Colquitt County. De-
Tnomasville, Dec. 26.—Judge Rob-
j ert O- Mitchell overruled a motion for
a new trial In the case of the State
vs. Jim Johnson, convicted fit the
term of Colquitt superior court of the
offense of murdering his own father,
John A. Johnson. The attorneys for
the defendant. Jim Johnson, will im
mediately appeal the case to the su
preme court, and If there affirmed,
Mr. Jim Johnson will spend the re
mainder of his days In the peniten
tiary.
John A. Johnson, a prominent farm
er, living in the southern portion of
Colquitt county was shot last Septem
ber while at supper with his family,
by some unknown person from the

shot.
A shot gun^was found near by in a
swamp with one empty shell and the
gun was left to remain just ns found
but secretly watched und Mr. Jim
Johnson, it Is claimed, was seen to
secretly slip to the gun and more
securely bide It in the mud.
Later when asked about the gun,
denied knowing anything about it
This with other circumstances strong
ly pointed to his guilt lead to his ar
rest, and upon trial before a jury of
bis countrymen was found guilty of
murder with recommendation, Mr.
Johnson has remained in jail ever
since awsltlng the final disposition of
the matter.
