Georgia o High Court
Ruling on Governors
unIikelyBefore I Days
By the A,.oeio,sd Pres.

ATLANTA, Ga, Mar. 7.-Georgia's
Supreme Court concluded a hearing
last night on conflicting claims TO
the governorship Of Georgia, and
accepted rival briefs which Chief
Justice w. F. Jenkins ruefully de-
scribed as longer than Gone With
the Wind"
The historic case was argued be-
fore an overflow crowd In the tiny
Supreme Court chamber Of Geor-
gias Capitol by spokesmen for Her
man Talmadge and his rival, 1t.
Gov. M. e. Thompson. The oral
review covered three separate liti-
cations which were consolidated for
purposes of the appeal, and involved
divergent opinions of the lower
courts.
Two Superior Court judges held
last month that Mr.. Talmadge was
rightful Governor Of Georgia. A
third decided in favor of 1t. Gov.
Thompson.
Just before conclusion Of yester-
days hearing. the court accepted a
supplementary reply brief from 1t.
Gov. Thompson's counsel, and
granted Mr.. Talmadge five days to
answer it. Thus, decision on the
goveraorship Is unlikely in less than
Q week.
One appeal was by 1t. Gov.
Thompson from dismissal Of suit
for declaratory judgment to oust
Mr.. Taln1adge from onice. A second
was by the Fulton National Bank Of
Atlanta, which appealed for final
Judgment on which claimant Is en-
titled to draw on 500, 900 In the ex-
ecutive department bank account.
The appeal was by the State Pardon
and Parole Board from a decision
recognizing 1t. Gov. Thompson and
