Jim Doss, Charlie Odell and John Nc
Bride, charged with keeping gaming
houses, contrary to the laws of Georgia,
were not in the SUPERIOR Court yesterday
morning when their cases were called,
and the bonds furnished by them at the
time of their arrest were ordered es-
treated.
1t was street talk that the men had
left the city. and it is not known whether
they intend to return before the amounts
named are collected. The sports still in
the city are of the opinion that they will
remain in the background and await de-
velopments. If the moral wave dashes
itself to pieces on the rock of evil, be-
fore December, the men will probably
return, and accept the punishment to
which some of them have been accus-
toned. The bonds cannot be collected
until December and the bondsmen have
until that time to produce the men.
The bondsmen are Michael Haniey, T.
T.. Johnson and Horace Rivers, and they
were notified of the absence of the men.
The other members of the sporting fra
ternity under indictment have not yet had
their cases assigned for trial, and it is
difficult to predict what is going to hap
pen. One of the men under indictment
stated yesterday that he will stay here
and fight the cases made against him. but
it may be that later he will change his
mind. While a gambler is always ready
to take a chance some of them are of
the opinion that they have no show to
win in a trial, and that to plead guilty
would mean certainly confinement in jail,
if not a term on the county chaingang.
Such thoughts are by no means pleas
ant, and are not conducive of sound
sleep, and while some folks may pray for
the everlasting success of the Good Gov
eminent League, there are others who
spend their leisure. in calling the members
of the organization some very hard names.
The officers evidently expected some of
the birds to fly and for that reason were
particular as to the sort of bond accepted,
when the men were arrested last Friday
night. Mr.. H. E. Wilson. the legal adj
wiser for the League, stated yesterday
that he could not say that he was sur
prised at the departure of the defendants.

LEONARD CASE CONTINUED.
Baby Boy Is still In Custody of the
Father,


The aIimony case of Marguerite e.
Leonard against Stephen s. Leonard, the
filing of which was followed by sem
sational Incidents, including the arrest of
the husband for abducting his months
old son. was called by Judge Falligant in
Chambers yesterday morning, but was
continued until Saturday.
Mrs. Leonard, and her counsel, and the
contractor and his attorneys were on
hand at the appointed hour, but the miss
ing infant was not produced in court. Mr..
Osborne asked for a postponement on
legal grounds, and the continuance was
granted. Mrs. Leonard, who wore be-
coming dress of black, seemed worried
when she learned that the case had gone
over, and that she would be without her
child, for at least several days.
The defense assured the court that the
child is in proper hands. and that he will
be we'll taken care of, although not In
the custody OF his mother. Mrs. Leonard
stated to her attorneys that while she
felt that the child would be properly
cared for she disliked to have to be sepa-
rated from him, even for a few days.
