At the request of Attorney Justin
M. Smith, who had been appointed
by the court to defend Seth Orrin
banner in the recent double murder
trial, in which Banner was found
guilty of murder by a jury who
asked that the death penalty be i'm
posed, Judge Ben B. Law, sitting in
district court this morning, decided
to postpone the day of the setting of
the sentence until Saturday morning,
Nov. II, at 10 o'clock. The original
date for the setting of the date of the
execution was this morning. The
law provides that the date of the ex-
ecution shall be set not less than
80 days, or more than go days, from
the date on which actual sentence is
pronounced by the trial Judge. This
lapse of time then gives the condemn
ed man a chance TO prepare an ap.
peal for a ~re-triaI to the supreme
court.

ample of them, but for the sole pur
pose of protecting the general public
against any further depredations and
thefts which they would no doubt COM
nit against merchants and others with
whom they would come in contact,
were they at large.
The specific charge against Spoon
more was that he had passed worth
less checks on three merchants and
individuals in Three Forks. Taylor
tried to assume the blame for Spoon
mOre's SStions and said that he had
written the checks. This was denied
by the complaining witnesses, whC
testified that Spoonmore, in each case
had written the checks in their pres.
ence and always for an amount some
what in excess of the value of the
goods he purchased. A young lady
from Three Forks testified that Spoon
more was with her at the time of tn,

testimony or the other alibis carried
any weight with the jury.

The payments were regularly made
through Burnstad by Eugene Thorn

he still owes them $4,000 which he
had, without authority, diverted to
his own use.

 London, Oct. 16.-In deference to English sentiment, pr. Thornwell Jacobs has decided to withdraw the request of Oglethorpe university that rhe body of General James E, osle- thorpe founder of Georgia, be trans ferred to the proposed shrine on the campus of the University of Atlanta.
 pr. Jacobs. in announcing his de- cision, asked that this statement be transmitted to America:
 "T'he purpose of our request was two-fold:
 "First-That the grave of our founder, the exact location of which had actually been forgotten in Eng land might be made center of in- struction for our youth in the great principles upon which General Ogle- thorpe founded our community, thus serving as d holy sanctuary of. Gcor- glan patriotism;
 The second purpos" was our de- sire to make him and his sacred mem ory an eternal tie Of sood will between England and America
 Tt is this last purpose that seems at present impossible of realization. As to the first. it is already partly ac- complished. We know where Ogle- thorpe is buried definitely, and by the gracious courtesies of the English people, Oglethorpe university will en-

 Also, if the little church %t Cran- ham will permit us to do so. We shall endeavor in the future to show it and it's rector what the love of millions of Georgians means for their kindly sen timent and unanimous approval They will never be forgotten in Georgia.
 T take this opportunity of thank ing the English friends of our plan, including many members Of the OSle- thorpe family, and of assuring them that an enterprise endorsed for the Georgians' capital city by it's mayor. for the state by it's governor. and transmitted through the state depart ment in Washington, could have had only one actuating motive - that of deepest love and affection for the for gotten founder of Georgia to whom, after lapse of two centuries, Eng. land has raised no monumcnt.'
