An appeal to the Georgia Prison
commission and Governor Dorsey fo,
pardon is DR.. c. K. Chapman's last
hope for freedom, his appeal to the
Georgia Supreme cougt having been
denied in an opinion handed down
yesterday, and he declared Saturday
in his cell at the Sumter county Jail
that he would probably take action
some time in the future, though,
somewhat dazed at the adverse de-
cis;on, he was uncertain what his
next steps would be in his fight for
freedom and vindication.
That Dr. Chapman's family has not
stopped fighting for him was stated
Saturday by John Ed Chapman,
brother Of the prisoner, who declar-
ed that steps would be taken at once
{ to utilize every legal possibility in
Sthe case.
= The SdpTeme court at the same
time decided the case of Warren l,
Johnson. convicted jointly with DR..
Chapman of the murder on Aug. II,
1916, of Walter H. Wade, refusing a
new trial to each of them.
The news was conveyed this morn
ing to Dr.. Chapman and Johnson by
Dr Chapman's sister, Miss Emma
Chapman, who has often been a Wis.,
it0r to the Jail during their confine-
ment. Not long afterward Mrs. Chap
man and their youngest son, MACK"
8 years old, came to the Jail and
spent several hours with Chapman.
To a reporter who visited him at
the Jail, DR. Chapman again vowed
his complete Innocence and ignor-
ance of The crime, and professed his
continued faith in his eventual COM
plete vindication.
Still Hoping.
"If it is Gods will that / be per
secuted, SO let it be-" he said. But
l have never given up hope. There
is such thing as right and justice,
and | feel that right and justice will
prevail If I had killed Wade, 1
should be hanged-nOt given prison
sentence. Ali / ask is justice, and
know the truth will come out some
day."
Mrs. Chapman sat in tears at his
siGe, and his small son sat on his
lap, being fondly embraced by the
prisoner.
al that remains to be done now
in the case is the carrying out of the
sentence of the court by taking Chap
nan and Johnson to the state farm at
Milledgeville to begin serving their
terms.
This formality will be delayed some
days on account of necessary legal
nr5t edufe. The Supreme court pa
pers will not be transmitted in the
case until the expiration of ten days
during which time motions for re
hearing by counsel for the defense
MAJ be filed At the end of 10 days
the record will be sent here to Clerk
Allen of the Superior court, who, in
turn. will complete his records and
notify the state prison commission,
which will send for the men when
ready OF receive them.
Story of The Case.
The Supreme court order in the
two cases read:

THROWS HIS HAND
 AGAINST BUZZ SAW

In an effort to save himself from falling, Frank H. Kenyon of Waterford threw his left hand against the rapid ly revolving blade of buzz saw on Thursday morning, and his hand was nearly severed.
 MT. Kenyon was engaged in saving wood with a power saw at his place in the Lakes Pond section, before start ing on his daily delivery of milk in New London. He stepped on a round stick that rolled under his foot, pitch ing him headforemost. MT. Kenyon tried his best to save himself, but had the misfortune to have his hand come in contact with the teeth of the saw, and the hand was cut across the palm to the bone.
 Members of MT. Kenyon's family did their best to stop the flow of blood and as quickly as possible he was taken to the hospital in New London, where the wound was dressed. The surgeons said that the hand could be saved, but it is probable that the little finger will be. stiff as a result of the injury.
 MF. Kenyon has been having more than his share of bad luck of late as it is only 8 few months ago that the ta- ble of the same saw flew up while he was operating it and, striking him in the face, fractured his nose.

BULLETS AT sToRRs
 KEEP UP EGG YIELD

The low temperatures prevailing during the past week have no imme- diately apparent urfayorabIe effect on bullet egg production if the egg yield of the birds III -ne iayins contest at Storrs may be taken as a criterion. During this seven day period. the 1000 birds have laid total of 121S eggs which is at the rate of IA Der cent. If we compare the heavy breeds with the l.eghorns with respect to their rate cf ourput, we find that the L.egnorns were
 laying at the rate of 21.5 per cent. for the week while the corresponding per cent production for the heavy breeds
 forge ahead and then to maintain the upper hand until about the first of April,
 A pen of White Leghorns belonging to D. Tancred of Kent, Washington, hieh won first honors for the third week was a gain in the lead with a production of A eggs. Two pens of Leghorns belonging to Hilltop Poultry Yards, Suff1eld, Conn.,. and l., E. h. goidsby, Gooperstown, N. T., tied for second place with a yield of fl eggs; and pen of White Wyandottes be- longing to Obed G. Knight of BriG<e- ton, R. l., tied for third place wAh a i pen of Leghorns owned by Edward T. Tonissen, Jeffersonville. N. Y., by lay 1 ing S4 eggs. Only two other pens were
 able to reach a production of 30 eggs
 for the week These were Leghorns
 owned by The Vim. L. Gilbert Home, Winsted Conn, and s. c. Mclean, South Glastonbury, Conn.
 l With the approach of cold weathe.' lit is natural that the poultryman should begin to think of the cloth cur tains in the front of his henhouse and
 to wonder how soon he should begin closing them at night Just g word of caution in this connection may not
 be out of place. It Is entirely possible Ito everreach the mark in this matter of efath curtain protection and by l closing in the birds too closely now to make them so tender that they will be unable to stand up under the strain of severe weather which may be ex- peeted to follow in due sea asen. The cloth curtains in the contest houses have not yet been lowered and it is entirely probable that they will remain t6pen for another two weeks unless an early snow storm irtervenes.
