low Employe Killed-Mother
of Deceased Loses Suit.

{. F. Richardson. a detective for
the 500 railroad, was found guilty by
a jury In the district court last Fri
day Of second degree grand larceny.
1t took the jury just one hour to ar
rive at it's verdict. A stay of sentence
was asked and granted lending argu-
ments for new trial. The bail was
raised from $1,000 to $2,5OO. 1t was
furnished.
Richardson was accused by the
state of having induced Hugh Nc
kinnon, a switchman to loot the 500
freight station of six tubs of butter
last March. The evidence showed
that Mckinnon in the company of
Richardson, did steal the butter, but
it was also shown that the detective
had for his purpose the defaming of
Mckinnon's reputation which would
figure strongly in a personal injury
suit which was pending aainst the
500 and in which Mckinnon was a
material witess.
IniquitOus Employers Liability.
The story of the trial adds another
tale to the iniquitious system of en-
ployers' liability, and it shows the
lengths to which a railroad corpora
ton and it's attorneys will go to pre-
vent justice from being done, and par
ttcularly to save corporation from
paying damages.
A little over year ago a switch
man was killed near Garfield avenue

was Hugh Mckinnon, fellow switch

OWNERSHIP AT TALLuLAH

Editor The Georgian.
The Georgia Power Company has
had articles printed in the Atlanta
papers in which they say that the
dam which they are building at
Tallulah Falls will back up the wa
ters OF the river and form an i'm
mense lake. which will be more
beautiful than the river as it now
IS and that the water will run over
the dam on into the channel of the
river and that the dam will not dis
turb the falls
The power company is trying to
sidestep the issue The question is
not whether the dam will destroy
the beauty of the falls, but wheth-
er the legislature of Georgia is go
ing to allow the state of Georgia TO
be dispossessed of fifteen millions
of dollars worth e c"0 ...---t.
If the power company own the

river, they have right. under the

dam or any other structure on this
land, whether it will mar the beau
ty of the scenery or not.
Every lawyer except corporation
counsel who has examined the rec
ords and survey of this iand is of
the opinion that the land has never
been granted, and that it is still the
property of the state of Georgia.
The corporation officers should
know that they have no title that
will bear being aired in open court.
Their counsel should know that the
power company does not really own
the contested property. Either this
or they do not deserve the reputa-
ton which they bear as being
among the best lawyers of the
state
The corporation says it is ana
