w. II. Griffin. the mayor Of Kingston,
several months ago has given himself
up to the prison commission Of Georgia,
and asked that he be sent to the prison
farm at once, Notwithstanding the fact
that his petition for q new trial had
not been disposed Of finally at the time.
Wooten was sent up for ten years for
killing Griffin, and appealed his case to
the supreme court. The case was af-
drmed few days ago, and Wooten read
about it in the supreme court head
notes, printed in the daily newspapers
the same day.
He proceeded Immediately to the
court house in Gainesville, withdrew
his petition for a new trial, and left at
once for Atlanta, where he surrendered
to the prison commission

two weeks it will take the supreme

realize that he can reduce his sentence
in prison materially by good behavior.

this afternoon sentenced j. ". Griffin
and r. II. McCrary to five years each
in the penitentiary for the misdemeanor
charges to which the two officers Of

Company, which failed last February,

which did business as a banking COM
pany for few months. McCrary was
cashier. Both had been prominent in
business affairs in north Georgia, Grif-
fin being president Of the Crawford oil
