ATLANTA, June 5.-It was re-
ported here today on reliable author
ity that Judge G. H. Howard, of Co
lumbus, will manage the campaign
of former Senator Thomas w. Hard
wick, in his candidacy for governor.
Judge Howard, who is the presid-
ing judge of the Chattahoochee cir
cult, who was in Atlanta yesterday,
has announced that he will not bee a
candidate for reelection to the judg-
ship. He will, however, it is under
stood, serve out his present term, as
his work in connection with the Hard
wick campaign will not interfere with
his judicial duties.
Mr.. Hardwick returned to Atlanta
yesterday from Ellenton, Colquitt
county, where he delivered his open
ing speech Thursday in the race for
governor. Shortly after his arrival

WOMAN DENIES
AIDING JAILPLOT
Mrs. Grady Content to
Stay in Cell Till Trial
She Says

Comfortably enscOnced in an airy
cell on the first floor of the Sumter
county Jail, Mrs. Thelma Grady, wife
of G. L. Grady, who officials say, is
also known as NJ. E. Gray, waits for
her trial in Sumter Superior Court
this week on charge of having as
sisted her husband in an alleged at
tempted Jail delivery. The young
woman professed to be we'll satisfied
with conditions about her and talked
interestingly of her predicament
when a newspaper man called on her
in her cell yesterday.
Mrs. Grady denies the charge that
she assisted in any effort her hus-
band may have made to escape, and
says that although she did bring
packages to him almost daily, none
of these contained any, of the saws
or the blowpot, said to have been
found near Grady's cell by Sheriff
Harvey after the attempted escape
had been frustrated. Asked why she
did not make ar effort to secure her
liberty on bond, Mrs. Grady said
Gas long as Grady stays here, | guess
l will, too" She then added that it
wasn't long until court would con-
vene and that following her arrest
she had decided it would be better
for her to remain in Jail until then.
She is a comely young woman, ap-
parently about % or 23 years old,
and the clothes she wears seem to
bear out her statement that she be-
longs to the working class. Her maid
en- name was Thelma Speed, Mrs.
Grady says. She said that prior to

the reporter agreed with her. "They

there isn't anything they can prove.
except that / came here to visit my
husband while he was in Jail, and
that, l think, was my duty. l will
stay here as long as Grady does. They
say Sheriff Harvey is crazy for me to
give bond and leave, but l won't do
