NE W SEMSAT| |ON IN BOWLING FL0GG|NG BRE WING REPORT
Prominent Citizens Face Pos sible Indictment, Court
 House Rumor

Was Dr. J. D. Bowling, city and
 county health officer, abducted from
 his home and flogged last May at
 the behest of a number of prominent citizens of Birmingham? Ths was
 the rumor about the court house Monday as the Jefferson county grand jury reconvened. Rumor also stated that should indictments be returned against men said to be inn
 plicated in the flogging sensation would be caused. While the grand jury did not re- sume the investigation of the Dowl- ing flogging Monday it is thought
 the case will again be taken up by that body before the end of the week. investigators have been at work since the jury recessed in efforts to secure additional evidence against alleged suspects In the Bowling abduction,
 and it is believed their finding will be presented to that body soon. The flogging had almost been for gotten by the public when the kid naping of Ed Herman Daniels. North Birmingham negro, set on foot an investigation that led to the alleged implication of certain persons in the Bowling flogging. The grand jury indicted two men in the Daniels kid naping and immediately took up the investigation of the. Bowling abduc- tion. For time rumors were cur
 rent that at least five men would be indicted in connection with the flog- ging.
 When the grand jury adjourned early in March without making any report in the case 1t was first thought
 the evidence presented the body had not been sufficient to warrant in- dictmentsi being returned, although
 one of Dr. Dowling's alleged abduc-
 tors was said to have been identified
 by Annie Laurie Lightner, negro
 maid in the employ of Dr. Bowling.
 action had been deferred to permit
 to obtain additional
 proof to which they had clues. It is
 known that the investigation has
 continued since the adjournment of
 the grand jury. Chief of Police Fred
 McDuff and Detective Paul Cole, who have been investigating the case, were present at the court house Mon
 day but did not appear before the
 grand jury.
 Allies Case To Come Up.
 Monday was taken up by the jury cials said. The case of Robert Allies, Philadelphia ex-service man, charged with having two wives and failing to return a rented automobile, will be presented to the. grand jury before 1t adjourns April 1. It Is said that, charge of bigamy against Allies will not be pressed while officers are in- vestigating his assertion that he mar ri ed his second wife while in lapse of memory due. to shell shock sus- 'tained while in France.
