WITNESS APPEARS IN COVINGTON
AFTER COURT ADJOURNS
An unusual situation developed this
week when Kelly, subpoenaed as a wit¬
ness in a Superior Court criminal case,
appeared before Clerk Otis Nixon, re¬
questing transportation to his‘home at
Millen.
According to the subpoena, Kelly was
to be in Covington on Monday, Septem¬
ber 25th. By hoboing and various “lifts”
he managed to arrive at that time, only
to find court adjourned owing to lack if
business.
Applying to Clerk Nixon, it was made
clear to Kelly that his subpoena needed
the solicitor’s O. K. In this case Kelly
cannot obtain pay until the January
term of court, and then only by the in¬
dorsement of Solicitor Brand.
Kelly, who has very recently moved
to South Georgia from Porterdale, re¬
turned home in a manner very similar
to his coming.
FOR RENT—My home on Anderson
Avenue.
