will submit counter brief in op"
position to another trial.
Mr.. Callahan charged that Seay
did not and could not obtain a fair
trial in Lauderdale county, and that
because of the prominence of his
wife's family, no attorney in Lauder
dale county could be employed to
defend him. The result, according
to the argument, was that attorneys
from other counties were employed
and they could not properly select
the jury for the trial.
1t was also alleged in the argu-
ment which supported the record
that between three hundred and five
hundred persons engaged in dem
onstration against Seay in front OF
the Jail and that the sheriff Of Lau-
derdale county stood on a balcony
and threatened to shoot any person
who attempted to enter the Jail en-
closure During this demonstration,
according to the argument, the
twelve men selected to pass upon the
guilt or innocence of Seay, sat on
the gallery of the sheriff's home not
more than fifteen or twenty feet
from the demonstrators.
In showing the temper of the peo-
pie, Mr.. Callahan mentioned that
addresses to the crowd were made
by the attorney general of Alabama,
the trial judge and the trial solici-
tor. In those addresses, according
to the argument, the promise was
made that the trial would proceed
without delay.
Mr.. Callahan also brought out the
fact that various affidavits were
ff41 - to rNtsf
the states contention that Seay
could receive a fair and impartial
trial and that the minds of the peo-
pie were normal despite the gravity
of the crime. One of these affidavits,
according to the argument, referred
to Seay as murderer" and the
maker of it later became a member
! of the jury which imposed the death

PROMOTING
MANNERS

Seenob was very fas-
tidious, but he was also
a very hungry man
when at 1 o'clock one
day he found himself in
an unknown town in
which only one rather
cheap-looking restaurant
was to be found.
The call of the inner
man was not to be de-
MED, so he pushed open
the swing doors and en-.
tered. 1t was a rough,
ill-smelling place, but he
thought he could man
age to get down a cup of
coffee and something 10
eat.
The waitress brought
the coffee in a thick,
heavy cup.
"Where's the saucer?"
inquired our fastidious
friend.
1--WE don't give no
saucers here" replied

Highlands, which disap-
peared from Fall River,

Peeko's mistress was

the call for breakfast.
Mrs. Adams sent out a

SENSATIONAL APPEAL

SpeciaD-Contending that reversible
errors were committed when the
trial court refused the motion for
a change of venue from Lauderdale
county and that the death sentence
was not supported by the weight of
the evidence. F. Whit Seay, of Flor
ence, who killed his wife and was
given the death penalty, after a SEN
sational trial at Florence, appealed
to the supreme court for another
trial and for change of venue to
another county.
w. w. Callahan, of Decatur, at
torney for Seay, made the argument
in support of the appeal, during
which he recited various instances
in an effort to show that the de-
PENDANT faced jury when the minds
of all people of the county were in
famed by the crime and when sober
judgment could not be called to the
defense of the accused man.
No oral argument was made by
the state in support of the verdict
Mr.. Callahan was given fifteen days
in which to prepare a brief in am
plification of the oral argument.
After this brief is filed the state

ALABAMA TO BUILD
MODEL COTTON MILL
MONTGOMERY Ala, Feb. A.
Plans and specifications for 10000
spindle cotton mill which will be con-
structed by the state at Camp Kilby
before January 1 will be drawn at
once by J. E. Serrine & Co., of
Greenville, S. c., and the ground will
be broken on the site of the mill
about March Is. This announce
ment was made by the board of con-
troll and economy Thursday after
noon following the employment of
the company which will make the
plans, draw the specifications and
supervise the construction of the
plant.
The new cotton mill will be a
model one in all respects with the
latest machinery for the manufac-
ture of cotton goods. The state will
rush the construction work in order
that the mill may be placed in opera
ton by the end of the year. This
will be necessary because of the
heavy increase n the number of
state convicts and the fact that con-
tracts now in effect for the employ
ment of convicts in the mining of
coal in the Birmingham district will
expire December 81.
No disposition has been made of
the states mill at Speigner and it
will continue in operation until it
is sold. However, the fact that it
has not been disposed of will not
interfere with the construction Of
the new mill.
Convict labor will be used to a
great extent in the construction of
the new plant as it has been used in
the construction of the prison build
ings.
Governor Kilby and w. A. Oar
den, private secretary, made thor
ough inspection of the work at the
new prison Thursday afternoon.
Both have made regular visits to the
prison since the first construction
work started several months ago.
