CASES AGAINST
POLICEMEN ARE
GIVEN AN AIRING
DOZEN OR MORE WITNESSES
HEARD BY COMMISSIONERS
WHO TOOK MATTER UNDER
CONSIDERATION FOR A FEW
DAYS.

Charges which had been filed
against two members of the police
department who were dismissed by
Chief Sanders, after investigation of
certain reports. were given an airing
yesterday afternoon, the board of
commissioners sitting in judgment on
the case A dozen or more witnesses
were examined, and at the conclusion
Of the sworn testimony the commits
sioners announced that, until the
record is Transcribed and read, they
would not announce their decision. In
the meantime both of the policemen
stand not reinstated.
Attorney Nelson represented the
two former officers, Roach and Jer-
nigan, at the hearing, while Commits
sioner Pou and Chief Sanders were
the ones who piled questions for the
city.
Details of why the men were dis
charged from the force so summarily
by the chief came to light at the hear
ing. Matt. Henderson, who came here
from Milton Monday forenoon, was
robbed, and the connection that
Messrs. Roach and Jernigan had with
it, it was alleged, was not common
datory, and the police chief, by author
ity vested in him in a section Of the
city charter, dismissed the two. The
hearing yesterday afternoon was in
the nature of an appeal, and oaths
were administered, testimony taken
and all the rules of a court procedure
were observed. Mayor Greenhut pre-
sided. The clerk administered the
oaths and all witnesses, after being
sworn, were excluded from the court
room, and not allowed to discuss the
case with one another until after they
had been on the stand.
The Main Witness.
Matt. Henderson, an aged man,
rather hard Of hearing, and with long,
white whiskers, was the main witness
He was questioned at some length on
all phases of the case, and finally,
after having been subjected to a
rather rigid ss-examination, came
precariously near losing his temper,
and was rather short in his replies to

called into the case and instructed
to investigate the robbery, started to
give what was pronounced as hearsay
evidence, and this line was objected
to by the accused mems attorney. The
officer was excused when he stated
that witnesses from whom he had
obtained the information he was about
to testify to, were on hand.
Captain of Police Cusachs told how
he had been informed of the robbery,
Mr.. Henderson himself telling the Of
fcer that he had lost his bankroll
The police captain then called the spe-
cial officers into the case. He detailed
a conversation which he had had with
Jernigan, in which the officer stated
that he knew the old man had some
money and that he had tried to get
it from him for safe keeping.
Jim Brown testified that he was
approached by Jernigan and Roach,
and that a bottle of cocoa-cola had
been bought by them, So bill being
rendered in payment for the same.
Other drinks were purchased, he said,
and Jernigan had paid him a little
account of about $2.45, which he owed
several days.
Hazel Kirke testified that Jernigan
was in her house on Tuesday and that
before that time it was current talk
on the street that some old man had
lost his money. Her policeman Wis
itor she alleged, had money, and in
the $24, which she said he was known

beer which he had bought in her house,
and she had given it to her maid to
change. She said that if the officer
had any other money than the $24
described, she did not know it. She
said that, in explanation Of having
so much money at one time, that
rJernigan told her he had won 1t in a
poker game, but had told in another
house that he had won it in crap
game, and at pool. She said that was
between 1 and o'clock Tuesday
afternoon and before that time she had
been told of the robbery of some old
man, who, she understood, had been
relieved of his money about IL o'clock
that forenoon. Asked If she could
swear that was on Tuesday, witness
said that she could not swear that
it. was Tuesday, but would swear that
it was if the calendar was not wrong.
Ada Hawthorne, maid for Hazel
Kirke, testified that she had been
called to go out and get the $40 bill

had given her the cnange on the
street. e
Dave Harrison, furniture dealer,
said the Hawthorne woman had asked
him to change a new $40 note, which
he did. He said that he had made a
bank deposit on Wednesday, which
would make the change giving trans
action fall on Tuesday. He said it was
a little after noon when the negro
girl asked him to change the note.
Bessie st. Clair said that Jernigan
was in her house about noon Tuesday, |
and that he came in with Jim Brown.

