so o'clock when the call came in,'' said Officer Moseley, "and Officer Crump at once notified Shaw & Son to send an ambulance .o 1900 Eleventh avenue. south. Officers Crump, Burgess and myself then boarded the police patrol and had a wild ride to the scene. We beat the ambulance three minutes.
 Arriving at the Allen house I've found MT. Allen in the street waiting for us Mr. Allen stated that Douk had come downstairs about 10 minutes before and told him that Mrs. Copeland had shot herself In his room. Allen stated that he had not yet seen the wounded woman, but had immediately called the police and had then waited for our arrival before going upstairs to see just how badly Mrs. Copeland had been shot.
 No One Awakened by Shot
 No one was awakened by the shoot ing that we could see. Only MT. and Mrs. Allen were up and this fellow
 
 rubbing his hair. Doak had no coat on and his collar was off. He told us that he had just arrived at the house and gone to his room and taken off his things and gone to the bath room. On his return he found Mrs Copeland in his room and she imlne- diately shot herself and fell back wards. He admitted that the shoot ing was done with his gun.
 "In Doak's room we found the gun on top the chiffonier near the door. One shell had been exploded and there was another loaded shell within the gun. About ten feet from the door lay Mrs. Copeland huddled under the bed Her entire body was under the bed the ambulance men could get her out. and the bed had to be moved before She had silk kimono wrapped about her head. The ambulance men threw sheet about. her ana carried her away to the South hSIIighland infirmary. We then told Doak that he would have to come along to headquarters. He stated that he didn't know why the police should want him but he came along peaceably We stopped in Mn Copeaand's room and found that she had already retired for the night as her bed showed signs of having been alept h.

 Work of Criminal Court
 In calling the attention of the grand
 jury to the need of judicial reforms,
 Judge Fort cited for their benefit the
 transaction of the criminal court for
 the 21 months as follows: Capital
 cases disposed of, 237 and at the close
 of the April term 122 still pending;
 noncapital felony cases, 749; pending,
 572; jury misdemeanor cases, 627, peni-
 ing 2S7: nonjury misdemeanor cases.
 3s20, pending 96S; city appeal cases, S27 pending 4SS; total state cases dis posed of, .54S3; total city cases. S27; grand total, 6260. Pending state cases, 1852; city appeal cases, 4SS: grand to- tai, 2440. of the capital cases shcre were 97 convictions and 67 acquittals. Noncapital felony eases. 325 convic- tions, g5 acquittals. Jury misdemeanor cases. 147 convictions. 51 acquittals; nonjury misdemeanor cases, 936 con victions. 507 acquittals.
 Judge Fort attributed the large numbe of acquittals first to the oromiscou swearing out of warrants by irresronsihl, persons second, to the lack of facilities such as detectives, to work up evidence o the solicitors office, and third, to the fac that witnesses were indifferent as to at 1 tending court on account of the scrip sys l tenn. whereby the witness gets little n | nothing for his services.

 Charged Doak With Shooting
 Mrs. Copeland, who shot you She looked up at the doctor and with out the slightest hesitation she replied; George Doak, shot me. God knows he shot me and he did it purpose1y-' The doctor then asked her what he had shot her for and she said; He was jealous. He came to my room and brought me upstairs to his room and shot me Dr. Moore then asked her how long she had been friendly with Doaks and she. replied: About six months.' and added with a gasp, Yes, he shot me Of course after that there was nothing else to do but put Mir. Doak in jail which we did. At police headquarters George Doak, who is about 21 years of age and is employed as a cost clerk for the Shaef- fer Manufacturing company in North Birmingham emphatically denied hav- ing shot Mrs. Copeland. He stated tEat he had employed an attorney who would apply for hts immediate release as Mrs. Copeland had stated that he was innocent.
