GUARD
 MANN ON TRIAL
Charged With Assault With h. tent to Kil-Many Cases
 Continued.

guard on the convict farm, was begun Monday afternoon in cir cult court. The defendant was indicted four times by the last grand jury, thrice for assault and battery and also for assault with intent to kill and it is upon this charge that the defendant was first arraigned.
 c. M. Erwin is representing the prosecution and for the de- fense Phillips, Hillhouse & Boyce and c. L. Grant are counsel. John H. Keel, contractor for the county's convicts, sat with the attorneys for defendant during the trial of the case.
 Many cases have been contin- ued the past week, most of them civil actions, simply because the time of circuit court is largely taken up in the trial of criminal cases, which hold precedence over civil controversies. The need of separate courts for the trial of civil and criminal suits is becoming more evident at each term of court in the num- Der of cases that go over, simply because they cannot be crowded in.

Damn Not Profane,
Rules Broyles, as He
Sets Lobbyist Free

Harold W. Philips, of Washington,
D. c., secretary of the American
Printing Company, and for years a
well-known lobbyist in the National
Capital, eloouently pleaded his own
case before Recorder Broyles Friday
morning and cited Supreme Court de-
cisons to prove that he was not
guilty of using profanity when, be-
coming veXed at the Atlanta Baggage
and Cab Company, he let slip several
'damns."
Judge Broyles agreed with the legal
point made by the visitor and dis
missed the case, ruling that, under
the law, damn" is not profanity.
Mr.. Philips, who is at the Ansley
with his wife, later declared that he
had instructed his attorneys, Smith,
Hammond e. Smith, TO take legal ac-
ton against the baggage company
for false prosecution.

AGREEMENT
EVIDENTLY
DIFFICULT
Decision on Plea of Doomed Man
May Be Delayed Several
Days Yet.

The impression is steadily gaining
ground, particularly among lawyers.
that the Supreme Court likely is di-
vided in it's opinion in the famous
Frank case, and that decision may
not be handed down for several days
vet. Notwithstanding the fact that 1t
has been confidently anticipated ever
since the court went into its regular
February banc on Monday.
The court evidently is not consid-
ering the Frank case, so far as its
handling of the same is concerned, as
anything primarily extraordinary but
he fact that it actually has fallen in
10 status far from ordinary indi-
oates to the legal mind a possibility.
Il not a probability. that the court
is finding it difficult to make up its
mind unanimously as to ruling.
Court Divided, Is Rumor.
Rumor about the streets has it that
the court stands evenly divided as
to affirmation and reversal, but this
regarded as mere rumor, as the
court has exercised great diligence in
seeing that nothing escapes by way OF
hint or suggestion as to what is going
on.
The fact that the Frank case Is
now the only murder case submitted
at the time 1t was filed in appeal that
has not been disposed Of, the add
ional fact that it falls within the
usual rules of fast writs" on all cap
ital appeals, and the still further fact
that no decisions of any character have
come of the present banc. all com
hine TO warrant the assumption that
he court, for some reason or other,
mas not been able to get together on
= ruling.
In the event the Frank decision is
not unanimous, there likely would be
some delay in handing down the
opinion, for the reason that the dis
senting justices would require time
20 shape their protests, and each of
bese protests might be entirely in
dividual and still part of the record.
Unanimous Opinion Desired.
Because of the great gravity of the
Frank case. and its admittedly far
reaching consequence, the impression
among lawyers is that the Supreme
Court would prefer. If possible, to
hand down a unanimous opinion
If that assumption is correct. natu-
rally the court, which is under no
obligation to hurry itself hnduly,
would give itself plenty Of time in
which to thrash out its internal diff
'erences, If there be any.
Undoubtedly, public interest is very
acute as to the findings Of the STU
Dreme Court in this matter, and in
Qury of the newspapers, of the law
yers concerned, and even of the court
officials themselves, Is continuous
and frequent.
The court, theoretically, knows
nothing of this, and cares less, but
The fact remains, nevertheless, that
the public interest is there and that
Il is insistent for information.
Conclusions and assumptions among
lawyers and lay observers are not
based in any way upon utterances
