Atlanta Ga, Sept attorney Gen
eral Terrell has been presented with Il
claim for $4,000 against the State OF
Georgia by the counsel for George FL
Penfield, of Washington.
The communication is to the effect that
George III. Penfield had sold the State
of Georgia arms and ammunition to the
amount of $4,000 and that his claim for
this sum had been adjudicated in his
favor.
The letter indicated that Penfeld was
under the impression that the next Leg
islatlIre would appropriate money stuff
Client to meet his claim.
Attorney General Terrell stated that
Georgia might have owed Penfieid $50
600 for arms, but that under the Consti-
tuition of the United States it WAS I'M
possible to collect such debt ut the
present time.
Governor Gambler is of the opinion that
the Penfield contract was made Before

though a superficial examination Of tie
executive minutes of that period does
not disclose the fact that such contract
was ever made.
