, TRUE BILLS FOUND
Against Mr. Jack King Id the United States
Court.
The grand jury of the United States
court Tuesday found three true bills
charging embezzlement against Jack
King, of Rome. The indictments al
lege that Mr. King wilfully misappro
priated the funds of the Merchants’
bank to the extent of nearly $50,000,
with a purpose to injure and defraud.
The indictments are of a similar char
acter to the bills found more than a
month ago, the difference being that
they make charges in greater detai*
and cite frequently to entries in the
books of the bank to sustain their al
legations. The bills found against
him yesterday are in the nature of
supplemental charges, and were not
altogether unexpected.
The bills just found make specific
charges against King of misappropriat
ing the bank’s funds, and among the
charges are: That King purchased six
bonds of the Rome Electric Light com
pany for $5,600, being an officer of the
company at the time, and paid to him
self that amount. He April 24th,
to himself, $2,000 of the bank’s funds, for
a tract of land that was not worth the
amount. It is alleged that he spent $6,500
of the bank’s funds lor the purchase of
the Armstrong hotel stock, knowing it was
incumbered at the time. He spent $2,600
belonging to the bank for property be
longing to Mrs. S B. King.
The second indictment charges that
King used SI,BOO of the bank’s funds to
purchase a promissory note for himself,
and another note for $2,232, He is charged
in April, 1892, with buying for himself
real estate that he valued at $1,850, and
/April, 1895, with purchasing Weber
property valued at $1,007. The same
month he is charged with making an ad
ditional purctia.se of some of the same
property for $1,500.
Jle is charged with buying in 1892,120
shares of Rome Electric Railway stock
for $12,000. There are other charges of
less amounts.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12, lo9*.
THAT MASS MEETING
To Be Held Saturday at the Floyd
County Court House
THE JUDICAL CAMPAIGN PROGRESSES
Knee of Severe Dlgui-y and Decorum—The
tocveutlon to Meet Hire on
November 18ih.
Saturday the big mass meeting will be
held at Floyd county court house.
It is hoped that every district in the
county will be well represented.
The purpose of the meeting is to select
delegates to the state convention which
will nominate candidates for the justices
of the supreme court.
This is an iinpoitant duty and every
democrat should turn out.
At the last session of the state execu
tive committee a resolution was passed
calling a state convention in Atlanta No
vember 18th. This convention will nomi
nate judges for the supreme bench who
have announced their candidacy follow -
ing the passage of the amendment to the
constitution in the recent state election.
The resolution passed by the state execu
tive committee provided that delegates to
the state convention could either be
selected by primary or mass meeting.
Floyd county is entitled to six dele
gates, and this is the member which will
be elected by the mass meeting. Whether
they will be instructed or net will rest
with the decision of the masss meeting.
Great interest is centering upon the
state convention, which will be called in
Atlanta November 18th. Just now the
senatorial question is occupying the at
tention of the politicians, and the inter
est in this has practically obscured the
race for the supreme bench at present.
The campaign for the supreme judgeship
has been one of the most unique ever wit
nessed in the politicial annals of the state.
The political tactics employed differ
widely from regular politicial methods.
During the last few weeks all of the can
didates have been in Atlanta to mingle
with the general crowd of political lead
ers gathered here. The judical campaign
has the appearance of being conducted
on high ground. There has been no un.
seemly scramble for votes. What work
done has been silently accomplished. It
has been a campaign of ink and not of
oratory nor wire working. The dignity
of the supreme court judge has been in
jected into the race. The ballot# \vi 11 be
delived with decorum and pomp. The
mass meetings will be severely polite and
rigidly exact. The whole campaign
flavors of superior dignity.
Saturday delegates will be elected.
from every county in the state, and the
convention will be called here on Novem
ber 18th.
