JUDGE SAYS GEORGIA WILL PAY
DEARLY FOR HER MILITARY RULE
PITTMAN OF BARTOW SAYS
CAPITOL LOOKS LIKE FOR
EIGN LAND; WARNS GRAND
JURY
Cartersville, Ga. —Governor Tal
madge’s martial law proclamation
was criticised here by Judge C. C.
Pittman in his charge to the Bartow
county grand jury.
In part the judge said: “Guns,
bayonets and uniformed usurpers of
authority may invade the sanctuaries
and treasure houses of the people
and take therefrom their money,
chattels and goods and dissipate
them contrary to law, hut the day
of reckoning will surely come when
the ‘war is over’ and civil law and
courts again function in an orderly
way. Some approve such a war, but
as unfortunate bondsmen we shall
see increased taxes to pay for the
follies and foibles of the ‘war of
1033.’
Scenes at Capitol
“A few days ago I walked into
the capitol of my state. On every
hand I saw armed soldiers of the !
commander-in-chief, paid for imag- .
inary services out of the pockets of ,
the people without their consent. I
paused at the statue of that great
statesman, Ben Hill, and read his
immoral words: ‘We are in the
house of our fathers, our brothers
and our companiones, and we are at
home to stay, thank God.’ I paused
at the statue of another Georgia
statesman, Tom Watson, and read
there his immortal words: ‘Dem
ocratic institutions exist by reason
of their virtue. If ever they perish
it will be when you have forgotten,
become indifferent to the present
end utterly reckless as to the future.’
I then walked into the legislative
hall of my state and witnessed a civil
trial. I saw armed soldiers guarding
a man, as he acted the judge and the
jury, while passing upon the rights
of public officials, elected by the
voters of the state. I asked myself
the question: Is this the Georgia of
Ben Hill and Tom Watson and the
Georgia of my fathers, or am I
traveling in a foreign land?
“I offer no defense for the acts of
aEy affected public official, but if
the right of one citizen to have his
case heard and determined by civil
courts—judge and jury—is taken
from him by martial law may not
similar.rights be taken from every

No Department Safe
“If the term ‘rebellion and insur
rection’ is to vary with the whims
of men then no department of state
is safe from martial law, and even
election managers may be supplant
ed by soldiers. One hundred and
fifty-seven years ago, at the begin
ning of the Revolutionary War, th *
American Declaration of Indepen
dence was written by Thomas Jef
ferson, and unanimously adopted by
the 65 representatives of the 13 orig
inal states.
“In part the declaration said: “To
secure life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness governments are in
stituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the
governed. It then charged against
King George ‘ a long train of abuses
and usurpations and among the
charges it declared: ,
"He has kept among us in times
of peace standing armies without the
consent of our legislatures. He has
made judges dependent on his will
alone for tenure of their offices and
the amount and payment of their
salaries. He has affected to render
the military independent of and su
perior to the civil power.’
“A state of ‘insurrection and pub
lic danger’ has been declared by the
chief executive of this state, as to
the highway department of the state,
as to all the highway department
property and convicts and camps,
the state capitol building and build
ings adjacent thereto and for a dis
[ tance of not less than 50 feet from
all state road machinery, trucks and
; equipment. In the proclamation it
is declared: ‘Any question which
may have arisen, or which may arise
thereunder will be adjudicated by
military courts and any matter which
may now be pending in any civil
court in this state, with regard to
the rights, duties or reliability of
any official or employe of the high
way department, as such, will be
transferred to said military court for
adjudication.’
“I charge you gentlemen, that a
state of martial law exists in and
about the state highway convict camp
in Bartow county and any law vio
lations there whether they be lar
ceny, arson, escapes or murder they
are punishable by military courts and.
not by civil courts. So you cannot
investigate such matters, and the
sheriff has no legal right to make
arrests at such camps.”
