Court of Appeals Reverses Judge
Brand in the Griffin and
McCrary Cases,
3. W. Griffin, president, and R. H.
McCrary, cashier, of the Athens Trust
«nd Banking Company, who ware
each sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary on pleading guilty to
Hccepting deposits when they knew
their hank to be ■ insolvent, to-day
were grstited the privilege of a new
trial and the withdrawing of their
pleas of guilty, by a decision of the
State Court of Appeals, which re
versed the trial judge, Charles H.
Brand, of Athens,
The ruling was made on the ground
that-a-new trial should have be - ,
jranted and that Judge Brand erred
n not permitting the accused to
withdraw their pleas of guilty, which
had been made upon the assurance
ttf the State’s attorneys that a pun
ishment for a misdemeanor, instead
if for a felony, would be imposed by
the court.
The court noted that the agreement
among the attorneys as to the defend
ant's immunity to felony punishment
pas not binding upon Judge Brand,
an3 that therefore" to-day's decision
p-ould net 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
Plate and go on trial on all of the in
dictments. If they are, legally acquit
ted. the opinion says, the punish
ment to be meted out, within the stat
utory 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
nf the State, particularly in the cases
uhere an attempt is made to commit
-he judge himself.
The language of the plea died In
Pehalf of Griffin and McCrary before
Judge Brand, on the strength of the
agreement with the States' attorney,
pss "Guilty, with the recommendation
that they bo punished as for a mis
demeanor."
-ben, instead of a misdemeanor sen
tence, the five-years prison terms
were imposed, a motion was imme
diately made to withdraw the pleas of
guilty, but this was denied by Judge
Brand. -

Mouse in Her Hat;
If She'd Only Known!
It was on a South Pryor Street car
| the other morning. A woman board-
ed the car near Georgia Avenue.
Nhr gave her head a peculiar shake
! a, td several time*’ passed her hand
to her hat as if to straighten it into
i position.
Suddenly several men sitting be
hind her began to smile, looking
towards the woman's hat. She gave
it another punch and out popped a
small mouse, which scuttled away.
The woman remained in her seat
apparently unconcerned as to the
zoo she had been toting about
in her millinery.
The Waist, Gladys, Is
Where You Please.
Where is the waist this year?
y emininity sounds the eternal query
of spring fashions, a query for whos^
answer the About Town man made
a personal investigation along Peach-

I 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 sartorials. the waist, that
acid test of yesteryears, has Received
small attention from those who this
year set the styles.
The waist, Gladys, is where you

wear their waists an Indeterminate
distance between the hips and knees.
And there are suit** and suits on
Peachtree Street whose waists are
snugly belted somewhere in proximity
to the armpit.
First Lesson in

A cheerful agent stepped into a bus
iness man’s office the other dav and
set his grip on the floor.
"I have here." he said. “a. patent

“Don't need any glass cutter!”
snapped the business man.
"Ah, you don’t need a glass cutter!
Well, then, I have here a vacuum
cleaner that sells for forty dollars. It
is now in use in thousands of homes.
It is ”
"I don’t need a vacuum cleaner."
"Well, perhaps not: but then I have
something else here that will cer
tainty interest you. IF is a phono-
grajWi that retails for the small 'sum
of eleven dollars. There isn’t an
other phonograph in the world
that ”
"I wouldn't buy a phonograph on a
bet.” growled the business man, get
ting red in the face.
"Well. I am surprised! But then 1
have here a camera which sells for
$27. It will take the widest "
"No camera to-day!”- yelled the
business man.
”4Vell. then,'1 hare a automo

"For the love of Mike!” screamed
the business man. "Here's your quar

“Thank you,” said the agent;
"that's all I had to. sell in the first

Gamin Prefers Grand
Opera to Baseball.
A bunch of newsboys 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 heard three of
the operas last season and he says
nothing can keep him away from us
many this year. He is infatuated
witli grand opera and being some
thing of a musician—he plays tile
harmonica—he declares he simply
can't keep away.

This engine would have been in

and m.em,b.ers of 't’quucil tp securd
the equipment ,ut once.
“Let them .advertise for bids hi

“The Board of Fire. Masters ha)f

“We can not afford to delay, longer

C. Mason, of the Tenth Ward.
“If,we had had an engine in the he*Y

The engine is still packed in a freight
