criminal case to take the stand and
make staten ent not under oath.
II is proposed that the defend
ant be required to go under oath
if he desires to make a statement
to the jury and as sworn witness
he can, under the ElkiEs bill be
cross-questioned by the prosecu-
ton, but only on those things to
which he has testified.
Senator Elkins says that under
the present system a defendant
can make any sort of rambling
statement which sometimes preiu-
dices the jury where it really does
not refer directly to the case.

Representative PauIk's Local
Bills.

Hon. W. 7. Paulk introduced
last Friday two bills of local in
terest. One of the bills will re-
peal the present law, providing
three commissioners districts for
the county. This bill, if it be-
comes a law, will enable the
voters to choose three commits
sioners for the county without
regard to their residence.
A bill to create the Office of
county supervisor of roads, with
full power to lay out, maintain
and construct roads. A salary
of 81, 900 a year is to be fixed in
the bill. 1t is rumored that Geo.
Rogers is to be named in the bill
by Mr.. Paulk. but the friends of
Robert B. Fletcher are making
strenuous efforts to land him for
this important Office.
The Leader Enterprise stands
for the rule of the people, and
we would prefer to have this po-
sition made elective from the
start, so that all of the people
may have voice in selecting the
man in whose charge will be the
entire expenditures of the county.
We certainly believe the judg-
ment of all the people will be.e1ual
to our Representative and the
small cost of holding an election.
S65 for the entire county,

lance of the rule of the people.

Senator ElkinS
Introduces ImpOr-
tant Measure
Grace Case Inspires Move
ment to Reform In Grim
inal Procedure
Atlanta Journal

Reform of criminal procedure
growing out of the sensational trial
of Mrs. Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace
year ago was proposed to the
state Friday by o. H. Elkins of
the Fifteenth district.
Senator Elkins taking umbrage
at the unusual features aof the
Grace case, proposes to amend
section 1887 of the criminal code
so as to permit husband to be a
competent, but not ascompellable
witness against his wife when she
is charged with doing him bodily
harm. This, Senator Elkins de-
clares by law is now permitted of
the wife against her husband and
he sees no good reason why the
law should not be reciprocal.
1t will be remembered that
Eugene Grace was not allowed to
testify in court against his wife.
Under the present proposed law
a husband will not have to testify
against his wife, but he can do SO
if he desires to.
Another criminal reform pro-
posed by Senator Elkins is a modi-
fication of section 1896 of the code
which allows a defendant in a
