THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
ATLANTA, Nov. 5—(AP)—
Journal cclumnist Morgan Blake
may turn out to be one of the
most potent write-in candidates
in Georgia’s history.
And he was only kidding.
On the basis of official returns
from Fulton county, Blake re
ceived 2,365 write-in votes for
governor, two for president, four
for U. S. senator, 17 for lieu
tenant-governor, one for senator
from the Fifty-Second District,
and one for associate justice ot
the Supreme Court.
Like Dewey, Blake has conced
ed, Fut he is nonetheless cheered
by reperts of a large write-in
vote throughout the state. He
says bloe voting defeated him.
~ Although the state returns have
not been tabulated—Secretary of
State Ben Fortson says it will be
10 days yet—Blake already han
‘far out-distanced the 1946 write
in vote for Herman Talmadge.
The Legislature elected Herman
governor on Lhe basis of 475
write-in votes.
The DeKalb New Era reported
Friday that the Journal writer
received 1,099 votes for governor
in DeKalb county. Sports Editor
Ed Danforth received one write
in vete for governor.
The Cobb County Times re
ported Blake got 442 write-in
votes in that county.

CALLED COP FOR WITNESS
Father Shoots Rag Picker; |
Through He Assaulted Child |
SHARPSBURG, Pa., Nov. 6.—
(AP)—An enraged father who be
lieved his small daughter had
been assaulted, burst into the jail
here today and fatally shot a 75-
year-old, one-legged rag picker
after summoning a police ser
geant as witness. i
The victim, William Moore, was
shot twice in the heart. Police
Sergeant Robert Antelli said
Nicholas Antico, 37, Sharpsburg
bartender, fired the shots from a
.30-20 revolver before Antelli
could prevent the tragedy.
~ Antelli said Moore had been
jailed on a charge of molesting
Antico’s five-year-old daughter.
County Detective George Wiedle
said Antico would be charged with
- murder.
Antelli gave this version:
Early today Antico walked into
the police station and asked the
location of Moore’s cell. Antico
walked to the adjacent cell block
and was quoted by Antelli as say
ing to Moaore:
: “Are you the man who assault
led my little girl?”
“I didn’t assault her. I only
kissed her,” Antelli said Moore
replied.
Antelli said Antico then called
to him:
“Come back here, Bob, I want
you to be a witness to this.”
Antelli said he ran back toward
the cells but before he got there,
two shots rang out. Moore was‘
on the cell floor. (
Antelli readily gave up the gun!
then produced and turned over'
another pistol.
Moore was pronounced dead on
arrival at St. Francis Hospital. i
Antico was removed to the
county jail on a district attorney’s
detainer. |
Antico, estranged from his wife, |
has another daughter, 10. Both!
girls lived with their mother. |
