FAVOR ERECTING
ANOTHER BUILDING
BOARD OF REVENUE WILL SOON
CONSIDER QUESTION OF QUAR
TERS FOR CRIMINAL COURT.
JUDGE FAVORS NEW BUILDING.
/
The Board of Revenue which meets
next Monday will probably take definite
action In regard to building a new crimi
nal court room. It was the idea of the
beard to build an addition to the. county
court house which will accommodate both
divisions of The court, but some of the
officials, notably Judge Dan A. Greene,
favor a separate "building. Judge Greene
in discussing the matter yesterday said:
“My idea would be to erect a three
story building on the site of the old jail.
This would give ample room for both di
visions of the court, with rooms for the
sheriff, the clerk and the grand Jury. It
would also furnish sleeping accommoda
tions for petty Juries, something which
is very "much needed by the county. As it
is now. juries have to be sent to various
restaurants. \tf7iere the sleeping accom
modations are none Foo good. One night
last fall I was awakened at 11 o’clock tly
a message from a jury that they were
overrun by insects and that they had to
be moved. I told the bailifT to take them
somewhere else, and one of these jury
men had to burn his c’othes, so full had
they become of the insects. It would be a
great convenience to have two or three
big rooms for the juries to sleep in.”
The Board of Revenue will also deter
mine the question at its next meeting of
building an eTectrlc Tight plant at the
court house. It has already let a con
tract for a w(TT, but work on this has not
begun.
In regard to the new' criminal court
room, the board TTas authority under an
act passed In l"rt9o to Issue $35,000 of bonds
for this purpose.

ANSWER FILED IN
LAND COMPANY SUIT
COMMENCEMENT DA YS
AT THREE COLLEGES
. -——!
Another Development in Accu
sations Against Baxter, Barn
sag, Bowron and Others
LAID COMPANY IS
NON-COMMITTAL IN REPLY
Says It “Does Not Know” In Regard to
the Charges and Calls On
Plaintiff for "Strict
Proof.”
THE Ensley Land Company has
filed its answer to the suit
brought against it by Alfred
Kessler & Co., minority stockholders in
the company, who are seeking to set aside
certain conveyances from the Ensley
I^and Company to the Ensley Company
and to Ersklne Ramsay on the ground
that they wore made in part and further
ance of a fraudulent scheme of the offi
cers of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad Company, hereinafter called the
Tennessee company, to procure for them
selves the most valuable portion of the
lands of the Ensley Land Company, of
ivhich some of them were also directors
and officers. Besides the Ensley Land
Company the bill made defendants of
the Ensley Company. Messrs. Nathaniel
Baxter, Jr., James Bowron, A. M. Shook,
G. B. McCormack, Erskine Ramsay, N.
N. E. Baker.
The original bill filed several weeks
ago alleged that the defendants, some
of whom w*ere officers of both the Tennes
see company and the Ensley Land Com
pany, conspired together to obtain the
property of the latter for themselves,
and to this end they organized the Ensley
Company and had the property conveyed
to it.
ANSWER NON-COMMITTAL.
The answer filed by the Ensley Land
Company Is on the whole non committal,
and it claims to be ignorant of most of
the important allegations in the bill,
which it says it can neither admit nor
deny and callB for strict proof of the
same.
The answer begins by admitting the
fact that complainants In the original bill
are stockholders in defendant, but it is
not advised and neither admits nor de
nies the allegations as to defendants.
Baxter, Bowran, Shook, McCormack and
Ramsay, as set forth In section three.
This is the section of the original bill
which charges the defendants with
wrongfully obtaining for themselves by
fraud 240 acres of the land of the Ensley
Land Company without Just compensa
tion and in fraud of the rights of the
Ensley Land Company and of complain
ants as stockholders.
The answer admits the location of Ens
ley as a town site, but it neither admits
nor denies the allegations that $60,000 was
expended thbrefor and that the debts of
the company under the management of
its officers, who were then officers and
directors of The Tennessee Company,
amounted to $120,000. It neither admits
nor denies The averment that at this time
I it was easy for defendants to have sold
^ enough of its land to pay off its debts
without sacrificing Its property, as
averred In the bill, but calls upon com- j
plalnant to make strict proof thereof.
ENHANCEMENT OF VALUES.
It admits that the Tennessee Company
determined to build a steel mill at Ens
ley. but It is unadvised as to whether this
fact became known to defendants, Bow
ron, Shook, Baxter, Ramsey, McCormack,
or either, nor does it know whether said*
fact was known to the public or its stock
holders. It admits that this determina
tion to locate a plant did naturally in
crease the value of the land, but whether
the directors could, by reason of such
enhancement, have sold sufficient land to
pay off the Indebtedness of the company
this defendant is not advised and neither
admits nor denies the same.
Defendant does not know and neither
admits nor denies the allegations In sec
tion nine of the bill to the effect that the
defendants. Baxter, Bowron. Shook, Mc
Cormack and Ramsay conceived and
formed a plot to obtain the property of
the Ensley Land Company at grossly in
adequate prices, but calls upon the com
plainant to make proof of said allegation.
Further answering this section the de
fendant admits that the officers and di
rectors of said Tennessee company and
of this defendant were substantially as
Set forth In said section and that they
continued to hold their offices respect
j ively In the manner set forth in said soo
• tion. That w'hether said McCormack and
Bowron retired from their respective of
fices for the purpose of outwardly avoid
ing dealing directly with the said Ens
ley Land Company for their own ad
vantage, but In order to do so in effect,
without the appearance thereof, and for
such purpose, and with the connivance
of Baxter and Shook, they caused to he
elected as their successors in office ns
such directors of the Ensley Band Com
pany, employes of the Tennessee com
pany under the direction and control of
said McCormack, Bowron, Baxter and
Shook, and that said employes so elect
ed directors of defendant had no sub
stantial pecuniary Interest In the prop
erty, assets or w'elfare, of said com
pany, but were under the direction and
control of said McCormack, Baxter,
Shook and Bowron. this defendant
neither admits nor denies said allega
tions. but calls for strict proof thereof.
Answering section 14 of the bill the de
fendant says that it believes it to be
true that no steps weye taken by said
: Shook. Bowron and McCormack as con
trolling officers and directors of the Ens
ley Band Company to redeem from the
said judgment in said bill of complaint
set forth recovered against said Ensley
Land Company.
Defendant does not know whether any

