Q O 70 Dn,Ylxins Gets New Trial.

The court reversed ana remanded for new trial the decision of the lower court, which convicted Frank Dawkins of Lee county of violating the prohibition law. In this, as in number of previous decisions the court of appeals held th3~~Se finding of a still in the vicinity of a mans house does not constitute sufficient evidence to convict him of violating the law.
 The court of appeals held that the real purpose of juvenile. courts is not to provide punishment, but to pre- vent children from becoming crimi- nals: that the statutes creating tu : venile courts are not criminal stat utes Easing it's decision along this liue, the court upheld the decision of the Mobile circuit court which re- fused trial by jury to Robert Prince. Prince was adjudged de- linquent in the Mobil4tuvenile court. and appealed to the circuit court where he demanded a jury trial, which was refused. Thereupon he appealed to the court of appeals on the ground of this refusal.
 The appellate court held that com mitment to the boys detention School at Mobile as provided by the lower court was not in the nature of pun ishment and that the trial judge was within his rights in denying the de- mand for Jury trial.

ANOTHER TR|AL IS GIVEN TO RATLIFF
Court Of Appeals Holds That Judge Erred In Russell
 Murder Case
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD
Montgomery, Ala, Dec. lS J


 The court of appeals today reversed and remanded for new trial the de- cisions of the Russell circuit court, which imposed q sentence of 10 years upon oscar Ratliff for the murder of Roy Smith. The court of appeals helG that the trial judge erred in allowing an irrelevant dying statement of smith to be admitted as evidence and in allowing the state to prove the existence of a former difference be- tween the defendant and third party, and further. that the defend ants motion for new trial should have been granted
 The court affirmed the conviction Of John Buckely of Mobile, sentenced for a statutory offense, and of Josh Miller of Jefferson county who re- ceived a sentence of year and day for killing James Johnson.
 Williams Ordered Imprisoned.
 A case of considerable interest was that of Albert Williams, Etowah county convict, who was given sen tence of six to eight years for for gery. After being sentenced In April, 1928, he went to the penitentiary pending appeal, but when the Iegis- lature later passed a law allowing bail pending appeal to persons who received sentences of not more than 10 years, he sought to obtain his lib- erty, and was granted bond by the judge of Etowah circuit court. His case on the matter of right to obtain bond was heard in the Montgomery circuit court, which decided that Will liams was entitled to bond. In de- ciding the case today the court of ap- peals did not pass on the question Of whether a convict sentenced pEior to the act extending the bailable sen tence to 10 years may seek release on bond. The appellate court held that the appeal taken by Williams to the court of apeals removed his case from the Jurisdiction of the Etowah circuit court, which consequently had no right to grant hin. bond, and that any rights which he may possess in the matter must be obtained through the court of appeals. The decision of the lower court was. reversed and Williams ordered remanded to the convict authorities.
