ATLANTA, March ii. B.
sqtterfield, condemned Fulton coun-
ty slayer, lost another more in his
fight to escape the gallows, when
the state supreme court Tuesday
affirmed his conviction in Fulton
superior court.
Judge John D. HUMPHREYS will set
new date for Satterfield's execu-
tion as soon as he receives a certi-
fled copy of the high courts rul-
ing.
The appeal to the supreme court
was based on two principal grounds.
Answering the first, that the
judges charge to the jury had not
included the law as to voluntary
manslaughter, the court held thai
this law was not involved. In che
second point the supreme court
held that the judges comment rel
ative to Satterfield's sanity was not
such as to affect this consideration
in the minds of the jurors. Oth-
er minors contentious Of error
were ruled without merit.
Satterfield was tried for the muir
der of his brother-in-law, R. H.
