A new and unexpected turn has
been taken in the famous Brown
will case in Atlanta. By consent of
the attorneys representing both sides,
the case was appealed to jury trial in
the superior court, “without prejudice
of a verdict from the court of ordi¬
nary.”
The case in question is the demand
made a few months ago by Mrs. E. L.
Connaliy, Elijah Brown, George Brown
and Miss Sally Brown, children of
the late United States Senator Jo¬
seph E. Brown, that their brothers,
Julius Brown and Joseph M. Brown,
be discharged as executors of the mil¬
lion dollar estate left by Governor
Brown. The allegations in this de¬
mand for dismissal were extremely
sensational, It being charged that the
executors were holding the estate to¬
gether for their own personal spite;
instead of dividing it; that Julius
mown was habitually intoxicated;
that the estate was being mismanaged
and wasted.
Especial attention will be given to
securing a due share of the immigra¬
tion of a desirable character, not only
from the foreign countries, but par¬
ticularly from other states of the j
union.
