FIRED At AUGUSTA
WHEN THEY REPORT
Georgia Railroad Authorities Are
Discharging Firemen AS Soon
As They Report to Go Out On
Runs.

Unless some unforeseen circumstance
arises all the white firemen and hostlers
in the employ of the Georgia Railroad
company here and at Augusta will go
out on a strike Monday evening at
O'Clock.
The men declare that they are contend-
ing for the right of being recognized as
at least equal with negro firemen in mat
tiers of promotion and wages; that they
have done everything possible to adjust
the situation amicably and that as last
resort they will leave the roads service.
This decision has been arrived at through
a personal vote of the firemen and ap-
plies to the men at work in the joint ter
minals at Atlanta as we'll as to those on
the engines.
Vice President E. A. Ball, of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engi-
neers has been in Atlanta for several
weeks past, representing the interests OF
the firemen and endeavoring to bring the
differences to a satisfactory issue

HAYNES SENTENCE
is INDETERMINATE
Continued from Page One

indicted for murder in the first degree.
the severest crime against society. and
although there had been a great deal Of
sympathy injected into the case, the law
did not allow a man to punish another for
wrong he had suffered or wreak ven.
geance on the man who had wronged him.
HAMS SEEMED OVERCOME.
After Justice Garretson had imposed the
sentence Captain Hams sat down and
dropped his head on the table before him.
He seemed overcome with emotion for a
few moments. but soon recovered himself
and sat upright, staring at the court.
General Hams, the defendants father,
and Major John Hams, who we're in
court. displayed much emotion. Immedi-
ately after sentence the prisoners law
years asked for a stay Of sentence for
few days in order to take an appeal. JUS
tice Garretson said the case would take
the usual course, and gave the defense
twenty-four hours in which to file an APP
peal He then remanded Captain Hams
to the custody of the sheriff.
After Captain Hams had been taken
back to the Queens county Jail, Mr.. Nc
Intyre, his counsel, said he had not de-
cided whether to appeal the case. He said
he would go to the United States court
and endeavor to obtain a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that Captain Hams
conviction was unconstitutional.
WHAT THE JUDGE SAID.
In passing sentence on Captain Hams,
Justice Garretson spoke as follows:
Peter C. Hams, Jr., after a fair and
impartial trial, you have been found guilty
of manslaughter in the first degree. The
court is unaware of any substantial error
to your prejudice. The jurors have dis
credited your plea of legal responsibility
and by their verdict have shown to you
theil utmost consideration which the
facts and the law warranted. With that
verdict the court is not disposed to dis
agree. The logic of it is that the killing
of William Z. Annis by you on August
Is, last, was not justified and was the act
of a man who was responsible therefor,
and you must receive the penalty which
the law prescribes.
That any person may assume to be
judge and executioner for a real or fan
cied wrong done to him by another, So
ciety cannot approve and the law deos
not sanction. Such a doctrine is abhor-
rent to all right-thinking men, and the
practice of it is surversive 10 modern
civilization. In this case the law of the
state has been indicated. and the claim
to a right to mete out personal vengeance
has again been condemned. Further COM
ment is needless. The result of this trial
is it's own best commentary. The judge
ment of the court is that you be SEN
fenced to states prison at hard labor for
a term of not less than eight years OF
more than sixteen years"
The fact that the members of the jury
which convicted Captain Hams had sub
mitted to the court a recommendation OF
mercy for the captain was brought out
by Eugene H Young, of the defendants
counsel. in an appeal to the court for
leniency.

thought it was their step-father return

Hes coming back to kill US ALL" the
little girl said.
The Immediate motive for Burgess kill

that she would not allow him 10 come

kissed before leaving the room OF the
murder. But the children say that they
always disagreed and that Burge had
always been cruel
Last February he and his wife sepa-

home from an industrial school in Bir-
mingham and because he objected to her
having done this. Burge is said to have
beaten her. She had a warrant sworn
out against him in a Justice court, and
he left home and had not been living
there since.
The children say that because he had
not been allowed to see his baby, Burge
had made threats and that his wife in

either today or tomorrow.
II think he killed her to keep from
