, ^Atlanta.—Expressing their determi
nation to fight to have Mrs. Cora Lou
Vinson, slayer of their father, die on
' the gallows, Dr. W. B. Vinson and
Dr. T. D. Vinson, sons of Dr. W. D.
Vinson, and stepsons of Mrs. Vinson,
issued a statement charging that they
were "handed a dirty rotten deal” when
the, state and attorneys for the defend
ant agreed for her to receive a new
trial, enter a, plea of guilty_ to a charge
of murder and take a sentence of life
imprisonment in lieu of the death pen
alty imposed several months ago.
"We have been fighting this case
from the beginning to tho end,” the
sons declared, “and will continue, to
fight it. We shall still insist on a
death penalty. We are* not prepared
to state what our course of procedure
shall be, but some steps will be taken.”
When Informed of their statement,
E. A. Stephens, assistant solicitor gen-
• eral, assorted that there is no move
they can make to change the present
status of the case. "When a plea
of guilty is entered and sentence is
passed, the case is terminated as far
as the courts are,concerned," he said.
According to Mr. Stephens, the .of
fice of Solicitor General Boykin agreed
to a new trial for Mrs. Vinson pro
vided she would immediately enter a
plea of guilty to the .murder indict
ment. It was understood, he said,
that in such event the sentence of the
court would be life imprisonment in
stead of death.
Mrs. Vinson is ready to begin her
torm and will be placed in the state
prison farm within the next few days,
it wak stated at the Fulton tower.

•V . "Big Occasion
Atlanta.—The greatest fair in the
Southeast came to an end October 21
when the Southeastern Fair Associa
tion closed its gates upon an exposi
tion which W- declared to have set a
new standard for briliancy and magni
tude of exhibits. Attendance figures
were not available at the time of the
. closing, as officials were engaged in
checking up rec6itpk until a late-hour.
Thousands of tickets to the fair had
been disposed of in downtown booths,
and as far as could be determined,
attendance figures will stand as good
as those of any previous years, or may
eclipse them. It was apparent that of
ficials were exceeding well pleased with
the success of this year’s fair.)
Discussing the fair on the 'closing
Bight, President Oscar Mills stated that
he was well pietoed with the showing
the fair had made, and expressed his
belief that it was the best south of
Ohio during the present season.
Friday, October 20, the day set aside
for the entertaining of the Georgia
^Weekly Press Association, was a most
enjoyable one, and one which proved
an occasion long to be remembered.

PEAL TO U. S. COURT

Transportation
London.—Premier Bonar Law has is
sued a list of the principal members
of his ministry. His own name is not
mentioned in tb« official list, which
leaves it to be inferred that he takes
no other office than that of prime min
ister and; first lord of the treasury,
the latter being a post without speci
fied duties beyond those attaching to
the premiership.
Marquis Cuvzon retains his post as
secretary for foreign affairs and will
be leader of the house of lords. Vis
count Peel retains the Indian secretary
ship.
Stanley Baldwin, as expected, goes
to the exchequer, but it has not yet
been announced whether he will be
loader In the house of commons.
The earl of Derby at the war office
rosumes a post which he has held
before. . The priihe minister had the
greatest difficulty with the law of
fices.
The attorney general, Douglas Mac-
garel Hogg, is new to his office. He
was formerly closely associated with
Lord Curzon. His wife is the daughter
of Judge Trimble Brown of Nashville,
Tennessee, and widow of the Hon. A.
J. Majorihanks.
The new cabinet was officially an
nounced as follows:
Lord president of the council, Mar
quis of Salisbury.
■ Lord high chancellor, Viscount Cave.
Chancellor of the exchequer, Stanley
Baldwin.
Secretary for home affairs, William
Bridgeman.
Secretary for foreign affairs, Lord
Curzon.
Minister of agriculture, Sir Robert
A. Sanders. .
Secretary for Scotland, Viscount No-
var. V
Attorney general, Douglas McG.
H'-gg.
Lord advocate, Hon. W. A. Watson.
Secretary for the colonies, the Duke
of Devonshire.,
Secretary for India, Viscount Peel.
Secretary for war, the Earl of Derby.
First lord of the admiralty, Lieut.
Col. L. C. M. S. Amery.

Philip LIoyd-Graeme.
Minister of health, Sir Arthur Grif-
flth-Roscawed.
President of the board of education,
Edward F. L. Wood, M. P., for the
Ripon division of Yorkshire.
There are still a number of appoint
ments to be made, and it is noticeable
that the five officers held under Pre
mier Lloyd George by Austen Chamber
lain, H. A. L. Fisher, T. J. MacNamara,
Sir Homar Greenwood and the earl of
Crawford and Balcarass, who all poined
Lloyd George, in tOT* wilderness, are
not filled. It is expected that the
office of chief secretary for Ireland
will be abolished and the ministry of
labor will be merged into some other
department,
New York.-*-Federal Judge Leai’ned
Hand handed down a decision dismiss
ing the motion of foreign and Ameri
can ship companies for a permanent
injunction restraining ^federal prohibi
tion agents from putting into effect the
bone dry ruling of Attorney General
Daugherty. He extended the &i.uy tem
porarily, however; providing that the
steamship companies file an Immediate
appeal to the United States Supreme
court.
Judge Hand decided in favor of the
government on ,all points. The deci
sion was rendered on the specific mat
ter of (ha application of foreign lines
for an injunction protecting from seiz
ure ships' carrying' liquor under seal
on the eastbound voyage from the
United States. ,
The decision applies to both foreign
nnd American lines because of the state
ment made by Judge Hand during the
injunction proceedings last week that
a defeat of the motion of foreign lines
would naturally bring about defeat of
the American lines’ motion for an in
junction.
The temporary extension of the stay
granted by Judge Hand applies only
to liquor to he used ^s supplies for
members of the ships’ crews on the
east-bound voyage to Europe. This ex
tension was granted on) the furnishing
of a bond of twenty-five thousand by
the steamship- companies to guarantee
that the liquor would not be used for
any other purposes than the one stip-
Judge Hands foufr&^tttat steamships,
in carrying liquor and serving it to
passengers and members of the crew,
were guilty of transportation, but he
said he would go no further than to
issue an injunction against interfer
iiig with the carriage of a stotjk neo
tssary for the crews’ rations bn the
east-bound voyage,
"The plaintiffs must each £ive a
bond of twenty-five thousand ‘dollars
conditional against the use of such
stocks for any other purpose than as
crews’ rations,” he added, dismissing
all other motions for injunctions.