BASKETBALL Of
CLASS At Y. N.
c. A. TONIGHT
MOBILE coNTENDERs FOR THE
CHAMPIONSHIP OF SOUTH,
WILL MEET STRONGEST TEAM
PENSACOLA CAN PRODUCE.

Tonight the Mobile Y. M. C. A.
basketball team, who are strong con-
tenders for the southern basketball
championship, will meet the fast team
representing the local Y. NJ. c. A. on
the associations court. The game
starts promptly at 8 o'colck, and the
largest basketball crowd yet to be
seen in the local gallery is expected
to be on hand. Arrangements have
already been completed for seating
comfortably a much larger crowd in
the balcony.
Although the Mobile team gave the
fast Auburn team good trimming
last Thursday, the local boys are con-
fident of being able to turn the tables
on their rivals. Coaches Burnham and
Lurton have put the team through
some hard practices and have devel-
oped some fast team work. The two
teams are undoubtedly the fastest
teams that have been seen on the
local court in several years.
The Mobile Association will send
over the following players: Forwards,
Cunningham, Ollinger Ash and Craw
ford; Captain n. Martin, center; Ste
Der, Baumhauer, Midget and Giblin,
guards.
Against this fast crew the Pensa-
cola Association will have to repre-
sent them: Gibson, Olsen and Bras
sell, forwards; Langford and Hirsh-
kovitz centers; Wallace, yinson and
Jones, guards.
intermediate League.
The intermediate Basketball league
of the Y. NJ c. A. will have its regu
lar weekly game Saturday afternoon
at 3:15. The Harvards and Prince
tons are to clash while the Yales are
to tackle the Cornells. Last weeks
games proved very exciting and to-
days games are expected to bring out
a good sized crowd to see the fun.

the lawyers for the accused police
men.
At no time did Mr.. Henderson in his
testimony accuse either of the men
under suspicion of taking his money
He said he came to Pensacola on
Monday morning, bringing about $13J
with him. That night, he said, he
left his roll with a friend and the next
morning got it intact. He was unable
to say where he went the following
day, but said that he was not intoxi-
Gated, saving when the lawyer asked
where he had been on Tuesday, "Oh
Lord, don't know everywhere was
that day.
Robbed on Tuesday.
w. w. Geddes, who was at the desk
Of the Merchants hotel Tuesday
morning about IL o'clock, swore that
three men brought Mr.. Henderson to
that hotel and two of them escorted
him upstairs, putting him to bed to
sleep off slight intoxication. The clerk
said that he was instructed to wake
the old gentleman in time to catch
the eastbound train in the afternoon,
and at 5 o'clock when Mr.. Henderson
came downstairs, he announced to the
clerk that he had been robbed. The
sum Of $95 had been taken from him,
he claimed. at that time. Mr.. Geddes
was unable to identify anyone who
came to the hotel with the old gentle
man except Jernigan, whom, he said,
was with the old man and was one
of the two who went to put him to
bed.
Testimony from a number of other
witnesses concerning the possession of
a $40 note by the officer named, was
heard, three women from the restrict
ed district testifying to these asser-
tions. One of them claimed the man
accused had told her he had won the
money in a poker game, and had told
others he had obtained the money in
crap" game.
About the time this testimony was
being heard, Mr.. Nelson, attorney for
Jernigan, stated that his client would
and they were ready to prove whence
it came. None of the witnesses said
they knew him to have over $25.
Witnesses heard on various phases
of the case were Captain of Police
Cusachs, Special officer ScAnitz,
James Brown, Hazel Kirke, Ada Haw-
thorne, Dave Harrison, Bessie ST.
Clair, Elliott McCloskey, Fred Hum
phreys, and a few others.
1t is possible that some definite an
in the cases will be made
at the meeting of the commissioners
on Monday.
Testimony of Witnesses.
Elliott McCloskey, a witness for the
accused, stated that ne heard Mr..
Henderson asking Jernigan to go with
him to some place after dark few
nights ago, and that he had noticed
that when they went into a restau-
rant Jernigan had the old man by the
arm. Jernigan, the witness said, to
the best of his recollection, had his
uniform coat on.
The testimony of Henderson, was
then heard, and it is detailed above.

