Court Notes.
The grand jury which sat at Bessemer
condemns the practice of firing at crimi
nals by officers of the law. They say in
the eye of the law it is better that a
fleeing prisoner, charged with a misde
meanor, should escape than that his life
should be taken.
They say also that the operation of
the nlckel-in-the-slot machine is Illegal
in Bessemer.

DAUGHDRILL BROUGHT HERE
He Is Now in the Jefferson County Bastile for
Safe Keeping—His General Appear
ance and Manner.
Colin Daughdrill has teen brought to
Birmingham and placed in the Jefferson
county jail for safe keeping.
Daughdrill killed J. I. Bates at Gadsden
several days ago. Mr. Bates travelled
for Gaulbert, Beaslee & Co. of Louisville.
At the time of the shooting Daughdrill
was out on bond for killing Yardmaster
Armstrong Stewart at Gadsden two
years ago.
A State Herald reporter called at the
county Jail yesterday for the purpose of
Interviewing Daughdrill. but he refused
to talk. He said he was acting under
the advice of his attorneys, and seemed
to think that the newspapers had given
him "the worst of it," as he expressed it,
in their accounts of the killing. He is
scrupulously neat in appearance. He is
about medium heighth, but very thin.
His features are clear cut and sharp and
he wears no beard or moustache He
has piercing brown eyes and dark hair.
He talks well, with a determined ring
in his tones, and his general appearance
and manner indicates thal he is a dan
gerous man when aroused.
