Court Called Together
 to Consider Impeachment

Montgomery, July 11.-(SpeciaL)-
 Members of the supreme court of Alabama have been called into special session Tuesday for the consideration of the evidence in the impeachment. case against Sheriff George w. Mitchell of Lauderdale county which was submitted to Commissioner Noble H. Seay for the supreme court at Florence last week. Reports from Commissioner seay Monday afternoon indicated that the evidence was being put in shape at Birmingham and that it would be ready for submission Tuesday.
 If the two witnesses for the state who did not show up at the hearing are found their testimony will be re- ceived by the commissioner Tuesday and will be filed with the court later in the week. It Is improbable that decision will be rendered before the latter part of the week and 1t may take longer as it will be necessary for the court to read many typewriter pages of the testimony which was received during the hearing which continued a greater part of the week.
 However. some time was devoted during the hearing to alleged false testimony in the trial of Tom Steven son, which was held to be immaterial by the supreme court and court of appeals when Stevenson appealed, and 1t is expected that this will be ruled out of the impeachment case by the supreme court.
