MONTGOMERY MAY
LOSE ITS MILITARY
CAMP BY DECISION
Ii Alleged Immoral Houses
Are Not Closed Attorney
General Will Ask War
Department to Act

Montgomery, August 6.-(Special)
When attorneys for alleged operators
of immoral houses went into the chan
Gerry division of the circuit court Mon
day to ask that injunction proceedings
brought against them by the attorney
general S department be dismissed.
Lawrence E. Brown, assistant attorney
general, told the court that he per-
sonally and the attorney generals de-
partment would be forced to ask that
the military camp be removed from
Montgomery unless local authorities
would support campaign for the
elimination of immoral houses as re-
quested by President Wilson and New
ton D. Baker, Secretary of War.
Mr. Browns statement was made
during his argument in support of the
proceedings which have kept 80 i'm
moral houses closed for more than a
week and which will keep them closed
permanently if the injunctions are not
revoked.
The remark caused CONSERVATION
among those in the courtroom and
caused C. P. Mcintyre, one Of the at
"
he could not believe that Mr.. Brown
spoke seriously when he said he would
ask that the camp be taken away from
Montgomery. Mr.. Mcintyre and W. w.
Hill, the othes attorney for the wom-
en-, maintained that conditions here are
Sot worse than they are in other cities
and that the attorney generals de-
partment had an adequate remedy at
Jaw without entering the chancery di-
Z Jision with bills for iniunctions. They
declared that Montgomery county has
two methods of handling the matter,
that warrants may be sworn out and
the women tried in the court of com
mon pleas, and that indictments may
be brought against them by the grand
jury.
Mr. Brown, who appeared as the only
representative of the attorney gen.
erals department, maintained that his
Office has the right to bring the pro-
ceedings, that this right has been in
teEpreted by court decisions and that
the code provides that the attorney
general may do just the thing he has
done.
Mr.. Mcintyre and Mr.. Hill requested
Ahe court to dismiss the temporary in
functions on the ground that they were
not properly before the court as 9TH
er methods provided by law had not
been found ineffective before restrain
ing orders were requested. A decision
will be rendered by Judge Castor Gun
ter later In the meantime the houses

MAN IS ACCUSED
OF KILLING HIS
FATHER |N-LAW
Second Arrest Is Made Fol-
lowing Murder of Wealthy
Farmer Near DOthan.
Lightning Hits Jail

Dothan, August 6.-(Special) Robert
v. Lawrence. IS. was arrested and
brought to Dothan tonight by Sheriff
John A. May and Deputy Alex May,
charged with having killed his wealthy
father-in-law. j. r. NJ. Williams, SO,
to prevent his marrying a young girl
20 years old
Williams was a widower and worth,
it is estimated about 100000 He was
engaged to be married on August 20
to a young lady 20 years old. Law
renee, it is said, objected to his father
in-law marrying again, as he did not
want anyone else to share in his large
estate. 1t is also said that there had
been friction between Lawrence and
Williams ever since Lawrence had
married Williams daughter. Just what
the evidence is that Lawrence actually
murdered his father-in law is not
known, as the authorities refuse to
disclose this information.
Williams was killed Friday morning
in swamp near his home, nine miles
north of Dothan. He was shot like a
squirrel out of the top of a tree where
he had posted himself to watch foxes,
which he was raising, come out to eat
the food he had brought them. He had
left his gun on the ground. Whoever
killed him obtained this gun and shot
him in the back. When he fell to the
ground his assassin then shot him five
more times with pistol Robbery was
at first assigned as a motive for the
killing, as Williams purse was found,
open and empty, lying upon his breast.
John Childers was arrested Friday
night, charged with the murder, and is
also being held In the Houston county
Jail here.
During thunderstorm here late this
afternoon lightning struck the Houston
county Jail, partially demolishing the
tower and severely shocking Mrs Wat
ford, the jailer's wife, and their little
son and slightly shocking several of
the II prisoners.
None of those struck was seriously
injured. The amount of damage done
the Jail has not been estimated, but
will probably be several hundred dol
lars.
The rainfall was heavy for several
hours.
