J. J. TAYLOR, COCHRAN, GEORGIA. 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.

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 . ending, ADVERTISE in the 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. THE'PROOFesPUDIm. |n2'-scr —I - iswtJ I J£rjrrL£S FATI9 ■ kul l> 111 IM yw. II .
