ASSAULT CASE SET
 IN CRIMINAL COURT
Members of Law Enforcement Squad to Be Tried for
 Assault on Painter

Cases of w. II. Knox and O. D. Moates, members of Conrad w. Austin $ law enforcement squad, charged with an alleged assault on Phil Painter, pub- fisher of The Birmingham Advance, on the streets of the city several weeks ago have been set in the criminal division of the circuit court for February 21.
 It is alleged the charges against the two men grew out of an alleged anony nous letter written to Gov. Thomas C.. Kilby some tune ago. The letter. it is stated severely criticised the action of the governor in sending state troops to the Birmingham district to maintain or- der in the regions affected by the strike of coal miners. The law enforcement de- pertinent under Mir Austin sent to Bir- mingham to assist in maintaining order also came in for it's share of criticism in the letter, it is stated.
 When Officers Knox and Moates met MT Painter on Twenty-first street be- tween Fourth and Fifth avenues, north, several weeks ago it is alleged that they demanded if he had written the letter and then assaulted him in the presence of Mr, Austin and other members of the law enforcement squad inflicting injur- go to local hospital.
 The men were arrested by MT Austin following which warrants for their arrest were sworn out before Judge Fl. B. Aber- nethy of the Jefferson county court of nisdemeanors and were returnable Q the criminal court of Jefferson county
