TO INVESTIGATE
ALL SLURS ON GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ga, July Ex-Governor
Walker intends to investigate the
charges by William Mccarthy, a
fugitive from justice now held in
New York, that he was severely
whipped in a Georgia convict camp
and that he prefers death to con-
Wet life in Georgia.
81 notice in the paper that the
prisoner charges he was abused in
a Georgia convict camp" states the
governor, "and | intend to go to the
bottom of his charges. If he has
stated the facts, l am going after
the men who abused him. If he has
stated an untruth, | am going to
see that the slur on Georgia is cor
rected.
THE statement Of Mccarthy,
like every other one of that sort
rejecting on Georgia that comes to
my attention will be investigated
and answered. l am tired of hear
ing our state DETAINED, and | am
going to make it part of my bust
ness to investigate such criticisms"

Cameras for making the photo

may be used also in copying sigma

used in making the negative.

across the porch at her home and,
STOPPING to pick it up in the

the realization that she had a six

The snake wiggled loose and
tried to climb the walls OF the
building, but help was at hand in
the shape of a large shepherd
dog, which grasped the snake in
his mouth and with couple Of
shakes broke its back, and the
snake was soon dispatched.

GOAL MEN WILL
FACE COURT IN
OCTOBER
Dealers Attack Conspiracy In
dictments, Claiming Grand
Jury Member Biased.

Ten local coal dealers, indicted
more than two years ago on
charges of conspiracy in restraint
of trade and of violating the anti
trust law, will be brought to trial
at the October term of the District
Supreme Court, according to Dis
trict Attorney Gordon, who stated
in this connection yesterday, that
jammed dockets and thS Morse trial
and legal developments in connec-
ton with the cases had so far pre-
vented them from being brought in
court.
Another reason advanced by the
District Attorney for the seeming
delay is the fact that the dealers
had withdrawn their original plea
of not guilty and filed a plea Of
abatement.
This plea, according to the pros
ecutor, alleged that a member of
the grand jury which indicted the
accused was a Federal employee
The charge against the coal men
was brought by the Federal Gov
eminent, and the dealers commended
that the Federal employee on the
jury was necessarily biased and
that, therefore, they had been i'm
properly indicted.
A dismissal of the case on this
ground is asked by those indicted
who include: w. w. Griffith, Nor
ris E. NARROW, Samuel L. Frazier
L. Evans White, Otto G.. Raymond
manager J. p. Agnew Co., J. Ed
