EVIDENCE LOOKS
 BAD FOR ACCUSED
State Tightens Net About CornfieId Murder Suspect.
 Dismal for Young Man

Meridian, Miss, February 22.-(Special) )
 A strong web of circumstantial evidence | was woven about Roy c. Miner by the
 prosecution in the opening of his trial
 in the circuit court today on a charge
 of murder in connection with the slay- 1 ing of Mrs Josephine Morris, whose body was found in a cornfield near her home in the Vimville community on the afternoon of November 24, last. | The taking of testimony in the ca SC began this morning shortly before noon, following acceptance by both the de- fense and the state of the jury after a special venire of 80 men had been ex nausted and the regular petit jury pam els had been drawn upon. The state up to the adjournment of court tonight had offered only evidence that tended to support the bloodhounds that had been used in trailing the alleged murderer from the scene of the crime and which
 appeared to be unshaken by the defense. Witness after witness testified to being present when the hounds were taken to the scene of the murder and followed g trail to the home of J. E. Johnson, father-in-law of the defendant, finally stopping and baying young Miner on the outside of the house, where he stood with others. The testimony then showed that
 Miner wore a pair of shoes that fit in
 the tracks the dogs are alleged to have
 followed and that the sole of one of the
 shoes had a peculiar defect that was
 noticeable in the track.
 The state also showed that Miner stated when he was made to remove his shoe
 and place it in the track that Tt has
 been proved that it is my track and it looks mighty dscouraging, but I am not guilty"
 Others testified that the same shoe tracks the dogs are alleged to have toi- lowed from the house were found appar-
 entiy following the tracks of a woman 8
 shoe to the scene of the murder and
 which corresponded with the shoes worn
 by Mrs. Morris at the time she was killed.
 Throughout the trial today the court , house was crowded with spectators,
 among whom were a party from Lum- berton, the home of the Miners before they removed to Meridian about two years ago. The prosecution is not ex- pccted to close it's case before noon to- morrow.

for s6.000. 900 for Columbia, for $5.000,- 900 for the Georgia School of Tech nology and for $3,000, 900 as a birth day gift for the University of Virginia are typical of the very general move ments on the part of the sons and daughters of our leading institutions of higher learning throughout the country, public and private, to pre- pare for the larger demands of an eY larging democracy. I would commend their example to the serious cons,d- eration of Auburn alumni with this observation. the springs of priva te philanthropy in Alabama have been for the common good.
 "The final test of the college is the work it does. IL belongs to the public
 and they should demand to know
 whether it is efficient or inefficient. The
 people themselves and most certainly
 their representatives in the legislature
 ought to visit the college and learn first
 hand of it's spirit and of it's facilities.
 Alabama is an empire which for natural
 resources is unsurpassed in America. The
 possibilities of the development of her rich fields. forests. mines, waterways.
 and highways depend in the largest
 measure upon the proper development of
 her human resources. Auburn stands
 and may she ever stand for an educa-
 tional programme that will enable her
 to discharge of her every duty and cap
 italize here every opportunity for the
 service of the state; and so may state
 and colle-e move forward for the com
 mcnwearth."
