OFFICERS CANNOT
SEIZE PILOT CAR
Not If Auto Carries No Liquor
Two Points Decided In
Appeals Court

ATLANTA, Feb. Am autorao-
bile that has been used for the trans
portation of whisky may be confis-
Gated by officers of the law after
the death of the owner; but an au-
tomobile that is used as "the pilot
car" of a liquor running fleet may
not be confiscated if it can be prov
en- that it has no whisky. These two
points were held under two separate
decisions handed down yesterday by
the Georgia Court of Appeals.
The first decision, regarding the
seizure of an automobile after the
death of the owner, was in the case
of Harwood VS.. the state, which came
up from Dade county Superior court.
In that case Dade county officials
instituted condemnation proceedings
against an automobile on the ground
that it had been used by the owner
in transportation of whisky. Before
the proceedings had been completed
the owner died and a man named
Harwood, executor of the owners
estate, took out a plea in abatement,
claiming the car should not be con-
fiscated on the ground that seizure
is penalty against the owner and not
against the automobile.
Judge Tarver, of Dade County Su-
perior court, overuled the plea and
his decision was upheld by the Court
Of Appeals, which held that the con-
fiscation of an automobile is a pen
atty against the owner, but also is
proceeding in rem or a penalty
against the thing.
J. The second decision was in the case
Of Underwood VS.. the State, coming
up from Forsyth County Superior
court. The pilot car" of rum run
ming fleet had been conficsated on
the ground that it was aiding and
abetting in the violatio of prohi-
bition law, even though it contained
no whisky. Judge Blair of Forsyth
county, upheld the confiscation.
The Court of Appeals in overrul-
ing Judge Blair's decision that a pilot
car can not be lawfully confiscated
if it can be proven to have contain
ed no whisky, even though it be adj
mitted that it was connected with
liquor-running fleet.

BRUNSWICK GIRL
KILLED IN WRECK
Auto In Which She And Others
Were Riding Plunges Into
Water .

BRUNSWICK, Feb. 9.-Miss Ann
Ellis, well known Brunswick girl,
was killed almost instantly and one
or two others were more or less in
iured in an automobile accident yes
terday morning when the crowd of
several were returning to the city
from Dover Hall, where they had
spent the evening with friends.
The accident occurred on the Dixie
Highway near Buffalo Swamp, where
the road is being rebuilt. Those who
occupied the car were Cone Holody,
Jenty Roar, Mrs. o. c. Gilbert, Miss
Marie Way and Miss Ellis. The car
was being driven by Mr.. Holody, and
it seems that in travelling over that
portion of the road through the
swamp which is now being rebuilt he
lost his bearing, the car getting off
Of the road, and when he noticed his
mistake, it was too late, and in en-
deavoring to right the car, the ma
chine plunged off the embankment
into about three feet Of water. Mr..
Holody and Miss Ellis, VINO were oc-
cupying the front seat, were pinned
beneath the machine. Other mem
bers of the party succeeded in extri-
eating themselves and rushed to the
assistance of the two, but it was sew
eral minutes before they could be ex-
tricated. 1t was not until Miss Ellis
had been pulled from the car that it
was discovered she was dead.
