Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 12.-The su-

Judge Hammond of Augusta, award
ing the two Zachry children to the
father, thereby further complicating
the sensational case in which requisi.
ton papers by the governor of South

Gov. 'SlatOn Tuesday morning.
According to the ruling of the su-
preme court, the decision awarding
the children to the father is re.
versed and remanded to Judge Han
mond's court for further hearing. T
ruling further specifies that JU -
Hammond may exercise his discr g
in awarding the custody of the g
dren, which is contrary to the Z a n
rendered by Judge Hammon| : nc
held previously that he VIZ : lced
to award the children to % be-

effect of the ruling will b - Iut the
whole matter back in Augusta

Zachry will be awarded tie custody
Of the two children.
Gov. Slaton based his refusal on the
fact that no State law had been vic.
lated by Zachry in South Carolina AMI
that the whole case against the de.
fendant grew out OF the desire of Mrs
Zachry to obtain the custody of the
two children.
