Williams had just finished serv-
ing a sentence of 60 days when
he was released. Almost imme-
diately he broke into the garage
on the county court house grounds,
stole oil and tobacco and then
took revolver and holster, de-
parted and started to make things

He was arrested and placed in
county jail, the gun was later re-
covered, and since that time he
was back in confinement. He

In Procedure

ALTHOUGH just returned from
Jacksonville where he presided at
= term of Criminal Court of

liam v. AIbury yesterday re.
esived Instructions from TalIa-
hassee to leave this week to pre-
side again in Jacksonville from
August 9 to 10 at another session
Of the court.
Judge Albury returned Monday
evening. During his occupancy
he did something which, according
to available records, had never
been done before in the Duval
county criminal court and that is
imposing fines for contempt of
court.
Man and wife had been sum-
moned to appear as witnesses for
the state, and failing to appear,
the judge sent deputies for the
witnesses. Upon their appearance
he sentenced each to pay a fine
of S. or spend 10 days in Jail. In
another case, that Of young wo-
man, he imposed a sentence of 10
day in jail or $40 for similar
contempt offense.
Judge Albury said that he was
informed that the sentences
we've said 70 be the first III beal
court history for some time.
Replying to a question of The
Citizen, the judge said the docket
he handled was crowded and prac-
tically every crime on the calen-
dar, except capital offenses, we're
listed. During the session of one
week, he said, more than $50 cases
were disposed of.

moral and monetary support he
hopes to turn the tables on his old

Most thrilling moment in the
gueriila's life came in 1922, when
he watched five Of his followers
executed by firing squad with
his own turn next. A reprieve ar
rived just in time.
Facing death under those cir
crmstances is not bad-not as
bad as a toothache," Russell said.

Shown That Much Outside
Interest Is Now Being
Manifested In Key West
ColOred Defendant Given
Three Years In Prison

Judge AlhUry recalled to the
memory of the accused that at the
March term of court he had been
sentenced to go days in jail but
that sentence had been suspended
on the promise of the prisoner
that he would not again transcend
the law. He was sentenced to
spend 80 days in Jail, the sentence
to run concurrently with the sus-
pended sentence imposed at the
March term.
Benjamin Thompson faced the
Judge on a charge of petit lar
eeny, and was told by the court
that it seems he cannot keep out
Of the hands of the law, at which
Thompson smiled in agreement.
He was charged with the zap
propriat:on' Of 10 avocados, a
bottle of sweet oil and bottle Of
capers, from the grocery store. of
Abelardo Lopez. The cost of the
pilfered articles was approximate
N S1.3S. He was sentenced to
rs days in jail.
John Sands. colored, was aecus-
ed of taking money from a man
who was keeping it for another
person. At first the act appeared
to be a holdup but later extenu-
ating circumstances were brought
out which lessened the gravity Of
the offense.
The Judge considered the DIFF.
ferent phases Of the case and an
nounced that Sands would be con-
fined to the county jail at hard
labor for period Of 60 days.
