STATES CASE WAS WEAK
Possibility of Suit for False Ar
rest Against Mrs. Crandall

According to reliable information
reaching here today. Judge Henry A.
Mathews of the Macon Judicial Cir
cult this morning issued an order for
the discharge of the four people who
were held in Jail or under CUSTODY on
charge of numbering Fred Shepard.
wealthy peach grower of Fort Valley.
The. accused were Mrs. E1dridge Cuts
of Fitzgerald, Mrs. F. E. Elmer of
Jacksonville, Mrs. lone Henry of
Perry and Earnest Hopson of Able
vile.
Preliminary hearing on the case
has been in progress before Judge
Mathews since last Tuesday, most of
the time being taken up in taking
testimony from witnesses for the
state. Six hours of argument was
heard yesterday from ttorneys on
both sides of the case.
Little surprise was said to have
been expressed in Macon or Able
vile at Judge Mthew's action in free
ing the four defendants The states
case against them was considered
weak by attorneys and court officials
in close touch with the case.
Possibility is considered that at
least one of the accused persons will
bring suit against Mrs. Crandall, pros
ecutrix in the case, for causing false
arrest of the defendants. Inference is
that such action might be taken was
made by Judge John P Ross, one of
Mrs. Elmer's attorneys, during cross
