CABANISS WAS CONVICTED
MANY PEOPLE SHED TEARS DUR
ING THE TRIAL OF THE
AGED BANKER.

MACON, Ga.-J, w. Cabaniss was
found guilty of declaring dividends
which the Exchange Bank had not
earned in verdict rendered at IL,
O'Clock Saturday night. He was rec
commended to the mercy of the court
Judge Whipple passed sentence at
once, imposing a fine of $500 and
term of twelve months on the state
prison farm. Attorneys for the de-
tense Immediately asked for a new
trial, and bond was made in the sum
of $4,000.
c. M. Orr, cashier of the bank, and
who came to Macon from Dawson,
was convicted of embezzlement in
March, 1908, and sentenced to serve
seven years in the state penitentiary.
The trial OF j. w Cabaniss afford
! ed the dramatic climax Saturday in
the arguments of attorneys. Early
Saturday morning the accused bank
| president took the stand and made a
clear, strong impression upon the
jury IN statement of more than
1000 words in his own behalf. He
said his life had been as an open
book in the community more than
sixty years. He wept as he said that
II he had called for friends the few
days before the Exchange Bank failed
| he would have had scores of them
He denied in emphatic terms ever
knowingly setting his name upon a
dividend sheet when his bank failed
to earn the money. He said his di-
rectors voted the dividends and
passed upon them as he had done
himself, and did know as much of
the terrible shortage as he had ever
known, Many of the states charges
were reasonably explained away, and
his open, frank statement had much
to do with the action of the jury in
reducing the offense to a misdemea-
nor.
Joe Hall Held Them Spellbound.
FELTON, Hatcher opened the argu-
ment for the defense. He was fol-
lowed by Roland Ellis for Mr.. Caba-
Miss. Thomas Fielder then arraigned
the accused man in fierce language
for the prosecution. Hon. Joe Hall
spoke and was followed by Walter
Grace, solicitor general After the
supper hour Mr.. Hall was given an
other long time for the defense, and
he held the jury and crowded room
full of hearers spellbound in his APP
lpeal for the vindication of Cabaniss
At $50 Judge Whipple began his
/ charge, and at 10 the case was sub
mitted to the jury.
Cabaniss' Brother at His Side.
All day intense interest was shown,
and great crowds attended the trial
as the case grew in tension. Many
people shed tears, the arguments of
the speakers having swayed them
with wonderful effect. H. H. Caba-
Mss of Atlanta, a brother, was the
only close relative of the accused man
who remained to the last by his side
No more pathetic or touching case
than this has passed the. dockets here
in many years.

cheers of the, spectators began.

grim visaged pilots and their equally
begrimed machines swept by the
grandstand, in some Instances almost

siasm did not diminish until the last
