Mrs. Grace Is Free
(AfaUat* Ga. Aug. 2nd]
Daisy Opi« Grace was found not
guilty thin afternoon.
The verdict was returned shortly
before 4:64 o’clock, after the jury
bad been out for more titan three
hours.
The verdict was reached at 4:30
o’clock, but it was not announced
until nearly a half an hour later
because Mrs. Grace was not in the
court room, and the jury’s decision
could not bo given before she ar
rived. • #
When Mrs. Grace entered she was
as white as & sheet. She was sup
porter! by Attorney Moore and De
tective'Burke. She had her hack to
the crowd and her lade was entire
ly concealed by her big Panama
hat. AVI ten the jury came in they
bad Jo file past her seat, and she
studied' thrfaces very intently as
though to learn me secret in their
hearts.
The judge announcer!:
“Mr, Foreman, read the verdict.”
“We the jury find the defendant
not guilty.”
Mrs. Groce was absolutely impas
ive for a moment. Her breast
heaved, and jlie uttered a great sigh
of relief. Her shoulder* rose and
fell as though she had uttered a
great cry.
The blood rushed back into her
face.
MBS. ORACK THANKS THE JURY.
John Moore arose and addressed
the coart.
“Your honor,*’ he said, “my
client wishes to thank the jury.”
Mrs. Grace arose trembling. She
studied herself with a hand on the
table ami turned half around to face
the jury.
“Gentlemen, I thank you,” she
said.
Her voice was infinitely lower and
weaker than when she was on th#
stand.
Judge Roan remarked to the re
porter* :
* 'Thats the end of the drama,
boye.”
Mrs. Grace, escorted by her lawy
ers, went over to the jury and shook
hands with each of the twelve men
who had given her her liberty.
The court announced that the crowd
must be orderly and the crowd filed
out fairly quiet, hut tense with ex
citement.
Mrs. Grace, to a casual observer
appearently calm, hut undoubtedly
torn with emotion within, went
down the court house elevator with
her lawyers. A crowd of three
hundred persons hung on their trail
and followed them out Mitchell St.
but without making any demon
stration.
They proceeded to the office i f
the county physician, Dr. S. H.
Green.
Detective Burke, who has been
her constant companion, declared
that she did not go there for medical
attention, but simply because the
physician is an old friend.
FRKED woman’s SIONED STATEMENT
At her lawyer’s office the freed
woman gave out this sig.ied state
ment:
“I have l>een asked to make a
statement since my acquittal. I
am gratified beyond expression,
but not surprised. I knew that
God would not forsake me in my
troubles. I was taught to believe
that He will never forsake the in
nocent. lam thankful for all who
have helped me. I will-reUume-'to
my little boy in a day or so and de
vote the rest of my life to him.
“I will live with my mother in
Philadelphia and try to oomfort her
as live.
“DAISY E. GRACE.”

Tippens Act Dies in
House: Can’t be
Revived.
[Atlauta Georgian]
Atlanta, Ga. Aug. s—The Tip
pins bill was defeated in the house
today by a vote of 91 to (59 with 21
absentees, on an aye and nay roll
call.
To pass the bill over the execu
tive veto, 123 votes, or two-third
The bill today failed to receive
the necessary two-thirds, and even
failed to receive two-thirds of the
voting quorum present. It
barely passed the constitutional
majority point 93.
In the extraordinary circumstan
ces under which the bill came be
fore the house, the suataining of the
governor’s veto »o overwhelmingly
is regarded as a significant and de
cided victor? for the executive, and
a relatively significant setback to-
Mr. Alexander and his gubernator
ial ambition,
. .The bill is absolutely dead. It
can not go to the senate. It can
not be received by the present legis
lature, save in the remote conting
ency of a reconsideration on the
.next legislative day,- and no attempt
at reconsideration will be made.
The bill came up under a special
order r«le adopted Wednesday, and
the question was a motion of Mr.
Hopkins, of Thomas, that the bill
paw, the executive veto notwith

JOURNAL.
Advocating Joe Hill
Hail
Editor Cochran Journal: —
The election to be held August
21st for the purpose of nominating
State Officers is one of more than
ordinary importance to the people
of Georgia—lt is not your preferen
ce for men—but for the measures
these men stand for —before you
vote for a man know how he stands
on the issues that are vital to your
best interest —whenever you find
the combination of office holders
politicians, and protected classes —
making promises, and working to
elect their men—they must be after
something at the state’s expense.
Then is the time for the farmer and
working man To vote for the man
who will protect the class who gen
erely have to pay the expenses.
The Georgia farmer has the un
mistakable evidence that Joe Hill'
Hall probably comes nearer repre-1
■enting him and his intent than any
other man in public life—’(especial
ly of Bibb County) and the working
men know that he has always been
staunchest friend and protector.
The people of Georgia all know that
Mr. Hall has the courage to stick
for what he believed right, even
againat his oWri personal interest.
The courage to say.no, w hen . a few
want the advantage over the ma
jority—To say no, to those wanting
special priviligee—
Can you say as much for other
candidates.?
By one who is for Georgj% and
for her future prosperity.
