SIMS GETS YEAR
Or A FINE AS
EMbEZZLER
Former East Point City Clerk Is
Given Light Sentence-Rea-
tives Expected to Save Him.

J. r. Sims. former City Clerk Of
East Point, was sentenced to twelve
months in the chaingang, with an all
Tentative of 5000 fine, by Judge
Hill, of the Superior Court Thursday
morning. after a consent verdict of
guilty, with a recommendation for
mercy, had been entered 10 the charge
of embezzling $1,102 from the city
funds
1t Is understood that relatives will
come to his aid and pay the fine, pre-
venting Sims from going to prison.
Judge Hill passed sentence upon
Sims after John w. Humphreys city
attorney OF East Point. appeared in
court TO request leniency for Sims.
Mr.. Humphreys declared the former
City Clerk had made full settlement
with the town, and that East Point
was not a financial loser through the
embe7Zlements
The attorney also said that at the
time OF the shortage there were ex-
tenuating circumstances. inasmuch as
his wife was ILL., and ne had other
things TO worry him Mr. Humphreys
also declared that previous to the dis

The new court had been expecting

peace whose jobs were abolished oy

In the form of petition by one d.
II. McWilliams, a citizen Of Fulton
County, standing on his constitutional
rights. and filing with Judge Ellis,
through Gober e. Jackson as his at
torneys, a bulky petition to restrain
the Fulton County Commissioners and
Treasurer from paying the salaries or
expenses of the new court out of the
county's money.
Judge Ellis considered the petition
Thursday morning and set the hear
ing for January 10.
Gober Discusses Case.
Discussing the petition, Judge Geo.
F. Gober stated that he had rarely
handled case embodying more con-
stitutional law.
THE fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States is a
salient feature OF this petition" he
said, land that is merely a small part
Of the State and national constitu-
tional law that appears to bear on the
case.
1.-THE core Of the petition is that
McWilliams, a citizen of Fulton Coun-
ty, objects to paying taxes for the
support of a municipal court, whose
Jurisdiction embraces less than one
fourth of the area of the county. 1t
is a taxpayers petition, pure and
simple. but it affects every taxpayer
in Fulton County For that reason,
the case is Of considerable impor-
lance. The maintenance of this court
will take from $4,000 to $4,000 Of
the county's money every year, and
that is no small item"
Judge Gober said that the Georgia
Legislature of 1912 had provided the
change in the style of court from the
justice Of the peace plan to a munich
pal court In Atlanta.
No Provision for Maintenance.
But no method of paying its ex
penses was provided" he added. The
Justices, OF course, were paid by their
fees. The Constitution provides one
justice of the peace to each militia
district, and while 1t might be con-
stitutional to amend that provision to
form city court like this new af-
fair, 1t certainly is unconstitutional
to compel county taxpayers to main
tain It,"
That was where the famous four
teenth amendment came in. The part
bearing on the petition reads:
NO State shall make or enforce
any law which shall bridge the privi-
leges or immunities of citizens of the
United States, nor shall any State
deprive any person Of life, liberty or
property without due process of law,
nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of
the laws"
Referring to the phrase equal pro-
lection of the laws" Judge Gober SAID
the Supreme Court has held that
taxes without due benefits are in
cluded in the meaning.
The case Is expected to prove eX-
tremely interesting. even apart from
its close bearing on the situation and
standing of the ousted justices of the
peace.
