When found he was greatly eman- ciated had blackberry stain upon his face and had been severely bitten by mosquitoes and gnats. He seemed somewhat dazed from his long wander ing through the woods.
 Bud Ridener went blackberry pick ing on June Is and not returning at the proper time a posse was organized by the people of Woodlawn and thorough search made of the woods in the vicinity where he was supposed to have been. The searching party's at tempt to late him was futile and since then the father has been inquiring, ad- vertising, and making every effort to To- cate his son.
 The boy was brought to the board of revenue office and the father tele- phoned. When he walked in the room he identified his son immediately. The boy arose apparently eager to move along, while the father seemed over joyed SO much that he was unable to speak to him. That's my father" the boy said as he entered the room
 Supposed to have been existing upon ackberries and water and sleeping on the ground at nights he has roamed through the surrounding country for more than two weeks. He was dressed in a blue shirt. blue overalls, light cap and worn shoes.

MEN ARRESTED FOR. BAY ANNETTE KILLING. MAKE CONFESSIONS
Twelve Men Implicated in Lynching of Frank Foukal Make Written State
 ments as to Affair
State ment. May i2. Isis

Each of the 12 men held in the county jail. charged with implication in the murder of Frank Foukal when masked , mob broke into the Bay Mnette jail. overpowered the sheriff and shot Foukal while he was sleeping in his cell, have confessed. This was the statement made by Solicitor Joseph R. Tate last night
 It is understood that seven other men who were arrested yesterday in connec- tion with the mob were not to be brought to this city.
 Those who confessed were: Walter Bishop, Henry Bishop, Edward Bishop, Edward Nelson, Albert Nelson, Charles Nelson, Joe Underwood, Robert Under wood, Marshall Underwood Sam Will Hams, Sam Andrews and Jim Tender son.
 It is alleged that Sim Andrews and Walter and Louis Bishop were the prin- cipal ringleaders and fired the actual shots that killed Foukal Louis Bishop and Lipscomb were arrested this morn ing at Bay Minette. It is said the lat ter made full confession.
 The greater part of yesterday was taken up by Solicitor Tate and Attorney General Wilkerson in taking down the confessions of the men, which were given at the courthouse and in the offices or the Bodeker National Detective agency
 sEvery one of the F has confessed"
 
 typewriter confessions made by each of them in the presense of cath other. They will, each of them, be 'hog-tied' as far as the evidence is concerned.
 There seems to have been two mobs implicated in the killing, one Tuesday night and the other the night of the murder. Most of the men who are in the county jail are alleged to have. been committed by the three ring leaders, while the rest of the mob simply acted as guards. sHoH
 Other arrests. are expected. The Bode- ker National Detective agency, which IS working on the case at the request Of Governor Kilby, has several men at Bay Minette.
 Attorney General Wilkerson left the city at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon for Montgomery, leaving the case In the hands of Solicitor Tate.
 The trouble seems to have been that Foukal killed farmer by the name of Bishop who sold him mule, which, the former said, was not as Bishop repre- sented it. A quarrel resulted and as a result Foukal shot and killed the latter.
 Foukal was well thought of in the com munity in which he lived. Public senti- ment around Bay Minette is greatly against the lynchers.

 Ridener he did not seem to want to come with me. He walked fast at first ana was little hard to over take. Then we started home and on the way Ridener said he wanted to rest so we sat down. but he was still in a restless staee and wanted to move on. He told me he just walked away and didn't know where he was"

As soon as possible after reaching the house Salter said he washed Ridener' face and hands and he appeared to be much brighter, It is stated that Rid- ener is an invalid at times.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I read in your issue of this date under the heading "Scathing Report on Con vict System" and am very glad to be able to say that these sensational charges are dealing with things in the distant past and not the conditions ex- isting today.
 The convicts of Alabama, more especial ly those in the mining camps, are being properly fed and nourished, well clothed and housed, and as humanely treated as ccnvicts are anywhere. I have visited the convict camps in Alabama for the past eight years at frequent intervals with the sole object in view of bettering the conditions of the convicts, and am glad to say that as l go into these camps now it is very gratifying to me to hear the convicts. both white and black with tears of gratitude in their eyes thank me for having something to do al

Selma Man Urges Public
 To Withhold Judgment
 On the ConUict Question

least for taking them out of hell and putting them in ,heaven"-that's their way of expressing the conditions that exist today.
 There will be a majority and minority report submitted to the legislature on the convict question. I am perfectly willing to let the business men of the legislature. as well as the business men in general, pass on these reports. Punishment py whipping of the convicts has been re- duced to minimum, not exceeding per cent of these convicts receive corporal punishment I recently visited one of the convict camps of Jefferson county where there were 41 men working out of this camp, and their punishment, or whipping record shows 30 per cent and more.
 hope the public generally will not form their conclusions until they have heard both sides of this question. Yours very truly, J. w. GREEN.
