 Warner

Frank Owens, negro, alleged ax man, charged with making an attack upon two white men last Saturday night, will be tried June 16 on two charges of robbery, according to announcement Thursday by Judge William E. Fort, after agreeing to postponement of the case. sl
 The hearing to. determine the de- fendant's physical condition and the wisdom of placing him on trial for his life during the present week, was con tinued Thursday morning. Physicians were placed on the stand and testified that his temperature showed wide varia- tions, being several degrees above nor nal Wednesday and several below Thursday. After obtaining their opinion in the matter, the postponement was ordered.
 The case cannot be tried before June 16, as robbery is a capital case and can only be tried during capital week without waiver of special venire. When arraigned Thursday morning, the de- fendant said he didn't hit those men," saying nothing of the robbery charge.
 Hospital authorities said the two alleged victims, l.. M. Watkins and Richard Warner, probably would be of two weeks. They are expected to able to leave the hospital at the end be used as important witnesses by the nrosecution
