 Mel Gore, convicted as an accom- 'plicc, is under sentence to die in the electric chair tomorrow. Theodore Berry is now under sentence of life Imprisonment and police have con- ducted an unsuccessful search for Wilson, who they believe was the actual slayer.
 I'm the Jack Wilson in the case, ' she said, adding that she decided to fix the blame on Wilson because he was fugitive from justice. Solicitor General John A, Boykin in Atlanta declared he regarded the confession of the girl as an attempt to save Gore from the chair.
 There is no doubt in my mind" he said that Jack Wilson fired the shot that killed Cheek. His identity has been established conclusively."

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Registered and Coupon Bonds
BN GEORGE T. HUGHES.

In the preceding article we dis
cussed the different denominations in
which bonds come. There is another
important distinction. between the
registered and the coupon bond.
registered bond is one of which the
company has a record of the owner.
The latter's name appears on the face
ofof the bond and it can be trans
ferred only by having the change
made on the hooks of the company.
The advantage Of a registered bond
Is that IL lost II can upon proper
proof be replaced by new bond. The
disadvantage is that II takes longer
time to complete q sale than 1t does
with coupon bond. For this rea-
son coupon bonds generally sell
slightly higher than registered bonds.
Interest is paid to the holders Of
registered bonds by check: owners OF
coupon bonds are obliged to cut the
coupons and deposit them in the bank
for collection. The registered bond
has a further advantage In that II 1t
is called for redemption the company
can notify the holder directly by mail.
whereas the only means OF communi-
cation with owners of coupon bonds Is
by means Of advertisements in the
newspapers. This is sometimes i'm.

ments. II he holds coupon bond
and does not happen to notice that
his bond has been called he may lose
certain amount of interest.
All traders and most investors who
do much shifting about of their hold
incs prefer the coupon bonds. II
must be remembered that ownership
Of a coupon bond passes by delivery.
and it is necessary that a safe place
he provided for its keeping. Every
one ought To have a safe deposit box
at the bank TO keep securities and
other valuable papers. and here is
where coupon bonds should be placed.
Not all bonds are available in register
ed. but practically all come in coupon
form.
Sometimes a bond is registerable as
to principal in which case II cannot
be transferred except on the books
Of the company. hut is not register
able as to interest. in which case the
coupons must be cut and deposited for
collection. Generally. but not always,
registered and coupon bonds are in
terchangeable, although there Is
small fee charged for the service.
This is, of course. an advantage. as
an investor may at one time prefer
one form and afterward want the
other. t

mittee which the mayors will appoint.
The employers further stated that
they were ready to take up complaints
with their employees individually, if
they return to work, but that they will
not recognize the union.
To Crush Workers Strike.
Now Secretary of Labor Davis pro-
poses the very same thing--that the
workers return to work uncondition-
ally and that the demands be arbitra-
ted by committee composed of one
from the employers, one from the
workers, and one appointed by Secre-
tary of Labor Davis, and Furthermore,
that the employees of each mill and
each department be dealt with sepa-
rately. This means further division
Of the workers and refusal even to
recognize the right of the workers to
organize.
The plan means that the workers
shall go back to work without a union,
and that committee of two to one
worker may then discuss for months
the simple demands of the strikers,
at the end Of which the workers will
get nothing, as they will have no
union and no power to do anything in
the situation. Dozens of similar cases
and experiences have already occur
red in which the workers went back
to the mills and then got nothing from
the bosses Only the other day In
Pittsfleld, Massachusetts,, the textile
workers who submitted to a similar
plan to that Of Secretary Davis, after
months Of arbitration secured dee-
sion that the wage cut was Justified.
Meanwhile the mill turned out the
orders, and now the workers have no
union and no power to fight against
this decision.

That the horrible mistreatment of

The warden, Charles r. Davis, ac-
cording to evidence in the inquiry
now being conducted by Attorney
General Harwell G. Davis, held the
unfortunate mans head under water
alternately in watts of ice-cold and
boiling hot water and then beat him
with a blackjack until he was almost
dead. This terrible torture was car
ried on personally by the warden, who
administered all the blows. The dip

Knox died shortly after the beating.
To conceal his crime the warden had
