HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
GOES THE PRISONER
Old Negro Was Released on order
from Judge Speer.


Perhaps one of the most highly APP
preciated Christmas gifts received in
Savannah was that which came to
Robert Bell. an old negro prisoner
serving sentence in the Chatham coun-
ty Jail for Illicit distilling.
The gift was an order from Judge
Emory Speer authorizing the release
of the old man and returning him to
his family. The sentence is suspended
pending the good behavior of the ne
gro. and provided he does not again
attempt to make liquor without the
consent of the government, and with
cut paying his tax. The policy of sus-
pending sentence pending good beha-
vior has been followed by Judge Speer
for years and 1t has been found to
bring far better results than that Of
compelling the men to serve out their
entire sentence.