Mr. W. J. Murphy, general manager of ’
the Queen and Crescent Route, which
Includes the Alabama Great Southern, '
and Mr. C. II. Ackert, general manager
of the Southern Railway, arrived In Bir

yesterday about the matter of extending

Mr. Murphy has been general ♦

a in the country. a
...
line are urging this extension of the
schedule and their petition has been prac
tically granted.
The train In question Is operated be
tween Selma and Akron by the Southern
and between Akron and Tuscaloosa by
the Alabama Great Southern. Mr. Mur
phy said that he was not ready to state
olffclnlly what his decision would be. All
he would say for publication was that
he had taken up the matter, and that It
would probably be several weeks before
a definite announcement would be made.
A number of details will have to be ar
ranged and these details take time.
But while Mr. Murphy declined to say
that his decision would be favorable, It
is understood that it will be. The people j
living in that part of the Black Belt
traversed by this line are earnestly de
sirous of trading in Birmingham, and
Birmingham merchants naturally regard
that territory as tributary to this city.
When Birmingham Is made the ter
minus of this Selma train, the schedule,
it is said, will be: Leave Birmingham at 6
a. m.; arrive Tuscaloosa 8:05 a. m., Akron

Mr. Ackert Is comparatively a ♦

came to the Southern from the Mo- ♦

of the other defendants was the owner of
said Judgment under the sale of Mary T.
Warner, executrix, and neither admits
nor denies the same but calls for strict
proof thereof.
STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.
Defendant admits its stockholders’ meet
ing of January 26, but whether the repre
sentations alleged to have been made at
such meeting by Defendant Shook were
In fact made It neither admits nor denies.
It admits that Defendant McCormack
did make a proposition at said meeting
to purchase 220 acres of land of the
Ensley Land Company, but is not advised,
and therefore, neither admits nor denies
that said proposition was in fact made
by the Ensley Company.
Further answering Section 1G defendant
is not advised and neither admits nor
denies the allegations therein contained
as to the organization of the Ensley Com
pany. or whether it w’as organized for
the purpose of providing machinery for
the defendants to appropriate for their
benefits lands of the Ensley Land Com
pany.
Dorenaant admits tne conveyance or us
lands by the Ensley Company to defend
ants Barker and Bowrop on December
28. 1897. but whether snld Ensley Com
pany should have made said conveyance
to the Ensley Land Company defendant
is not advised and neither admits nor
denies.
Defendant admits the execution of the
declaration of trust set out In Section
19 of the bill, but says that so far as It
Is advised from its records said declara
tion was not authorised or approved by
said stockholders or directors of said
Ensley Land Company. It neither ad
mits nor denies the allegation that the
same was made by defendants Shook, Mc
Cormack, Baxter, Bowron and Ramsay
merely for purposes of fraud or deceit.
It admits the conveyance by Baxter
and Bowron as trustees of said Ensley
Company of 220 acres of land on Feb
ruary 22, 1898 and also admits that said
lands were the most valuable of the Ens
ley Ixind Company, and it admits the
other conveyances mentioned In section
20 of the bill, but whether they were
made fraudulently and in fnrtherance of
the scheme and plan set forth in said
bill, it is not advised and neither admits
nor denies the same. It admits the lands
were very valuable, but whether th®
values as put upon the lands by the com
plainants are correct It does not know.
SUBMITS IT TO COURT.
Answering section 21 defendant says
that it neither admits nor denies the at- ,
legations with reference to the collusion
and fraud of the other defendants or as
to their purpose and aim in procuring
the said several conveyances therein set
forth, nor as to whether said defendants
acted In violation of the duties and ob
ligations owed by them to their respec
tive companies and to the stockholders
thereof but this defendant admits that
said Shook, Bowron, Baxter, Ramsay and
McCormack were directors of the Ten
nessee company, and also constituted the
governing committee of snld company for
the business conducted at Ensley, and
that said company was largely Interested
as the owner of the stock of the Ensley
Band Company, but as to the duties and
obligations devolving upon said defend
ants by reasons of said relations, this de
fendant submits the same to this court
for adjudication.
The answer Is signed by Augustus Ben
ners as attorney. None of the other de
fendants have yet Hied their answers.
