A Georgia Lawyer Points
Out the Defects in Our
Law System.
E. A. Jones Says the Trouble Is Not With
Judges Nor Juries, But in the Method
the State Pursues in Enforcing
Original Laws.

AS an instance of the workings
Of this outgrown system, take the
Coweta Circuit. 1t is composed Of
the Counties of Meriwether. Cow
eta, Carroll, Heard and Troup, all
OF them large and populous coun-
ties. The Superior Court under
the present system convenes reg
ularly every six months in each of
these counties. Suppose a homi
eide is committed in Troup Coun-
ty immediately after the adjourn
ment of the August term. There
is absolutely no person or agency
in the County to take charge OF
the States side of the case for a
period of nearly six months. No
Grand Jury, no Solicitor, no at
torney. If person of wealth is
killed, his relatives will employ
counsel to prosecute, but in the
great number of cases the dead
man was poor, and therefore no
counsel are employed. In the
meantime the defendant secures
counsel, who diligently and per
sistently attend to his defense.
His counsel have more than. FIVE
months in which to prepare his
defense, secure evidence and take
all the necessary steps to build up
an lronclad defense for him, and
the State of Georgia has no one
to counteract one single move OF
the defendant. The Solicitor
comes in February to attend to
all the accumulated business Of
the county. He has probably ten
murder cases. Has no time to pre-
pare them for prosecution. Knows
none Of the facts until he reach
es court, gets the Grand Jury to
work and the witnesses are
brought to the Grand Jury. And
the result is that, however able
and diligent he may be, he can not
cope with or meet the defense
which the defendants attorneys
have prepared after five months
persistent labor. No lawyer,
however capable and learned he
may be. can without prepara-
ton compete with one of mediocre
ability who has had five months
preparation on his case. It is
naturally 80. 1t is the same ola
story of the hare and the tortoise
IN , different guise.

PLEASE tell of what value
the fourth dimension will
be to science, and also Of

what monetary or commercial
benefit?
A, 1t is not yet shown that the
transcendental theorems of the
fourth dimension have practical
scientific value. But this may be
demonstrated in the future ex-
pansion OF very high mathemat-

The prize essayist on this sub
Ject, Lieutenant Colonel Graham
DENLY Fitch, begins his memora-
BILE treatise with this remark:
1T is impossible to form a mental
picture of the fourth dimension"
Yet, he went on with his adj
mirable monograph on this most
fascinating and exquisitely re-
fined mathematical subject. Often

fourth dimension back on the Ii

Editor The Georgian:
I have read With riZasure the
article of Mr.. JrNr r.. Ttson,
which appeared in your issue of
Tuesday relative to our court
procedure. In the main, | agree
with him. The scope of testing a
jurors fitness should be broad
ened within limits which will be
consistent with latter day condi-
lions, but never in such manner
as to clog the wheels of our
courts and produce such delays
in securing jury TO try cases as
occurred in the instances cited
by him,
In opening your columns for a
discussion of our procedure, your
action is commendahle. A full
and untrammeled discussion of
the subject by laymen, judges
and lawyers will be of inestimable
benefit to the public. 1t will in
evitably result in the defects in
our procedure. if any there be,

A County Attorney.

Does any business man, COM
pany or corporation in the State
handle their litigation in such a
manner. Imagine a railroad hav-
ing a damage suit for 81 900 not
having it's local attorney, its law
agents and it general counsel all
on the case as soon as the injury
occurred. Think of it waiting five
months before ever trying to Sc
cure evidence to protect its rights.
Think of it even waiting five
month before looking into the
case, and then sending some one
who does not know the influences
and surroundings of the opposite
party.
Yet the State of Georgia per-
sistently pursues that policy. The
State is wilfully blind to the &C
tual facts. The State through
its own negligence is responsible
for that state of facts to exist
AND NOT THOSE HONOR
ABLE AND UPRIGHT JURORS
WHO RENDER VERDICTS UN-
DER THE EVIDENCE AID
DUCED TO THEM ON THE
TRIAL, AND WHO ARE UN-
JUSTLY BLAMED FOR DOING
THEIR SWORN DUTY.
Then, what is the remedy? IL
is for the State of Georgia to use
modern, businesslike methods
in prosecuting and enforcing her
laws.
That can be done by abolishine
the system of Solicitor General
and the establishment in It's stead
the office of County Attorney for
each county, whose duty shall be
to attend to all of the business
of the State in his county. At
tend all committal trials ar6
handle the cases for the State OF
Georgia from the time of the per
petration of the crime until final
judgment is had. He will be on
the ground as soon as the de-
PENDANTS lawyer, if not earlier;
he will be familiar with all the
influences which surround the
case; he will know the evidence
in the case; he will get on the
trail while the scent Is hot; ana
above all, HE CAN PUT ALL
OF THE EVIDENCE FOR THE
STATE BEFORE THE JURY
ON THE TRIAL OF THE CASE,
AND NO ONE NEED FEAR
THAT THE JURIES OF GEOR-
GIA WILL CONTINUE THEN
TO DO AS THEY DO NOW
RENDER VERDICTS UNDER
THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED
TO THEM.
This is on principle. The State
and each of the counties wouI'
save large sums of money by the
change. And it will result in the
State and the counties getting
services rendered which under our
system they are now failing 70

At meeting OF the municipality Town
Councillor James Clark was arrested 1T
the instance OF the public prosecutor and
taken to the police ONCE on a charge OF
sedition. Bail was fixed at $750 which
had to be paid down I'm cash. Owing Do
the late hour Clark's fellow labor ceun-
cilors had difficulty IN finding the money.
Clark's arrest arose out of an alleged
seditious speech which he delivered at .
meeting on Market Square. On that &C.
casion Clark followed Colin Wade OF
Germiston. who deplored the downfall
OF the British lion" England was the
Hon, and the government OF this country
might be lkened to a hyena which.
however. had not the courage to md his
own food, but depended on the old Lion
for support
Clark then remarked that he disagreed
with Mr.. Wade calling the governu7ent

the term common ass was more suit

BOMB MANUFACTURER
VICTIM OF EXPLOSION
Gotham Employe, Probably Fatally
Injured, Confesses to Making
Deadly Missile.

New York, March 24.-Blown up by
bis bomb, Henry Klotz, a draughtsman
in the employ of the city, lies in the
Fordham hospital so terribly wounded
that it is doubtful if he lives to shed
further light upon the accident. Bits of
nails, screws and small steel slugs
from the bomb punctured his face and
body in more than thirty places; one
eye was destroyed and two fingers or
his left hand blown off.
The police continued an inyestiga-
ton of the case. When Klotz was re-
moved to the hospital he declared that
the exploding bomb was one which he
found in a park. When he learned
that he had little chance to live he
told the police that the bomb was one
of his own making.
A visit to his rooms seemed to CON
firm this, for the place was like an ar
senal
There were twelve one-pound cans
of black powder, sixteen shotguns and
rifles, revolvers of all sizes and knives
and swords of all shapes.
The police were struck by the fact
that the house where the accident oc-
Cured and where Klotz lived with his
mother and two sisters on Fulton ave
nue., was-only two blocks from the
apartment house where Mrs. Madeline
Herrera was killed and two persons
were injured by the explosion OF a
bomb very similar to that which Klotz
was making.
j. F. Farrell "a weak-minded janitor
who has been held in the tombs for
some time charged with the Herrera
bomb outrage, which was committed
Feb. 2, confessed to his guilt, but later
repudiated his confession.
