HIGH COURT RULES SLAYER IF MOBILE DEPUTY MUST HANG
Negro Also Gets Death Pen- aIty-Lee C. Bradley Wins Fight Against Damage
 Suit Verdict
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD MonfqnmerxL la Dee If


 Dossy Rivers, slayer of Carl 4. Brill deputy sheriff of Mobile county. lost his fight for life in the supreme court Thursday as the court ordered him hanged in the Mobile county jail Friday, January 26. Supreme court also affirmed the death sentence im- posed on Buster Phillips, negro, con- victed of a statutory offense, and fixed January 26 IS the day for his execution.
 Rivers case attracted much atten ton in the state. Brill was killed by load of buckshot near Calvert while he was searching for moonshine stills. There was evidence that Rivers had threatened Brill if he found him in terfering with his business again, and this, with other evidence, caused jury to impose the death penalty.
 Confessed Guilty
 Rivers confessed to the solicitor while confined in the county jail and this confession was submitted to the jury over the protests of Rivers at- torneys, This evidence was one of the main grounds for the appeal. but the supreme court announced that there was sufficient proof to show that Rivers made the confession vol untarily and without coercion on the part of the state and with full knowl- edge that it would be used against him at the trial.
 Buster Phillips appealed to the su rreme court without submitting bill of acceptance. The court received the record and announced that no err TOT appeared and affirmed the state- m.nt of the Mobile circuit court.
 BIRMINGHAM DAMAGE SUIT
 Lee c, Bradley, receiver of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company, won his fight against a verdict for $15,000 for the death of James E. Deaton, a street car motor man, who was killed in an accident. Mrs. Hattie Lee Deaton. administra- trix of Deaton's estate, sued for S100,000, and jury reduced the term to $15.0o0.
 The supreme court held that the Jefferson circuit court should have given an affirmative charge to the defendant on the evidence which indi- cated that Deaton was negligent in the operation of the street car which negligence caused the accident during boaNsV fnp
