The Bar Association some time
ago selected the attorneys to de
‘fend John Henry Thomas, negro

lpointmem was made by Judgel
| Fortson, as required under the
istate law. The new plan, where

:cmploy their own attorneys was
| inaugurated with the selection of
| lawyers for Thomas last summer.

i Judge Blanton Fortson this
morning began hearing a petition
|of some of the heirs to the estate‘
inf the late Judge Hamilton Mec

coive close to £1,000,000 in benefit
