DEATH PENALTY IS UPHELD BY COURT
 IN FOUR CASES
Walter Hardley of Cullman and Lewis Russell of Jef- ferson Among Those
 Who Must Die

Montgomery. June 2o-(Special) Death warrants for four men were written by the supreme court in dc- cisions today. In one of the cases Earl Shaffer of Walker county was cor demned for the murder of Arthur Chandler, his fellow convict, at the Flat Top mines in Jefferson county. Tho court set August as the day for the execution. Shaffer's attorney urged the supreme court to grant a new trial, charging that the convict lease system under which he was worked at Flat Top mines, was directly responsible for the crime. He char ed that Shaffer was made check runner and that in this position, al ough a convict. he became a virtual slave driver over other oonvicts, his duty being to see that the production of coal by convict labor was kept at the maximum.
 Shaffer maintained that he stabbed Chandler to death in his own defense and that Chandler was advancing on him with knife, Witnesses also testi- fled that Chandler was heard to ask other convicts to pray for him as he intended to kill another convict. But the jury in Jefferson county disre- garded all evidence of the defense.

 WHILE ON STAND
Gives HI Health as Cause of His Flight and Shields His Accused
 Brother

New York, June 20.--While shielding his brother, John J. O'Leary, from charges of criminally aiding his escape from trial last month for alleged viola tion of the espionage act, Jeremiah A. O'Leary outlined in federal court today the defense he will make at his iru- pending trial on indictments charging conspiracy with German agents and four American associates to commit treason against the United States. These in dictments were found after he fled from the Jurisdiction of the court.
 During his testimony the Sim Fein leader pictured himself as on the verge of nervous collapse when he fled to the west May 2. He was laboring under the obscession, he indicated, that govern ment agents had entered into a con- spiracy to have him sent to prisonH
 Deserted by his counsel. Henry A. Wise, who had been advised by govern ment agents, the Sim Feiner asserted, not to connect himself with the case, as it might jeopardize his professional became convinced he could not obtain tuner duVlSerS WHO could QeIenQ nm properly. and this so preyed on his mind he became thoroughly disorganized.'
 Against the advice of his brother, the witness said, he left New York with Arthur l.. Lyons, an employe of his law office, for St. Louis, and there decided that he would not return ito be persecrted." The public mind had been so "poisoned" through ''prejudiced" newspapers. he declared, his trial. had he returned, would have been "a polit- ical hippodrome for the newspaper fiends''
 Throughout a long cross-examination O'Leary reiterated his statement that there had been no collision between himself. his brother and Lyons relative to his flight.
 His cross-examination will continue tomorrow. It is expected his brother also will be called to testify during the day.

Algern0n Blair Must Divide Camp Sheridan
 Profits Holds Court

Montgomery, June 20.--(Special)-Al- gernon Blair, Montgomery contractor, who constructed Camp Sheridan, must divide his profits amounting to between s150,0eo and s200,00o, with other Mont gomery contractors under a decision of the supreme court today. The court rejected Blair's contention that there was no binding contract between him and other Montgomery contractors whereby he was to divide the profits and instead ruled that there was di- rect understanding before the govern ment awarded the contract that all con- it. that all would join in the construc- tion work and that each contractor would receive his pro rata share of the profits.
 Blair admitted that there was an un- derstanding, but contended that the only agreement was that he should use the other contractors if he believed they were needed In defending himself in proceedings brought by the contractors, he consended that such contract al- legged WAS against public policy and foi this reason was uncomfortable and if 1t were nOl against puDilc pollcy COuiu uoN be enforced because of it's indefinite- ness.
 The supreme court ruled that the con tract was not against public policy be- cause 1t would have been an aid to the government as all the contractors would have joined in the work at a time when the camp was needed and that there is nothing indefinite about the contract It's decision ordered the lower court to enforce the agreement to the letter. Blair will be enforced to turn over to the court $1o5,oo0 for division. this amount having already been paid by the government. Other amounts arc due on ether contracts which must be divided.
 The contractors who will benefit by the decision are: I. o. Anderson, F. J. Cramton, James Hodgson, J. o. Estes, D. F. Gorrie & Son and Jeffers Broth CTS. They will also benefit from all other contracts which may be awarded to Blair in connection with Camp Sher- idan. the agreement being that all such contracts would be carried out by all contractors and all would be given their pro rata shares of the profits.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. June Especial )--Th, hot wave in Texas shows signs of diss appearing. which left the market with. out support which comes from the feai of the destruction of the cotton crop il the month of June by warm weather The market however, advanced soms 40 points on the idea that there was large short interest which had been created by these favorable crop re, ports that spinners had not bought contracts for forward delivery against their sales of goods and that they will willingly buy this cotton on the basis of about 20 cents. Therefore there waa in the market potential buying power which might become alarmed either by the probability of peace, or by deteri, oriation in the crop which might oc, cur later on in the season. On thesa ideas there was considerable buying in a small market but so far without at. tracting any outside buying because oi the excellent crop reports.
