Lauderdale Sheriff Seems
 ToBe Immune From Arrest

Montgomery. May S,-(Speeial.)-Afte thorough investigation of the events lead- ing up to the attempt of Sheriff W. $. Wilson of Franklin county to arrest Sheriff William A. Romines of Lauder dale county on a charge of felonious as- sault on J. R. Porter in Tennessee. Gov ernor Henderson Friday afternoon wired Sheriff Wilson that he has no legal au- thority to make an arrest out of Frank lin county. No one in all the nation can arrest Sheriff Romines except the, coroner Of Lauderdale county There is no cor oner in the county and Romines cannot be arrested.
 The story in all it's phases is so anus ing that two states are laughing and Governor Henderson couldn't keep back a laugh when he discussed the case with newspaper correspondents Friday. J. R. Porter, who resides in Hardin county. Tennessee, is accused by Sheriff Romines of shooting at another person in Lauder dale county Sheriff Romines and Dep- uties John Romines and John Hill in their search for Porter crossed the Lauderdale county line and passed into Tennessee.
 Porter was arrested and handcuffed. Then fearing that he had no jurisdiction, Sheriff Romines released him. Porter immediately obtained an indictment against the three, charging them with
