Birmingham People Leave for Mont gOmery to Attend Trial-State At- torneys in Party Which Left Last
 Night-Many Believe Oakley
 Will Prove His Innocence
By l.. S. BETTY

Montgomery, March S.-(Special. James G. Oakley, former president of the state board of convict inspectors, will be placed on trial in the city court here tomorrow on one of IA indictments charging the embezzle- ment of nearly s10O,O00 of state funds.
 Oakley came to Montgomery last night from Birmingham, where he was in a hospital for nearly a week
 It is understood that the defense is ready for the trial. The attorneys of the former president of the convict bu- reau stated that they were ready for the trial before it was called last Wednes- day. but Oakleys nonattendance forced a postponement
 Whether or not any new developments will come out at Oakley's trial is purely a matter of conjecture. Various re- ports have been circulated to the effect that Lacy may be placed on the stand though it is hardly probable that this will be done.
 Capt, Frank $. White, special counsel for the state. came to Montgomery to- night. and was in conference with the governor and states attorneys until a late hour. Every possible effort will be made to prosecute Oakley on all of the indictments

 Now, will Mr. Conner explain why as a candidate for governor, on a pro-
 hibition record he has had secret con- ferences with the beer and liquor in terests of Alabama? Will he tell what
