SUPERIOR COURT IN
SESSION THIS WEEK
COURTNEY MARLOW
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Judge Hoop’s Able Charge to the Grand
Jury at Opening Monday Morning
A Feauture—Nally Case Holds
The Court for Two Days
Tho regular spring term of Carroll
Superior court convened Monday morn
ing. Tho grand jury was empaneled
with Mr. I.. S. Sims, vice president Oi
Citizens Bank, as foreman. Mr. W J.
Aldridge was elected clerk ot the body.
Returning to tho court mom, the
grand jnrv heard one of the most bril
liant and illuminating charges over de
livered to such a body in Carroll coun
ty, when Jtldge Hoop spoke from the
bench. . . , , , .
in language clear and unnustakablo
Judge Hoop charged tho grand ,ptry
about their various duties, laying par
ticular stress upon a proper regard for
.the enforcement of the prohibition
statutes. . .,
Ho said it was tlio duty of tlic grand
iurv to investigate all liquor law vio
lations, and to indict, in every ease
where tho evidence warranted such ac
tion. ,
Chain-gang sentences would be im
posed, ho said, in cases whore flagrant
violations of tlio prohibiton stntutos
were shown.
“X have no patonco with tlioBO who
a ,iv the prohibition statutes should not
be enforced. They should bo along
with all other statutos, so long ns they
*re tho law of tho land,” ho declared.
He also called attention to laws gov
erning investigations of county affairs,
and urged tho body to bo diligent in,
all its' labors along these lines.
Thoso who heard Judge Roop’s chargo
say it was n most able one, and the
pity of it, that an oven larger number,
of citizens than were present could have
heard it.
Two days wore taken up in the trial
of Nally Brothers of Villa Rica vb. In
surance companies for $8,000.00. Last
year Nally Brothers suffered a loss of
storo house, merchandise and some ma
chinery. They carriod insurance that
amunted to $8,000.00, but payment of
this sum was refused by tho insurance
companies charging failuro of compli
ance with tho stipulations in tho insur
ance policies. A compromise was of
fered hy tho insurance companies of
about $4,000.00. Nally Brothers ro^
fused to accept this amount mid brought
suit in the Superior court for tho full
amount of $8,000.00. Thursday morn
ing tho jury rendered a verdict for the
plaintiffs for $4,200.00.
Noxt. week tho criminal docket will
