OFFICERS GET THE ATLANTA UEORGIAX AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. APRIL U>, iwi:;. Court of Appeals Reverses Judge Brand in the Griffin and McCrary Cases. ,T. W. Griffin, president, and R. H. McCrary, cashier, or the Athens Trust »nd Banking Company, who ware ach sentenced to five years in the penitentiary on pleading guilty to accepting deposits when they knew ilioir hank to he Insolvent, to-day ..■ere granted tile privilege of a new trial and the withdrawing of their pleas of guilty, by a decision of the State Court of Appeals, which re- . prsed the trial judge, Charles H, Brand, of Athens. The ruling was made on the ground that a new trial- should have be i iranted and that Judge Brand erred n not. permitting . the accused to vithdraw their pleas of guilty, which id been made upon the assurance if the State's attorneys that a pun ishment for a misdemeanor', instead ■f for a felony, would be imposed by the court. The court noted that the agreement miong the attorneys as to the defend ant's immunity to felony punishment .■as not binding upon Judge Brand, ind: that therefore to-day's decision ,iould not direct that a misdemeanor punishment be imposed, but rule sim ply that the accused men are entitled, if they desire, to join issue with the state and go on trial on all of the In dictments. If they are legally acquit- ed, the opinion says, the punish ment to be mried out, within the stat- .itory limits, is absolutely within the discretion of the trial judge. A sharp rap was taken at the prac tice of "bargain-making" in the courts if the State, particularly in the cases where an attempt Is made to commit (he judge himself. The language of the piea filed in tiehalf of Griffin and McCrary before fudge Brand, on the strength of the agreement with the States’ attorney, ..as "Guilty, with the recommendation Unit they be punished as for a mis demeanor." hen, instead of a misdemeanor sen tence. the five-years prison terms ..ere imposed, a motion was imme- iately made to withdraw the pleas of guilty', but tills was denied by Judge Brand. Mouse in Her Hat; If She'd Only Known! It was on a South Pryor Street tar the other morning. A woman board ed the car near Georgia Avenue. She gave her head a peculiar shake*, and several timer passed her hand to her hat as if to straighten it Into position. Suddenly several men sitting he-- hind her began to smile, looking toward" the woman’s hat. She gave it another punch and out popped.' a small mouse, which scuttled aw$y. The woman remained in her/scat apparently unconcerned as to the young zoo she had been toting* about in her millinery. The Waist, Gladys, Is f Where You Please. Where is the waist this .year? . Femininity sounds the eternal query of spring fashions, a query for whose answer the About Town man made a personal investigation aJong Peach tree Street and adjacent thorough fares la«t evening. And the answer, it finds, is an echoed “where?” To judge the evidence gleaned from Atlanta street displays, if the latest things in sartorial®, the waist, that acid test of yesteryears, has received small attention from thore who this year set the styles. The waist, Gladys, is where you please. Those who affect the Bulga rian mode of questionable etheticism wear their waists an in (determinate distance between the hips and knees. And there are suite and suits on Peachtree Street whose waists are snugly belted somewhere in proximity to the armpit.

A bunch of newshoys were congre gated about the alley- which leads from the railroad tracks in Wall Street to The Georgian press room. They were waiting for the city edi tion to come off the press and were killing time as only Atlanta news boys know how. “Wish I could git off dis atternoon ter de ball game,” said one chap jing ling the coins with which he pur posed buying his afternoon’s stock in trade. "Well. I don’t," ejaculated another boy. "I’m savin’ up me money to hear de gran’ op, I is.” And he Is, too.

He is infatuated wijth grand opera and being some thing of a musician—he plays the harmonica—he declares he simply can’t keep away. Opposes LaFrance Purchase and Says Bids Must Be Adver tised For.

After using everything In the house without results I hurried out to find a drug store and had to go to Elkin-Watson’s before I could find one open. Ten minutes after the first application of Vick's the baby was completely relieved. Since then you may he sure we al ways keep a package on hand.” Vick’s, the new remedy for colds. coughs, croup and pneumonia, vomer, ' in salve form and is applied external!' - ! i" the throat and chest, covering with | hot flannel cloths.
