fore the Supreme Court.

A case that may set precedents for
future murder cases was argued Thurs
day before the Supreme Court by John
R Cooper of Macon, Ga. The case is
that of Joe Darsey. a prominent planter,
of Georgia, indicted for murder in con-
nection with the death of another plant
er. The case was brought to the Supreme
Court from the Georgia Supreme Court
on the constitutional point of former
jeopardy"
Darsey is charged with having shot
John Watson, of Dublin, Ga, in 1911.
The case was tried in the lower court,
and on the jury returning verdict Of
involuntary manslaughter, the judge de-
clared a mistrial. The case was taken
to the highest State court, where the
bench was divided.
1t was then brought TO the highest
tribunal on a writ of error, the point of
former jeopardy" being made, in that
the man has already been tried before
