ARRESTED ON
GRAVE CHARGE

JAIL CHARGED WITH EFFECT

PANION TWO WEEKS AGO.

Mathis Lambert, white, Ii years of
age, was placed in the county Jail
yesterday about noon, and a charge
of murder has been docketed against
him. He is from Muscoger, and is
the boy, it is alleged, who was with
Ephus Nelson, 13 years of age, who
on Wednesday, Nov. 7th, was killed;
while out hunting. The mother of
the Nelson boy, who was in the city
several days since, demanded that
the Lambert boy be taken in custody,
claiming that the coroner's verdict,
which exonerated the Lambert boy,
was not satisfactory, and she repre-
sented that the youths had had fall
ing out some time before they started
out for the hunt, it is alleged. The
warrant tor Mathis Lambert was not
issued until an investigation was con-
Quoted, and yesterday afternoon Dep
uty Lowry arrived here with his
youthful charge, and had him locked
up. It is stated that further in
vestigation is being conducted, and
that the boy under such a serious
charge will be given a preliminary
hearing, when it is claimed sufficient
testimony will be introduced to war
rant his release, as it is claimed the
Nelson boy was killed in an accidental
discharge of the ~ carried by Lam
bert.

De ShULLES JURY
A HARD PROBLEM
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mineola, n Y, Nov. 2O.-More
than third of the $50 talesmen had
been examined and seven had quail
fled as jurors this afternoon in the
trial of Mrs. Blanca de SaulIes for
the shooting of her divorced husband,
John /. De Saulles, Yale athlete and
clubman, at his Long Island home,
on the night of August 3rd. The re-
luctance of many of the talesmen to
serve and the lawyers manifest de,
termination to obtain jury composed
of men of mature years and judgment
made it appear probable the remain
der of the day and possibly part of
tomorrow would be required to COM
plete the jury. Mrs De Saulles'
mother, Mrs. Blanca Errazuriz, made
her first appearance at the hearing
this afternoon. She was heavily
veiled and dressed in black.
Blood tests were made on Aug. 6.
three days after the date of the
shooting and which indicated that
Mrs. DeSaulles' general physical con-
dition was radically impaired, and
this will be a part of the evidence
introduced in support of the defend
ants plea of mental responsibility.

COMPTROLLER
j. H. BAYLESS
HAS RESIGNED
YOUNG MAN CONNECTED WITH
CITY FOR SEVERAL YEARS
LEAVES OFFICE SHORTLY TO
TAKE UP OTHER DUTIES.

]. Harvey Bayless, city comptroller
for more than four years, yesterday
morning rendered to Mayor Johnson
his resignation, effective about Dec.
1, Mr.. Bayless to go with the PEN
sacola Home and Savings Association,
which is the building and loan asso-
citation maintained at the OFFICES of
R. M. Cary. a&.s
There has been no plans made for
the successor to the capable man the
city is losing, as there was no init
nation that such resignation would
be forthcoming until, it is said, it
reached the mayors desk. That the
retiring comptroller will be missed
is saying it mildly, and there is not
an official in the city hall but who
will regret to know of the intention
of Mr.. Bayless.
Mr.. Bayless, entering the office of
the comptroller in 1912, under the
late John G. Ward, has been steadily
in that branch of the city's service.
