 Train Wreckng-Case Strongly Contested
 Notice of Appeal Given

Amos Smith was convicted by the jury yesterday morning, and given 10 years in the. penitentiary, for train wrecidng, as charged in the indictment. The case went
 to the jury late Friday afternoon and a verdict was not reached until Il o'clock yesterday. Smith was convicted of being
 implicated in the wrecking of the Sea-
 board inbound passenger train No. 5, several miles out from Birmingham, some
 months ago.
 Although Smith heard the verdict of the jury read without tremor, the court

 just. inside the rail, and when the yer
 dict was read, the woman, who had not
 given up hope that her husband would
 be returned to her.. could no longer re-
 strain herself and left the courtroom sob-
 ping. In the hallway she sat with head
 bent, clutching her babe to her breast,
 crying in her agony. There were friends
 on the scene who offered their sympathy and consolation, but they were not strong
 enough to fill the vacancy in her heart
 made by the taking of her husband from
 her side.
 There was not man present whose
 heart uid not go out in sympathy to the mother who, separated from her hus-
 band by the stern hand of the law. was left alone to face the world with her brood of small children the oldest of whom was under 10 years of age. The babe upon her breast was less than six months old and there were three others not old enough to understand the sobs of their mother and the agony of her heart, yet who. in the tenderness of their years wept because mamma was crying. The wrecking of the Seaboard passenger l train near Alton on the night of June l 9, last year, when three men were killed i is still fresh in the minds of the citi- ] zens. There was much publicity giver l the wreck and the arrest of the three l men charged with the wrecking: name. l ly, Archie Lee, Amos Smith and Shar !! Henry.
