SUPREME COURT DECIDES
ELECTRIC CHAIR IS LEGAL
Way Opened for Carrying Out
Terms of Eleven Death
Warrants ON Hand


Atlanta, April 20.-Georgia' cleo
trio chair law was held valid and con-
stitutional by the state supreme court
today, paving the way for the execu-
ton of eleven men now under death
sentence for murder.
An enactment of the general as
sanbly of 1924 which substituted the
electric chair for hanging was de-
clared constitutional in a ruling hand
ed down in the cases of Nell M. Gore,
convicted of killing w. H. Cheek,
Atlanta grocer, and John Howell, con-
vjcted in Bib county of Staying a
deputy.
Attorneys for Gore contended that,
whereas the law required execution
at the state prison farm by a warden,
Georgia has neither. The supreme
court held, in effect, that the prison
farm at Milledgeville is state prison
and that the officer in charge is quail
fled to carry out executions.
Judge E. E. Dunaway, superintend
emit of the state prison farm at Mil
ledgeville, holds death warrants for
the following:
Oscar Mars, Ben Hill county; Mar
ska1l Read, Walker county; Nell

Although the plan of realignment
