FL0GG|NG CHARGES AGAINST 10 FAIL
Ga. Juries Accept Alibis Present. ed by Accused Men

Toccoa, Ga. July 16 F-Alibis played a major part here yesterday when a Stephens county superior court voted after 12 minutes de- liberation to free five men of this section on trial charged with mur- derous assault on Bert Singleton, a farmer, early in March. The charge grew out Of his having been se- yerely flogged by a band of robed and masked men.
 More than a score witnesses tes- tihed that the defendants could not have been present when Signleton was whipped by the masked men, who, he said. had accused him Of "bootlesging and being a loafer."
 Another jury in a second fogging case to be tried this term. was un- able to agree on a verdict and a mistrial was declared in the case of Elmer Clark. tried on d similar charge in connection with the fog ging of Mrs. Ansley Bower on June 12.
 The men acquitted were w. G Acree, former principal of the Stephens County High school; Bert Lowry and Nose Johnson, factory hands: Hendrix Wiley. farmer, and J. S. Aderhold, a rural mail carrier.
 Acree. who was tried on the same charge as Clark and found guilty of assault and battery, was to be sentenced today.
 This term of superior court ends today and the possibility was that further trial Of those indicted in five fogging cases in this vicinity in recent months would be post poned until the October term of court.

TRIASSIC FLAPPERS
 HAD CANOE PARTIES
Large River Once Flowed
 Through New Britain

Although the absence Of rivers in New Britain Is bemoaned by manu- lecturers who long for cheap trans portation and inexpensive water power, there once was time when river Of considerable size flowed through the land on which this city was later to be built This stream which must remain nameless, flow ed through Cooks gap. better known as White Oak, and is responsible for the remarkable pass along which he auto, steam and electric roads pass between the towering traprock cliffs to the north and south.
 The presence of this break Tn the cliffs led to the first suspicion of the ancient river, as no other cause for miniature canyon could be found. There is no fault In the rocks at the point and the only explanation was that a river once cut its way through as the Colorado river has done on tremendously larger scale in the Grand Canyon.
 The erosion caused by the two rivers was substantially the same. Back in what is called the Triassic period of geologic time. millions of years ago, this dead" river flowed through the gap from west to east. Its upper course is unknown, but it may have come down from lhe Massachusetts line or perhaps across from western Connecticut. Its lower channel is likewise a mystery, hav- ing been wiped out by the glacier, hut 1t probably found its way event. i ually into the predecessor Of the Connecticut river.
 During the Triassic epoch the land in New England broke into great chunks or blocks, which were tilted SO that the western edges were higher than the eastern. As this tilting was part Of a continued uplift of the whole region, the river offset the IT ovement by cutting through the rising land and main taining its original channel. This movement, very slow, left the pres cnt bluffs.
 Much later in almost recent times l as geology goes, the river shifted its course. The sandstone stretches from north to south were much easier of erosion than the traprock i ranges which alternated with them and formed hard ground for an east lowest river to cross, and the river took a new southward course through the softer rock. No trace of it remains today. for White Oa,. . pond and the brook which flows out of it are the results of glacial ero- sion rather than the remnants of the old stream. The glacier pushed through Cooks gap in the reverse direction to that taken by the river and left the present topograrhy in
 it's wake.
