cents and all are urged to attend,
The Georgia Bulldogs took the first
game from Mercer yesterday after
noon by the score of 2 to 9. The game
was hard fought and developed Into a
pitchers' battle' between Fantone and
Bawln, with the odds In favor of the
Georgia Freshman. •
Fantone twirled an excellent game
for the Red and Black, lie allowed
the Baptists hut three hits and re
tired ten men via the strike out route,
Sawln. a "dark horae," did mound
duty for Mercer and he pitched a
fair game, but the Georgia batsmen
connected with his delivery for seven
safe hi ogles.
Both teams went scoreless for five
Innings. Both twlrlers were at their
best and neither team was able to
threaten. Georgia got men on bases
twice, but they lacked the punch to

Covington. Ga., April 8.—The fate
of John S. Williams, accused of the
murder of eleven negro farm hands
to hide peonago conditions, wpnt to
the jurv iatq today, but the early
hours of the night wore away without
word as to their decision.
Judge Hutcheson ehargod the Jury
on three verdicts—murder, which car
ries the death sentence; murder with
recommendation to mercy, which au
tomatically carries life Imprisonment,
or acquittal. The dozing arguments
that occupied the day were admittedly
powerful efforts by two attorneys
with brilliant legal reputations and
drew a crowd that filled every Inch
of the courtroom. C
Williams, surrounded by *Vx wife
and family, watched attentively te he
heerd himself denounced as the au
thor of one of the “state's moat atro-
dons crimes" and was little affected
by the plea for his acquittal.
Williams remained In the cot
after the case went to the Jury, i
ting with hie family, his face wreathed
In smiles at eoraethlhg they said.
Shortly after U o’clock tonight the
Jury ruavested a bailiff to send for
Judge Hutchetos, but wero told he
could not be called unless a verdict
had been reached. Without reply, the
Jury room door eloaed. It was not
Indicated how long the Jury would de
