Glenn, repre sentative from Whitfield county In the Georgia legislature, said: "I left home yesterday afternoon, am familiar with the facts In the case. I have no apologies to make.

No punishment that could be Inflicted would be too severe. Such a man Is an outlaw of the deepest dye. and Is entitled to no protection whatever. No county nor court should be put to the expense of trying such a brute. No woman nor gtrl should be made to rehearse the horrible ordeal through which she had passed.
