J. B. Pritchard of Griffin was
convicted of robbery by use of
an offensive weapon Tuesday
and sentenced to life.
The jury of 12 men returned a
verdict of guilty with a recom
mendation of mercy. They deli
berated the case about four
hours.
Pritchard was charged with
robbery by use of an offensive
weapon at the home of Mrs. Bill
Morris on Swint road at Orchard
Hill.
The trial was the second for
Pritchard on the charge. He
was convicted earlier this year
in Spalding County Superior Co
urt and sentenced to 20 years in
prison. The Georgia Supreme
Court granted him a new trial.
Numbers System
Continued from page one
tes (odd numbered highways,
e.g. 1-75) the number one will
be assigned the first exit off that
route going north (above the Fl
orida-Georgia line) with an in
crease in numbers till Exit 123
at the Georgia 146-Rossville-Fort
Oglethorpe Interchange near the
Georgia-Tennessee line.
Similarly in the case of West
to East Interstates (even num
bered routes, e.g. 1-20). Number
ing will begin at the Alabama-
Georgia line. (This is the pattern
followed in erecting county mi
leposts last year but with num
bering beginning at each county
line).
Circumferential belt-lines (I
--285) will have, "Ground zero”
at a point on the south-central
perimeter and be numbered clo
ckwise in ascending order. In
Atlanta for example, this point
will be 1-85 with ‘Exit 1’ at
Washington Road — first exit off
1-285 west Os 1-85.
Mr. Land pointed out that,
"Exits from one Interstate to
another will not be numbered.
Further, a motorist entering Ge
orgia on 1-75 at the Tennessee
line will be faced with exit num
bers in descending order.”
The system of exit numbering
was Instituted too late to be in
cluded on the official 1969 Geor
gia Highway maps but should be
included on the 1970 edition.

It was the intention of the trus

for most agencies, whether they
be church or governmental.

were completely open then as
they always are.”
The Constitution story said the
study was made after a 12-year
old girl was raped, became preg

was convicted of the offense.
This is the first known sexual
offense at the 101-year-old insti

The home is supported throu
