HILL WILL GO AFTER
ALLEGED CONFIDENCE
MAN IN CHICAGO JAIL
Eight Indictments Against
Wo|ford Already Returned
In CIothinq Game

Chief Deputy Sheriff Henry S. Hill
is scheduled to leave Birmingham for
Chicago with extradition papers to
bring back r. W. Wolford. alleged
confidence man. against whom
numerous charges have been made
that he conducted a swindle game
by pretending to run a clothing lot
terry under the name of the jackson
Tailoring company.
Eight indictments returned against
Wolford are in the hands of the
sheriff and extradition papers to Sc
cure his delivery to a Birmingham
official are to arrive Monday from
Montgomery While only eight in
dictments have been returned
against Wolford so far, it is claimed
that there are several thousand com
plants against him here.
Detective w. L. Brannon of the city
homicide squad was to have made
the trip to Chicago to bring Wolford
back, but owing to a Friday night
ruling of the civil service board that
any city officer going after a pris-
oner must pay his own expenses and
lose the time absent from Birming-
ham. he declined 10 go. The purpose
of the civil service board ruling, it
is stated, is to tighten the city eX
penses. While city officer may
work up the evidence on a case, the
task of going out of Birmingham to
bring back an offe7ler will be dele
gated to the sheriff's force. it was
stated.

COMPLETED DRAF I.
Of V|ADUCT PLANS
EXPECTED MONDAY
Engineers Of Three Railroads
To Meet With A. ].
Hawkins

Completed preparatory plans and
specifications are expected from the
engineers of the Louisville and Nash
Vile. Southern and Seaboard rail-
roads when they meet Monday morn
ing in the city hall for a CONSULATE
with A. j. Hawkins. city engineer, to
discuss the project of opening more
ways for traffic between the north
and south divisions of old Birming-
ham across Railroad avenue.
Two proposals or methods of re-
LEVINE the present congestion have
been under advisement-an additional
viaduct at Twenty fourth street or
it's vicinity, or raising the railroads
right of way west of Twenty first
street for several blocks and allow
ing the streets like Eighteenth. and
soma west of 1t, to pass under the
railroads.
The Louisville and Nashville in a
report on the matter some weeks ago
expressed the desire to do what the
city wants. but the attitude of the
other lines is less definite. The city
authorities are most anxious for the
track raising and street lowering
plan in that it will open up a number
of streets. What is spoken of a the
more economical project is an addi-
t:onal viaduct east of Twentieth
street.
1t is regarding details of cost. con-
struction and other matters the sew
eral engineers are to consult. Their
recommendation will be submitted tn
the city commission and later the
presidents of the railroads will be
invited to attend a consultation with
the commissioners.

the most gentle and do not care to
share the glory they wish for their
children. But they will come into
their own sunday and their just dues
will be sung from the choir lofts
of every Birmingham church. The
story of the mother love which min

whom he roomed for several years.
Wood stated Smith was very queer
in his actions and always wore two
automatic revolvers. He was known
as "A danger Gus man and very reticent
about talking of his past life and eX-
periences.
Wood asked hfm one night of a

in the leg while a cowboy in Wyom =
ing, and referred that the man who
shot him never lived to tell the story.
He bore other marks on his BODY. The
tip of his right thumb was shot off
in an encounter near Second avenue
and TWenty-first street several
months ago.
In one conversation with Smith,
Wood stated he showed him a clip