FOR FATTENING THE LAMBS
Experiments With shelIed Corn and
Alfalfa Hay Furnish Valuable
Comparison for Breeder.

W. G. Coffey. chief In sheep husband
ry at the University OF Illinois, has
completed his experiments on the pro.
portion of shelled corn and alfalfa hay
for fattenihg Western lambs. The ex.
pertinent also furnishes a valuable
comparison of the feeding and market
qualities of wether and eve lambs and
shows the effects of early and late
shearing on the feeding operations as
a whole
Western lambs which had been pur-
chased on the Chicago market about a
year ago were used In the experiment
These were divided into two main
groups. Group one was fed the largest
quantity Of corn that II was possible
to get the lambs to consume. with Just
enough hay to keep them healthy and
thriving. Group two was fed large
amount OF hay, with just enough corn
to put them in choice market condi-
ton
In experiment or group one, four lots
possible like two OF the lots OF wether
lambs. In experiment No. three lots
of lambs were shared early and three
were sheared late.
In each experiment the lambs receiv-
ing the largest proportion of corn made
the largest gains. The difference be-
tween wether and eve lambs In feed.
ing and market qualities were slight.
Shorn lambs ate more feed than I'M
shorn lambs In warm weather, but
there was little difference between
them In gains and no difference In
market quality. Lambs left In the
fleece until the end of the experiment
sheared from to 2.75 pounds per head
more than early-shorn lambs, and on
this account returned more profit.

LIVE STOCK
C NOTES

The market demands light hogs In
summer and heavy hogs In the winter
time.
Openings near the ground should be
closed so the young pigs cannot crawl
through.
To prevent humps give the pigs
plenty of exercise and do not over
feed them.
Experiments indicate that most OF
the body increase of young pigs oc-
ours at night.
Feed the hogs lightly, preferably
on dry feed. just previous to shipping
them TO market.
In feeding grain to hogs, even In
summer 1t Is best to feed on clean,
tight-feeding floor.
Judgment is the outgrowth of ex-
perience, yet man may have wide
experience and yet lack In judgment
Your dairy calls for pigs to patch
out the profit OF utilizing much that
will be wasted IL you have no hogs to
eat It.

johnson Grass ExtermInators.

The Tunis sheep utilized in the
breeding experiments OF the Arizona
station farm have developed great Ell
cheney as Johnson grass exterminators.
Director Forbes says that 17E of these
sheep we're sufficient to keep down the
Johnson grass on FIVE miles of weedy
bitches during the entire growing sea-
son. They saved the cost OF ditch
cleaning and at the same time made
wool and mutton grow where one OF
the most stubborn weeds of Arizona
had grown before.

HOW TO IMPROVE LAMB CROP
Practice OF Allowing Youngsters to
Run With Mothers Until Breeding
Time 10 Objectionable.

Lambs should be weaned when from
four to four and one-half months old,
So says Frank Kleinheinz, shepherd
of the University fiocks, In answer
to numerous inquiries upon this sub
ject.
Many flockmasters allow the lambs
to run with their mothers until breed
ing time. This Mr. Kleinheinz re-
CARDS as very Objectionable for 1t an
noys the ewes and keeps them In poor
condition. Moreover, at this time the
lambs get but little milk and they
will really do better without II.
When taken from their mothers.
the lambs should be put on a piece Of
fresh pasture, which will help to
avoid much Of the stomach worm
trouble.
After weaving time the ewes should
be put on a scant pasture for about
week In order to dry them up quick
ly. During this period they should be
MIXED few times to prevent the
udder from caking and as soon AZ
they are fairly dry they ought to be
placed on good pasture again, where
they will put on flesh and become
strong and vigorous before they are
bred in the fall.
Early weaving and good care Of the
ewes after the lambs are taken away
enables the ewes to go into winter
quarters In good condition, thus aid
ing winter feeding and insuring q
large crop OF strong lambs In the
spring.
