 about his acts as physician with the convicts during the Henderson and Brandon administrations, it it under stood.
 When Mir. Nolen came out of the grand jury room Tuesday morning, it was reported that general policy of the convict board and specific acts during the Brandon administration by members had been discussed. The board was created by the present leg islature February 13. MT. Nolen is recognized as the governors personal representative on the board.
 Many Officials Appear.
 Testimony of nearly every respon- sible official at Banner mines and in the state convict department was completed Tuesday afternoon. J. D. Evans, warden, who was under fire from the Bibb county grand jury in 1913, Dr. Pettus, resident physician at Banner; Rev. S. R. Emerson, chap lain who covers the Jefferson county camps of the state convict depart whipping boss" at Banner; J. D, Traywicl1, inside warden, and Mr. Boyd were called Monday and last week.
 Dr. B. c. Gillen of Bessemer, who comes in contact with the prisoners only in the doctors office at Banner, testified Monday, as did Cleon B. board during the Kilby administra- ton. J. w. Wheeler Aldrich official, also testified Monday.
 No action has been taken by the convict department regarding the order of Judge Heflin to MT. Boyd to produce eight convicts in court Tues day. It is understood Judge J. J. Mayfield, legal advisor of Governor Brandon called Judge Heflin on a point of information, but did not in- dicate whether second prohibitory writ demanding cancellation of the order would be issued. Davis can ask that Boyd be cited for contempt of court, Judge Heflin said. at the same time pointing out that this was a case parallel to that which had occasitned the first prohibltory writ.
 Several ex-convicts are expected to Wednesday, the fifth day of the in vestigation. Much testimony has been volunteered by former prison CTS, persons who have visited the mines and who have had official con- nection with prison camps where state-leased convicts are confined
 Return of about 100 indictments Wednesday in a report to Judge Heflin by the grand jury clears the way for full attention to the mutiny investigation, it is felt. Solicitor Davis intends to take the jury to all prison camps in Jefferson county during the week, as stated in The Age-Herald Sunday.
