M. J. YEOMANS
“The State of Georgia won a law
suit Saturday, and thereby enriched
its treasury by a sum estimated at
$400,000,1)00,
The decision culminated legal ac
tion begun in the Superior Court in
1932, and concluded in the Supreme
Court in 1934. It was on a motion
for rehearing filed by Judge Yeomans
that the final decision in favor of the
State was handed down.
From a law viewpoint it was prob
ably the most interesting case in the
records of the State for several dec
ades, and the total involved, S4OO,
000.000, was probably the largest
sum the State had won at law in
years. ’’ —Atlanta Constitution.
June 10th, 1934.
“Since Judge Yeomans assumed
the duties of the important office of
Attorney General, a little more >han
a year ago, he has sustained his rep
utation as an able lawyer and has
shown that the State’s legal interests
are in safe hands. He has engaged
in a number of important suits and
in each case has won a favorable ver
dict.’’ —Dawson News
“Judge Yeomans not only is one
of the ablest attorney generals that
the State has ever had, but he is one
of the best men in the State, a law
yer and a jurist of ripe experience,
and a public servant who is an orna
ment to the important office he occu
pies. Judge Yeomans has made
good on every count.’’
