.fnlER TRIAL WILL not
BE TAKEN UP Till AUG. 5

At the session of circuit court held
this morning, II was decided that the
trial Of Jacob Eh!er, OF Hancock.
charged with the murder Of Ernest
Hendrlckson. would not be begun until
August 3. IL Is probable that the Eh-
Ter trial will be the longest and most
important on the criminal calendar,
and as Judge O'Brien expects to leave
on June 10 to attend the Democratic
convention at Baltimore IL would be
impossible to complete the trial before
his departure. Judge X. G. Flanagan
Of the Marquette circuit will preside
in the absence of Judge O'BTien, but
will not take W the Ehier trial. which
will be deferred until Judge o'Brien's
return.

squarely on record in favor of such
legislation.
1t is difficult to frame a compulsory
arbitration law, of course-that is, such
a law as will meet approximately the
approval of both capital and labor.
And yet it probably is a fact that a
majority of the people of Georgia would
like to see such a law ON the statute
books, and the statesman who succeeds
in getting it there likely will win a
measure of enviable fame.
Congressman William G. Brantley, of
the Eleventh district, will be the guest
of honor at the annual dinner of the
Atlanta Bar association tonight, at the

Mr. Brantley will address the asso-

Judge Fite was fined $500 by the court

In the order of resentence-to eight

The defendant has been hereto

misconceptions of the records, and
on more technicalities which did
