Threatens to BaIk.

LOS ANGELES. CAL. June 10
Sudden termination of the trial OF
Clarence S Darrow for jury bribery
is threatened today by the prosecu-

The defense won an important vic
tory when Judge Hutton sustained his
ruling, permitting Darrow's attorneys
to put on the stand Anton Johanssen
and Olaf Tvietmoe to prove that Oar
row was not connected with the re-
moval from the jurisdiction of the Cal

a state Mcnamara witness.
District Attorney Ford had intimaetd
that he would be compelled to end the
trial if Judge Hatton sustained his
ruling
1t was said that should the prosecu-
ton refuse to proceed, the court would
be compelled either to appoint a spe-
cial prosecutor or dismiss the case ano
free Darrow.
In this event the district attorney

WATSON MUST BE
SQUARE MERCER
Game Commissioner Tells Of
the "Disgorging' of $4,000
to the Boyd Heirs.

state Game and Fish Commissioned
Jesse Mercer. of Fitzgerald. who
threatens to force Thomas T. Watson
to right an alleged financial wrong
done the widow of Watson's law part
ner, Green if he (Mercer) had to go
to Thomson and ''cowhide" Watson
into doing it, has added another chap
ter to Watson Mercer story.
Mercer says, merely for fee, Mr.
Watson sought and brought q fake
law suit against the executors of the
late Captain P E. Boyds estate one
of whom Mr. Mercer was, and that aft
er grabbing a big fee for himself, Wat
son threw to the winds all pretense Of
necessity for his employment by the
Boyd heirs. and undertook to appro-
pirate practically adj of It to himself
thus wronging his law partner, Green
then on his death bed, and since wrong
ing his widow, who has endeavored
In vain to recover from Watson.
Watson said Mercer was only mad
at him because Watson had forced
Executor Mercer to "disgorge SIS,
600" to the Boyd heirs Watson repre-
sented.
Mercer has sent the following wire
to The Georgian;
I see what Tom Watson says
about disgorging $4,000 by execu
tors of the Boyd estate.
That is one of his sharp tricks
The amount should have been
much more, and would have been
but for Toms eagerness for fee
Watson settled for much less than
the interest Of his clients was
worth, but he got the fee, and
that's what he seemed to want
The amount "disgorged" by the
executors was a smaller amount
than we would have paid if there
had been no Watson in the case,
looking carefully to his fee.
He must now treat the widow Of
his old law partner on the square
and not heap indignity on her be-
cause she is defenseless

FUN
STARTS TUESDAY
Thousands of Atlanta Young
Sters Eagerly Awaiting Sea-
son of FroliC in Parks.

Atlanta playground directors met
today and made final preparations to
loose the spirit of frolic for thousands
of children on the city Fairgrounds
Tuesday
Dan Carey, general manager of parks,
and Miss Mary Barnwell. supervisor of
Fairgrounds, have just returned from
the American Playground association
convention at Cleveland, filled with all
the new ideas of how to conduct these
institutions. They promise that the
opening of these little parks Tuesday
will begin the greatest playground sea-
son Atlanta has ever known
THE children will come to these
parks by the thousands" said Mr.. Ca
rey. "Al that is necessary is to invite
them. and they rush to the. Fairgrounds
in hordes. What We hope to impress
by the work this summer is the poor
appropriation in comparison with other
cities and to arouse a greater interest,"
among citizens generally in this deep
meaning feature of park work
Training for Future Citizens.
Miss Barnweu, who is to be in active
charge of all the Fairgrounds, said
undoubtedly better quality of citi-
zenship Is developed from the boy who
is loyal to his team, and after his time
at bat goes gladly to the hot, dusty
field to catch an occasional fly than
from the boy who loses interest as Soon
as he has had his try at the bat.
That is just the sort of spirit the
playground teaches" she said. 1T is a
recognized fact that the child who has
had the richest play experience Is best
prepared for the complex life of citi-
zenship.
u do not know why it Is. but At
lantans do not seem to have awakened
to the real significance Of this work.
We are going to try to reveal its real
Importance.
Parents Urged To Attend.
I'VE open eleven Fairgrounds this
summer. We want the city officials
and parents to come out and see how
they are conducted When they see the
young women directors leading the
children in games that develop team
spirit swiftness, fairness, the right at
titude toward defeat and success, and,
what is more obvious, health and vigor,
through play in the open air and sun
shine. Fairgrounds will have impressed
themselves as among the great institu-
tions of the city.
And we will show them the chill
dren just as jolly and care-free as
though their play had no serious mean
ing
The hours al the Fairgrounds will be
from 3 to 11:30 in the morning and
from 5 80 to $50 in the evenings.
