SENTENCE OF LIFE INVERSION AGAINST
 HALLISSUSTA|NED
Supreme Court Decision in the Hall Case Attracts Wide h. terest-0ne Among Eight
 Murder Cases Heard

Montgomery. Juno 22.-(Speclal.)- )- The hand of the law fell heavily on persons charged with murder, when the supreme court handed down a batch of decisions Thursday. In the seven cases five convictions were affirmed, involving sentences from death down to 25 years. while two were reversed and returned 10 the lower courts for other trials.
 Other than the Hall case from Franklin county. the most important was that of Charlie Milligan of Jef- ferson county, striking miner, who was convicted of murder in the sec- ond degree and sentenced to 20 years. The judgment of the lower court was affirmed by the supreme court. Milligan and other striking miners were indicted for the murder of John Blvins. another miner, in a general fight during the coal strike two years ago. It was alleged that Bivins, who had gone out on strike had returned to work and was way laid and killed one night while he was returning to his family with pro visions, which he had purchased.
 Culver Must Die
 Afford Culver, convicted of the murder of Miles Mccoy In Henry county, win be put to death in the Henry county jail August II under another decision of the supreme court. Culver was convicted of the murder of Miles Mccoy.
 Walter Lambert. convicted of sec- ond degree murder for the death of Seab Eason in Calhoun county, must serve the sentence of 2b years. The supreme court affirmed the judg- ment of the Calhoun circuit court. Lambert at former trial was con victed of first degree murder and given life sentence, but the SUI preme court reversed the judgment and on the second trial he was given 25 years.
 The s0-year sentence imposed on Laurene Sledge in Chambers county for the murder of George Tatum was affirmed. Sledge was convicted of second degree murder.
 Nolan Tried Again
 Ed Nolan, sentenced to life fm- prisonment for the murder of John King at Russeliviile, won another trial, the supreme court holding that the Franklin circuit court, erred lWHtH U pCl lillttCo tht lfiCNhtC JNoe and clerk to impeach Nolan's testi- mony regarding his age by testifying that Nolan previously had signed an affidavit showing that he was over 21 years old when he applied for q marriage license. The supreme court held that this impeachment of Nol- ans testimony was about an imma- terial matter and tended to prejudice his defense before the jury.
 George Webster. sentenced to llf- Imprisonment for the murder of John S. Hartsfield in Shelby county, also was granted another trial. The su- preme court held that errors were permitted during the trial, which may have prejudieed Webster's ease.

Work.
 The railroad tracks in the United States would reach very nearly to the moon and return, and a locomo- tive with S5 freight cars behind 1t could be placed at seven mile inter vals along that whole distance merely by using the equipment now in use on American railroads. Two hundred side tracks extending from New York to Philadelphia would be required to hold the freight cars of this country alone.
 Nor Is the passenger equipment small. If the 56.000 passenger cars were street cars and started from a given point at the rate of one a minute 40 days would be required to get them all In notion In 1920 a number of people equal to more than 30 times the population of the entire earth were carried distance of one mile.
