READING MATTER
 FOR PRISONERS
Community Club Has Such Success That Work Will
 Be Extended

To be incarcerated in the county jail is less odious now than ever. For ac- cording to an inmate there high class bunch" there at present.
 At least that is what one of the unfortu- mates conhded to William Spencer, when delegation of the Community club de- livered batch of magazines and books to be read by those who languish behind the bars.
 Stone walls do not prison make" now applies to county carbuncle for it might be mistaken for a library. The prisoners in order to keep the jail free from scraps of magazines and papers have elected officers of the library as- sociation.
 When the Community club asked per- mission of the county jail authorities to supply the prisoners with reading matter, it was pointed out that the influx of magazines might be followed by an un- kept jail, due to having papers and bits of the magazines strewn about the floor.
 In talking to an inmate about the ob- jection that was raised, one of the pris- oners told MT. Spencer that no disarray would follow. You needn't fear that the prisoner stated. We've got a high class bunch in here now
 The movement to supply the county prisoners with reading matter has been given additional force. Monday, the Community club will collect a number of periodicals and will present them to the city prisoners. Gov. Charles Hender- son heartily indorsed the project when it was presented to him by the president, J. P. Mudd last week, and the state prisons will be the next objects of this mcdest bit of charity.
 The decision to supply the city pris- oners with reading matter was reached at the meeting of the club yesterday at the Southern club.

WheelOck, an Innocent Man, Thanks Friends and Hur- ries Home to His
 Babies GIRL CAUGHT IN INGLENOOK AND
 ADMITS THE CRIME Blow Given to Circumstan- tial Evidence and Detec- tives Admit It Was
 Bad Mistake

Truth is stranger than fiction"
 This was demonstrated at z o'clock last night when W. K. Wheelock, accused of the murder of Mrs. Fred Wilkes at 9:30 o'clock Thursday night, was released from the county jail following the confession of Bertha Ridge way, a 17-year-old negro girl, that she had fired the fatal shot.
 The negro girls story sub- stantiated in every detail the account of the killing given the police by Wheelock at the time of his arrest. She is in the county jail charged with murder.
 q am going home to my babies"
 This was the first coherent remark of Wheelock as he stood in Solicitor Hugo L. Blacks office, surrounded by fraternal brothers and friends. He had been informed that he could leave the courthouse whenever he chose and his friends urged that he go to restaurant and have something to eat.
 "No; home and the babies first" was the reply of Wheelock. NEGRO GIRL IS
 CAUGHT IN INGLENOOk
 The negro girl, Bertha Ridgeway. who was employed by a Mrs. Burdette, on Huntsville avenue was arrested in Ingle- nook late yesterday afternoon by County Detective J. H. Garth, assisted by Dep- uty Sheriffs Chris Hartsfield, Charles Hell ton, Fred McDuff and City Detectives Brown and Cartwright
 When hemmed within a negro hut by the officers the negro girl attempted to hide her identity by appearing busy do- ing house duties with other negro women.
 When did that gal come here?" ques- toned Detective Garth.
 This morning." was the reply of the negro women.
 "I want you, Bertha" said Detective Garth as he grabbed the negro girl by the arm.
 "I didn't do no killin'!' cried the girl.
 No one said you did," was the reply.

 Judge H. B. Abernethy is one of the well known figures of the judiciary of Jefferson county. He was been on the municipal bench for the past 10 years and his characteristic manner in dealing with negroes has earned for him an enviable reputation throughout the state as a wit and also as a humanitarian and keen student of human nature.
 John Mcqueen is one of the best known attorneys of the district. He was for merly circuit solicitor. He is a brother of J. w. Mcqueen the vice president of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany. His appointment will be gratifying to thousands of friends all over the state.
