EMMA BUNTING IN
 MISS LULA BET"
 AT THE JEFFERSON

10 Miss Lulu Bett," which Emma Bunting and her company presented at the Jefferson theatre last night, Is heralded as a prize-winning play, but surely the judges were nodding or else competition was not brisk when 1t was awarded this distinction. Miss Bunting is capable actress and favorite In Birmingham. She has appeared here In a number of plays, always with success. and she made night as Lulu. Nevertheless, there was little in the performance to lift 1t above the dead level of mediocrity.
 The character of Lulu is one to en- list the sympathies. She is house. hold drudge, woman who has led drab existence, most of the time in the kitchen, and has been compelled by circumstances to bear with the sights of a sister and brother-in-law who regard her as little better than a servant of the family. When TO- nance does come Into her life, sud denly and unexpectedly 1t seems for a time that fate has made shipwreck of her marriage, for the man who has pitied her and sought to lift her out of her sordid environment had previously married another woman and Is not sure whether she Is still dead or alive. Tho other woman is found to be dead, and that's about all there Is to the story. It means that Lulu is not to end her days slaving for family who neither appreciate her. worth nor understand her posi- ton.
 It Is quite contrast to see Miss Bunting play the role of "slavey." after the sparkling and sometimes naughty characters which she has previously portrayed In Birmingham, and 1t Is no disparagement of her ability to say that there Is nothing In Miss Lulu Bett' to win enthusiastic commendation. The play Is for the most part deadly dull and 1t would require superhuman efforts to make 1t otherwise

Mail Robbers Failed to Carry It Out,
 Says Witness
By Associated Press

Chicago, November 3.-When the Bearborn street station mail robbery, which netted the robbers $350,o0o, was being planned, murder was con templated by some of the plotters. but this part of the plan was later abandoned, according to evidence given here today by George Bradford, alias Hecker. former mail clerk Hecker is a star witness for the gov ernment In the trial of Timothy (Big Tim) Murphy. Vinoenso Cosmano, Ed ward Geirun and Paul Vaolanti on the robbery charge.
 Hecxer said Cosmano, Murphy's lieutenant, wanted to kill Ralph Teter. who has testified that he gave the tip on the truck containing the money and securities. Murphy. ac- cording to Hecker, objected to killing Teter. who later confessed and turned government evidence, as did Hecker.
 Hecker's testimony, for the most part. substantiated that of Teter given yesterday. He said Teter and their part in the robbery and had gone to Indianapolis. where he bought S3,000 diamond ring for himself and one costing s2o0o for. Teter. These were later turned over to postal in- spectors, he said. Hecker also said he and Teter had purchased a 400- acre farm in Lake county. Michigan, following the robbery, but had not used stolen funds to pay for it.
 conference of attorneys for the defense is to be held tomorrow to de- eide whether Murphy shall take the stand in his own defense.

BARRING OF PUBLIC EARNS A NEW TRIAL FOR CHARLEY WADE.

asi.s First NstioSI Bank Building
 Montgomery, November 3.-Any person accused of felony has no right to waive the constitutional guaraRtee of a trial before the pub lie and if a trial judge excludes the public from the court room the de- fendant. if convicted, may obtain an- other trial, under decision of the supreme court Thursday Tn the ease of Charley Wade of Jefferson, con- victed of mayhem in sordid case and sentenced to a term in the peni- tertiary.
 Because of the shocking details of the alleged crime, the trial judge ex- eluded from the court room all per- sons who had been attracted to the courthouse by the many reports and rumors, confining the list of specta- tors to those actually engaged in the trial and relatives of the defendant and the accusing witness. When Wade was convicted he applied for a new trial on the ground that ho had not been given the constitutional guarantee of trial before jury in full view of the public. The court Of appeals affirmed the judgment of the jury holding that the constitu- tional guarantee was given Wade by the admission of portions of the public
 Wade carried the case to the su . preme court, which reversed the court of appeals and the trial court. In fan opinion by Chief Justice Anderson, which was concurred iiF by four other members of the court. the supreme court said We hold that the words public trial mean trials as usually and generally conducted where the courthouse is open to practically any one who may wish to attend. and do not mean one where the public Is so generally excluded as to confine the attendants to those engaged and in terested in the trial and the relatives Of the parties. We, of course, do not wish to go to the extent of some of the courts by intimating that in no instance could the trial court exclude or restrict portions of the crowd"
 The court mentioned that it would be within the bounds of right for a trial court to exclude children of tender age or persons who are inter- fupting the orderly procedure of the court or persons who overcrowd the court room.
 Justices Sayre and Gardner dis scented from the opinion of the ms- jority, agreeing that defendant is
