60 to 70 each year. The number
appealed last year showed an appre
ciable Increase over those for any
year past.
From the way cases are now com
ing In, It appears that 1011 will
mark (till another Increase. At the
January term for criminal business
the attorney general argued six cap

the docket baa not closed.

preme court do not represent all
the capital or homicidal cases 1 In the
state. Some go to the court of ap
peal* and aome are not appealed.
The record la not an enviable one
for Oeorgla, and should be a mat
ter for grave consideration by the
thoughtful men of the state. Some
Judge have already takeq^ cogni
sance of the growth of homicidal
caves, and are calling their grand
Juries to task regarding investiga
