A fatal automobile accident occurred
on the road north Of Pennock last Sat-

them some fresh air. The first parties
to arrive were Andrew and Elmer

car. Lynn Anderson, with wife and
Miss T1llie Hanson were the next to
arrive on the scene and with the unit
ed efforts Of all the car was lifted. DR..

death of Mrs. Floren. This sad acci-
dent was 4 shock to the whole commun-
ity. It Is the second fatal auto acci-
dent to occur in the county.

ANDPRISONS, IS
PLEAOF DORSEY.
Solicitor Favors Legislative In
vestigation to Make Both
Systems More Efficient.

Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey, of
the Fulton County Superior Court,
has given out an interview strongly
indorsing the proposal to appoint
legislative committee to make thor
ough investigation of the penal sys-
tenn and criminal court procedure in
Georgia, with a view to improving
both, increasing their efficiency and
bringing them thoroughly up to date.
As Solicitor General, Mr.. Dorsey is
constantly brought in contact with
many difficulties under the Georgia
law of convicting man before
jury, even when his guilt is certain.
Il think one of the difficulties"
says Mr.. Dorsey, Ties in the fact
that the members Of the average jury
know that the conditions which sur
round a convict in Georgia tend to
make a man worse and not better,
and that juries are consequently re-
luctant to deliver even a guilty man
into the hands sof justice that will
merely infiict punishment on him
without much likelihood of doing him
any good.
IF the penal system were revived
along practical and thoroughly con-
sentative lines yet in such a way
that it would make for the moral and
physical betterment of convicts, 1
believe our juries would not only be
more willing to convict in proper
cases, but would also be willing to
give the criminal courts wider author
ity, which they stand in such great
need of"
