CONVICTION
OF SHANNON
REVERSED

BY a decision Of the state criminal
court OF appeals, handed down last
week, the verdict Of the district court
of Grady county in the case Of Z. VI.
Shannon, who was convicted Of en-
bezzlement in January 1913, was re-
versed and the cause was remanded
to the lower court with instructions
to dismiss.
Mr.. Shannon, it will be recalled,
was the secretary and treasurer of
the Southwestern Wholesale Grocery
company which went out of business
and it was alleged that he embezzled
the company's funds. Following his
conviction he was sentenced to one
year and one day in the state prison.
He has been out under bond pending
his appeal. In reviewing the case the
court reached the conclusion that the
object Of the prosecution was the col
lection of a $1,000 note due the com
pany from the defendant and hence
there were no grounds for criminal
action.
A copy of the courts decision has
been receired by F. E. Riddle, one Of
shannon's attorneys.

BY United Press.
Rome, Dec A. The Pope's review
OF his attempt to prevent the war
then to stop it, then to shorten it,
coupled with new and final appeal
for peace, is believed to have been de
livered by The pontiff to a secret con.
sistory here today.
1t is said to be one Of the most i'm
portant documents issued by the vati-
can since the war began. The pope
has been working on II for many
weeks.
The allocution will show it is said,
how the holy see has been absolutely
neutral in the war, predicating all its
actions on a desire to stop or shorten
hostilities and alleviate the sufferings
of those affected.
It is believed the allocution will
make another earnest appeal to the
faithful throughout the world to con
tinue their prayers for peace.
It is said that in conferring with
Cardinals Gasparri, Delai, Falconio,
vannutelli and serafini the pope de-
cided not to refer in the allocution to
Polish autonomy, tFp deportation Of
Belgians nor efforts Of individual neu-
tral nations for peace.
