HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
FOR LIBERATION OP GEO. H. BELL

Next Wednesday.
Geo. H. Belt, formerly representative
from Emanuel county in the Georgia
legislature, new an inmate of the state
.sanitocriura will be given a hearing on a
writ of Habeas Corpus next Wednesday
before Ordinary W. H. Stembridge.
Luke J. KiMmrn, of Macon, took out
the neceesary papers in Milledgevilte
Wednesday and attorney McNeil will
handle the legal side of the question.
Bell has written many letters to in-
Jividualsmnd to the press of the state,
many of which have been published.
Jt is authoritatively stated that an In*
’ianapoiis' woman is back of the move*
ment to liberate Bell and she spent a
couple of days here this week.
The grounds on which the writ of
Habeas Corpus was secured is on an
allegation that Beil was not formally
committed to the sanitarium and that
he is sane. In hut letters to the public
Bell characterized the sanitarium and
its management in bitter terms and
made other statements which caused
people here to discredit his stery as
they knew this feature to be a mistake.
Dr. Jenes, superintendent of the sani
tarium stated to The News Thursday
night that he and his entire advisory
board were thoroughly conviaced that
Bell is insane and farther that papers
were on tile showing that 4he patient
was properly committee to the institu

"After the first of May I shall be

with all classes in regard to our com
mon interests.
"I must spend the month of May and
June at my home in preparation for
the inauguration and the subsequent
duties and responsibilities of the high
office to which our fellow citizens have
called me.
"After the inauguration i will scarce
ly lie able to make aueh visits as these,

event, to remain at the capitol and at
tend to the duties which the laws have
placed upon the executive.”

Milledgeville, Monday, January 25
Bald yin county superior court for tho
January term concluded its business
Wednesday. During the entire ten-day
session there was little of interest to
the general public and aside from the
juri s bit few people attended.
A matter of much interest, ifi view
of the fact that about half dozen local
lawyers were engaged on the case, was
that of the trial of Chancey Trawick
charged with killing Jeff Humphries
last August. The arguments of tho at
torneys consumed considerable time
and the ju’-y finally returned a verdict
for involuntary manslaughter and the
prisoner was given three years.
The defendant was represented by
Hines and Vinson and Judge Allen,while
Solicitor Jos. E. Pottle, assisted by
Senator J. D. Howard, represented the
state in the prosecution. The at
torneys for the defendant have filed
motion for a new trial on the ground
that the killing was justifiable.
Another case was that of Harry * os-
eph, a little negro for entering the
establishment of Mr. J. H. Ennis Al
though he was a diminutive coon of ex
ceeding* tender years to be such a bad
character the jury found him guiilv and
Judge Lewis imposed a sentence of
three months, or $50 upon him.
Prices—25c, 50c, 75c and $1.00.
