ONLY TWO BOUND OVER -TOR RIOTING Recorder Broyles’ oCurt Un usually Light Tues day Morning. Recorder Broyles' police court was unusually small Tuesday morning. Only two cases Of rioting were called, which concludes nearly all of the cases of thin character made Saturday night. O. B. Cook, a soldier from Fort Me* Pherson, was among the crowd on Sat urday night, and carrying an army gun. The recorder bound him over under 11,000 bond for rioting, but omitted the SO-day sentence. C. E. Holbrook, a neat appearing young man, was In the'midst of the Saturday night crowd, and alleged that he was assisting the officers, but Po liceman Doyal testified that he saw Holbrook pull down a trolley from a car at the corner of Marietta and Peachtree streets. This stopped the car and a rush was made for some ne gro passengers, but the trolley was replaced and the car moved on before any damage wps done. The recorder gave him the usual fine of 30 days and $1,000 bond for rioting. When Holbrook’s attorney asked to certiorari the case the Judge replied: "No, sir: no cases of this kind will be allowed to be certlorarled, if I can help it." Cicero Finch, a negro 68 years old, who was engaged to do some painting at a residence, had an argument with the lady* of the house and made a warm defense of the negroes, and said some Insulting things. The recorder fined him $16.76, but took occasion to se verely lecture the white woman, who had stood for several minutes arguing the matter with him.

Stensland slept fairly well In his cell last night. Inspector McLaughlin talked with the prisoner today and the latter declared his troubles at the bank started when Investments he had made did not give feturos as soon as expected, and Cash ier Herlng took advantage of the situ gtlon by helping hlmaelf to the funds. On his way to board a car for the criminal courts building, Btenslarrd and the detective were followed by a crowd of 600 persons. Harry Olsen, who Is to prosecute Stensland In the Cook county court, gave out additional startling Informa tion In the following Interview: "Bunk examiners and others are still $200,000 short. Stensland, who Is n most methodical man, has confessed among other things that there were forgeries that he knows of to the amount of $900,000. He says' he can tell those that Herlng wrote because each of them is marked with a cross X. The other forgeries were committed by other men, some of them minor em- g loyees of the bank, whose Identity will e revealed by Stensland." , / SCUDDER UO IS NOT IN SATURDAY RIOTS NEGRO UNIVERSITIES STAND FOR THE LAW To the Editor of The Georgian: The sudden ending of the lives of the officers of the law last night is deplored by this usually and well* known peace loving community.
