PuMERANTz BROTHERS
 PUT ON PROBATION
Judge Reed Suspends Sentence in the
 Criminal Court Friday.


 The three perjury cases against Ma than Pumerantz and his brother Ben jamfn Pumerantz and William Lub- chansky, arising out of alleged false testimony given during the trial of Nathan Pumerantz for arson were dis posed of in the criminal superior court in Norwich Friday morning. Nathan and Benjamin Pumerantz were both placed on probation on suspension of sentences of six. months in jail and the case against William Lubchansky was nolled.
 Judge Reed reopened the May term of the criminal super1or court which was adjourned from New London sev- eral days ago in Norwich at 10 o'clock Friday morning, The case against Ma than Pumerantz, who was acquitted fin Norwich a year ago on the charge of arson in setting fire to his clothing store in Bank street Tn 1915, charged with perjury, was first called. Pumer- antz pleaded guilty to the charge against him and he was sentenced to six months in jail and then placed on probation by Judge Reed.
 The sentence of six months in jail which was imposed on Benjamin Pu- when he was found guilty of perjury by a jury was suspended and he was also placed in the custody of Pro- bation Officer Mansfield
 A nolle wa sthen entered in the case against William Lubehansky of New London who was charged with the same offense.
 The Pumerantz arson and perjury trials have attracted considerable at tention for the past twoyears and a half
 On Saturday night December 1s 1913. fire destroyed the clothing store of Nathan Pumerantz in the Shea hI1if6fT1O which n1Sn considerable extent. After an in- vestigation by the state police who suspected the origin of the fire Nathan Pumerantz was arrested and bound over to the criminal superior court
 Last May he was placed on trial in the criminal superior court in Nor wich and after a trial or more than a week he was acquitted. Immedi- ately, his brother, Benjamin, and William Lubchansky were arrested on the charge of perjury. State Attorney Hull's information against them al- legged that the testimony of Benjamin Punerantz and Lubchansky given in defense of Nathan Pumerantz at that trial, was the cause of the acquittal.
 Benjamin Pumerantz was tried ir the superior court in New London about two weeks ago and a jury found him guilty of the charge of perjury. He l was sentenced to six months in jai 1 by Judge Reed and on a stay of exe- cution in order to take an appeal tc the supreme court of errors, Pumer- aTtz was released on bail of s1,50e.
 It is understood Judge Reed dis. posed of the cases against the Pun. erantz brothers by suspension of sen. I tence and probation in view of tht | fact that their punishment has beer so very seve already. Both have l lost everything they had in the waJ { of money, business. etc, and by pleading guilty othe charge of per l jury Nathan Pumerantz has lost al chances of securing the insurance 1 money in his suits against the insur. ance companies.
 Under these circumstances Judge Reed Fecided to give them jail sen. tences and place them on probation which action was not opposed by State Attorney Hull.

AFRAID TO MOVE.

The Georgia legislature took Pc
culiar view of the complaints RAISED
concern ing the conditions, equipment
and readiness of the Georgia National
Guards at Camp Harris. Representa-
tive Yeomans. of Terrell, hesitated to
eriticise a Democratic administration.
If we are in the house of on: faith
ers" then certainly the chli1ron should
receive the parental protection usually
assured. If our friends and co-fght-
ers will not grant us consideration
and respect, can we expect more fror1
our enemies?
1t may prove material political
thunder to show the unpreparedness
of the country, but sober thinking
citizen cannot justly accuse the DEM
ocratic party Of this condition.
Slightly over three years has been the
time of the Democrats in power, while
the Republicans have reigned with
slight interruptions since the civil
war.
And political prudence matters not
If lives are at stake. This brotherIy
love of Democracy who becomes 50
evident in this instance is vague. A
righteous cause is right and just
though it be a peasant protesting to
the throne. And Georgia, along with
every southern state which composes
the solid south have danced while the
national fiddlers played. We have
paid our part, and born it unfinch-
ingly. We have rights, and certainly
the general assembly of Georgia mus,
protect those rights.
Conditions are reported to be much
better at Camp Harris, which is GER
tainly encouraging. 1t was to be hop
ed. But the Georgia legislature is an
obedient child to an ungrateful par
ent.
