 From Jail
GADSDEN BUREAU THE AGE ERALD ! Gadsden. Ala, March 3

Euell s. Allbritton, held in the Eto- wah county Jail on indictment for conspiracy in connection with an all companies to the amount of S100,000; also under eight indictments for for gerry, sued out writ of habeas cor pus Saturday in an effort to secure his release from custody. The writ was returnable before Judge o. A. Steele of the circuit court and will be heard by him on next Saturday March 10. Allbritton was indicted for conspiracy to defraud in the same case by the federal grand jury in Bir- mingham early this week.
 Attorney Thomas J. Roe of Br mingham is his lawyer. Albert Al varado, Mexican automobile mechan ic, who is alleged to have been con cerned in the disappearance of All britton on the night of June 50, 1920, and who is unAer indictment for con- spiracy and perjury, has also sued out a writ of habeas corpus, and his case will be heard next Saturday Allbritton is said to have attempted to defraud certain insurance com panes by conspiring to represent that he was drowneL in the Tennes. see river. Two years after the al. legged drowning he was captured at Hoquim, Wash, ant was returned to Alabama. He has been in jail here since January D.
 JURY COMMISSION REPLIES
 In support O. their contention that there has been no discrimination against the laboring men in the se- lection of jurymen, the Etowah coun- ty jury commission on Saturday gave out some figures purporting to show that vast majority of the jurymen in the county have always been farm CTS and ..laborers. The makeup of the venires for the past three weeks and the coming week in the circuit court Is cited to show that this is fact. Complaint was made by the Gadsden Central labor body that business men are in the majority on the juries of the circuit court and that the laborer was conspicuous by that there is no basis for the charge.
 POSTAL RECEIPTS MOUNT
 Receipts of the Gadsden post office for the months of January and Feb ruary was $7,456.26. as compared to $6,731.53 for thes anne month last year. This is gain of 3724,74, or II per cent for the period. It is taken to mean that the city and district are enjoying unusual prosperity. All factories are going full tilt and there Is not an idle plant in the entire dis trict Merchants declare that their business in February and January was the best in history, so far as those months are concerned.
