Thaw waa In another of hta surly
moods when he awakened In his cell
today. He denounced what he termed
the petty methods of the district at

changed, however, when he was told
that the twelve Jurors now In the box

He then said he was glad the trial

"I have had much respect for the
Jury system In thle country hereto-

moment my highest expectations havs
been fulfilled." — —
When aeked what the line of defense
would be, Mr. Delmaa replied:
"The line of defenseT Do you know

In illustrating the practical power
of Christ upon men in every day life,
he said: “Thank God for The Atlanta

produce such editors as the editor of
The Atlanta Georgian and News, who
writes upon politics with the moral

dashes into the greatest interests of mankind with a master
fulness and complacency of utterance that is comprehensive
enough to edify the sages and simple enough to instruct our
