Church Members Seek Protection
Valdosta.—Following the failure of
the Echols county grand jury to take
action, members of the Pentecost
church near Statenville made an ap
peal to Judge W. E. Thomas, of su
perior court, for protection, who or
dered the alleged offenders arrested on
peace warrants and placed under
heavy bonds. It was alleged that re
cently when the congregation was
holding worship a number of white
men threw burning brands into the
building and In other ways disturbed
the services. Vehicles left by the wor
shippers outside of the building were
run off into the woods and swamps,
it was charged. Moreover, it Is alleg

sion of a word has created a prob
lem for Judge Nunnally. It was in

ed pistol without license. The ver
dict of the Jury was "We, the jury
find the defendant on the first count."

defendant guilty or not guilty was not
stated, The attorney who read the
verdict, inadvertently read’it as though
the word "guilty** was written and it
was only when the clerk went on rec
ord the verdict, that it was found that
the jury had not made its verdict prop
erly. Unless the jury can he gathered
together again and the verdict reform-
ed, the discharge of the defendant is
probable.
